DON’T bug her while she’s working! 

 

That’s Steffi Graf – a great tennis player and she thinks fast on her feet too! 

DON’T Say “I think I’m going to puke” After You Say Yes.


Normally I would also say DON’T interrupt her favorite TV show but I think the above was a pretty awesome exception.

I don’t have video of this, but the first time my husband proposed he just said “How about it? You want to get married?” casually over the table.

I said, “Forget it” and then I had to wait around wondering if he was ever going to bother to ask me again. So maybe this rule should actually be “DO say yes the first time he asks if you actually want to marry him”. Hmmm….
