As I burst out of the shower shouting “Eureka!” my husband deftly jumped out of my way and asked for clarification.
Feeling softhearted for his unencumbered mind, I explained I found the foolproof, bulletproof and possibly soundproof formula for knowing if your romantic partner is ‘the one’.
- One of you is more social than the other.
- One of you has a better memory than the other.
- One of you cries more easily than the other.
- One of you sits near the window seat and the other to the aisle.
- One of you has a weirder sneeze than the other.
- One of you gets bitten more by a mosquito than the other.
- One of you likes jazz more than the other.
- One of you sleeps on the left side of the bed, and the other the right.
- There are two of you, and you are one of them.
Awestruck by my wisdom, my husband nodded and slowly walked away to his home office — as if he didn’t want to agitate a mind unleashed.
