Back from anniversary dinner...
Husband has an affinity for nicknames. Oh dear. Married this long, you'd think he couldn't think up another one. You'd think he wouldn't feel compelled to think up another one. But no.
And he gets way too....
Because the story I told when I came back from dinner? One he'd never heard before in all these years... about my father telling me I "had a touch of polio as a baby." And my scepticism. How could one HAVE "a touch of polio?" I don't believe it. I was born in 1966. Can that have happened? I don't think so.
Husband leaped on this story saying, "But you do have little polio shoulders."

So now he's translated "my little polio shoulders." Because -- oh yeah -- the nicknames? Almost always in French. For some reason. Don't ask me. I don't know.
This one will stick. He's too excited about it.
Mon petit d'epaules des poliomyelite.
Is that even translated correctly? Geez.
Neither of us can stop laughing.
