This Valentine’s Day, because we’re sodding balls of mush, because the OJ-Boy romance is far from typical (who gets a book on financial investing on the very first V-Day of their relationship? I do!), and because it is my moral duty to educate you about the reality of this cotton candy-filled, chocolate-centered, gooey-as-snot emotion, here is a compilation of my Twitter hashtag ‘Things Marrieds Say To Each Other’. I don’t guarantee sappy, puppy-eyed romance. But I do promise this: Someone, somewhere was made for your sense of humor. And blessed are those who land them.

“I’m an equal opportunity farter.”
“I love how effective our communication is. The morning greeting beautifully boils down to one word: “COFFEE!”
“I have photographic rights. When we married, you signed off on them.”
“Isn’t Cheteshwar Pujara that Bihari festival?”
“I never find anything soulful. Except maybe a shoe.”
“I will share my life but not my plate /The depth of my heart isn’t quite that great.”
“My needs are simple. Coffee and a little Tiffany.”
“You had me at correct punctuation.”
“Oh good lord, don’t pass out! That’s not my toe lying on the carpet, it’s the Band-Aid!”
“You’re my ardhaangini. So I get half of every cupcake.”
“That’s your ‘We’re getting late’ sigh.” ~ “Yeah, and…?” ~ “Aaaaargh!! I can identify your various sighs!”
“You’re too far away.” Apparently, six inches of separation is terribly much.
You know that awkward phase between sizes?” ~ “Hmm.” ~ “You don’t know! You’ve always been 1 size! Just PRETEND!”
“Ear-digging can be a dangerous business. I just found chocolate shavings in mine.”
“‘Bheeda’ and ‘eeda’ rhyme. That’s proof that they’re meant to be together.”
“My camera, my house, my wife,” he says, when I accuse him of being a stalker. Damn such sound logic!
“It’s MENstruation, not womenstruation, and yes, you can tweet that.”
“You’re so much more than a pretty face.” ~ “You’re so much more than a wild imagination.”
“Sometimes people are broken and imperfect, you can’t reject them because of it!” ~ “Baby, it’s a WAFFLE.”
“I think I’m getting bucktoothed.”
“What do you call someone whose farts knock people out?” ~ “What?” ~ “Gaseous Clay.”
“See you in my dreams,” he says, blowing a kiss from his pillow.”Oh, and make dhansak while you’re there.”
“I’m not cooking dal. Then you’ll have a bad air day.”
Me (digging into his IHOP pancakes): “Babe, these are two of the three pillars of our marriage.”
“I’ve had better luck finding a spouse than a coffee table.”
“In this new year, may you realize the critical importance of coasters.”
“I’d say your eyes are my windows to the world, but now you have Twitter.”
“Ooh, baby, you’re so fly!” ~ Me to the Boy every time he takes a plane.
“Even the inside of your nose is cool and nice.”
“I share my LIFE with you. Now you want my mawa cake as well?!”
“It’s so hard to walk around hearing the Canon all day!” ~ “Wow, that must be loud.” ~ “I mean Pachelbel’s.” ~ “Oh!”
“Bless you…now that you’ve sprayed your germs on the wall.”
“That’s it. We’re moving to a nudist colony. I’m not doing the laundry anymore.”
“Repeating verbatim what your spouse wants you to say.”
