   ooh! in line with your title, an entire chapter devoted to bathroom etiquette sounds crucial, including:
   – how to squeeze a toothpaste tube
   – the magic of the never-ending roll of toilet paper (hint: it’s not)
   – toilet seat: up or down?

   sukanya: ‘Find the River’ gives me goosebumps. Ooooh.

   Zarine: Congratulations, Zarine! 😀 Enjoy the feeling.

   Null Pointer: That’s it. You’re co-author.

   alice-in-wonder: Haha, watch that sense of wonder balloon if and when you do get hitched. 😉 😆

   Shut the door, i can hear you pee
   Turn over, you’re on a snoring spree
   And yes, if there’s excess salt
   Drown it with your single-malt
   Relevant even today, trust me, turning forty!

    How about remembering to tell people you are married so they don’t look at your spouse funny when she shows up on your arm at the badminton court

    Aunty G: I’ve always wondered why no one remembers these bits while creating/taking their vows. 😉

    Null Pointer: ‘Real’ authors say “whoop”, “poop”, and everything in between. Gotta keep it real, right? 😛

    Meera: ROFL!! 😆 I have to confess, I’d look at people blankly for a long time when they mentioned my “husband”. It’s not easy, you don’t have one for 32 years and then suddenly, boom…you have to remember he exists!

    omigosh! I swear I didn’t read your response before I posted today. I feel so validated — whoop to the poop! Ok, I’m sure that’s not what you meant, but wahoo-s all the same. Can’t wait to take a lick off your first draft/manifest.

    Aunty G I love the limerick and your skilful play on words. Now if only I can come up with witty lines like yours for all the situations the Dear Husband puts me in, I might have a bestseller 🙂
