Love: If you’re happy and you know it

“Aren’t you happy that I’m happy you’re home?”

“Oh yeah. I’m happy,” Mr. T deadpans, without looking away from his computer screen.

A few seconds go by.

I watch as he then claps twice and gives me a curious little side-eye.

A beat passes before I burst into laughter.

Love

He double checks about an hour later to make sure I caught the proper meaning of his “If you’re happy and you know it” gesture.

Yes, I assure him. There are many reasons I was so happy he got home from a four-day flying adventure. A big one: He makes me laugh like no other person on earth.
