Gender Roles as they Apply to Square Dancing

Running!

Picture 1 of 2

When you have a hilarious spouse you pretty much have entertainment for life.  After eight years of marriage, Q still regularly makes me laugh so hard that I snort and drool on myself.  I can’t think of a higher compliment I could pay to anyone.  Maybe I have an odd definition of compliment.

A snippet of conversation we had whilst eating green bean soup and watching Psych (USA, Wednesday 10 PM!);

Q (big puppy eyes): Will you be my partner for everything, always and forever?

Jenna:  Of course!

Q (straight face):  Great.  I need you to be my synchronized swimming partner.

Jenna:  Oh, I see.  I will if I get to wear a flowered cap and I’ll need water wings.

Q (aghast):  You can’t wear water wings in synchronized swimming!

Jenna:  No one can tell us what to do.  We can make our own damn synchronized swimming rules!

Q:  I also need you to be my hoedown square-dancing partner.

Jenna (throwing spoon into bowl):  I will promenade the shit out of you.

Q (frowning):  That is fine but I really think I’m supposed to promenade you.

I didn’t want to ruin his square dancing fantasy so I did not introduce a refreshing argument about bullshit gender roles.  I don’t really have any new pictures to post that are relevant to this topic, so please enjoy these pictures of Q in a kilt and our Corgi, Lew, romping in the yard.
