Dear Wonderful Hubby Stories – Smiley Faces On Toast

By Cynthia Sax on July 28, 2020

The Dear Wonderful Hubby is not a morning person. He isn’t grumpy (his default mood is happy) but it takes him a while to wake up.

So I am usually the one who makes breakfast.

Sometimes I’m inspired and I’ll make an omelette or scrambled eggs. Most days, I’m not very wide awake myself and I make toast for both of us.

I try to add a little drama to these rather boring breakfasts by doing things like putting the raisins on his peanut butter-topped toast in the shape of a happy face. The Dear Wonderful Hubby LOVES this. He always sits in his chair, looks down at the smiley face and he smiles also.

He’s convinced the happy face makes the toast taste better…which led to this conversation with a coworker this morning.

Coworker: (on phone) All my son likes to eat is peanut butter and toast. I can’t get him to eat anything else.

Dear Wonderful Hubby: Have you tried adding raisins?

Coworker: He wouldn’t eat it.

Dear Wonderful Hubby: Were the raisins in the shape of a happy face? (says this sincerely as though that makes a difference) That’s how my wife makes it.

(grins) He makes me smile so hard.

Testing Truth

A fun-loving cyborg gets serious about love.

***

Truth lives each moment as though it were his last. The cyborg warrior rushes into danger, teases beings he shouldn’t provoke, accepts every call of adventure he encounters.

When a prissy little human princess floats into the Rebel structure Truth is occupying, seeking a mercenary to assist her and her unusual entourage, he volunteers to be her warrior. She claims their assignment is dangerous, warns him he might not survive the task.

That is exactly the type of fun he has been seeking.

Princess Nanette of the planet Royaume must rescue her estranged brother from an enemy prison ship. That is her duty, and she has been trained to always place the needs of her planet and her subjects before her own. Nancy doesn’t have the freedom to indulge her passions for a certain dark-haired, gray-skinned cyborg. Not permanently and not publicly.

But she is unable to resist the warrior. Truth, with his laughing eyes, smiling lips, and rough hands, tempts her as no one else ever has. He could be her one fleeting act of rebellion before she’s matched with the powerful ruler her planet requires.

If they survive their current mission.

Their love is doomed. Their lifespans are at risk. This cyborg and his princess will need the help of every ally they have if they wish to see another sunrise.
