Took him less than 2 minutes. He’s taking this “flash” thing literally

The pain roared from his chin to his eardrums. Her fist was cocked and her eyes yelled that she was going to throw another punch.
“Whoa! What’s gotten into you?” he asked as he rubbed the stubble on his cheek.
“Come on, you said you wanted to spar, so let’s fight” she said.
He rolled his jaw from side to side. “yeah, but I thought we’d practice some wrestling and maybe roll around a little…I was hoping all the contact might lead to something more fun” he said with a grin.
She stared. “No,” she whispered, and unloaded another jab.

The Husband’s interpretation of Matchbox 20′s song Push, courtesy of Mel. Lance should like this (it’s dealing with fighting after all)

This husband of yours, he’s pretty good at this…

the juxaposition of their emotional states fits great with the song. you reverse genders and suddnely you hear Rob Thomas’ voice, singing.
excellent 100, Carrie husband

I can relate. A little “light” wrestling should lead to something more fun. It’s time to go into the pounting, mistreated husband mode and play the hurt-feelings/sympathy card.

I used to train in martial arts. Whenever I was preparing for a tournament, my husband would gear up and spar with me. Nothing better than getting a good shot at his head. Very cathartic… thanks for bringing on that memory.

I agree with you, JesterQueen
She has an excuse to deck him. Hope he gets her laughing and the sparring turns around for him…

Does he write professionally? I’m a bit jealous that he can turn out 100 words in 2 minutes like that. I have to edit. It can take me 30 minutes, lol.

No, he doesn’t do it professionally but he’s always had a way with words. Plus he used to do Toastmasters and compose a “table topic” speech (you are given a topic and have to create a 5 min speech immediately) really fast so his brain is wired to think quickly I guess

Table Topics is a 2 minute speech. I’m just clarifying in case anyone is interested in Toastmasters

Heh. Methinks she wasn’t having as much fun as he was pre-fight.
