Sensitive About Perfection?
Posted By Amy on January 31, 2006
Jennifer Aniston only thought Brad Pitt lacked a sensitivity chip…
When my husband was little he announced to his mother that he “had never had a perfect day.” Guaranteed that a perfect day would include beer and some form of fishing for him. This came up over breakfast on Sunday and I said, “What about our wedding day?”
He said, “It rained.”
I’ve always felt rain was lucky and was actually pretty happy that it rained even if we had an outdoor reception.
I said, “What about the day your daughter was born?”
He said, “Are you kidding me? That was a nightmare!!! And… it rained. ”
I suppose that I might be more upset if he had a perfect day that didn’t include me. Maybe I just have low standards where my version of perfection is concerned. Or maybe I am more of an optimist than I originally thought.
I think that any day that ends with a brand new, healthy, bundle of life in this world is perfect. I think that any day that ends with two people who are soulmates, together, in love, and incredibly happy (too many pictures or NOT Mr. Doran) is a perfect day.
But, then again, I’m strange… or my husband really is an assmonkey… or both, could be both.

I’m with you! It doesn’t take much for me to have a perfect day but my husband is the same; he’ll always find something that wasn’t up to par.
men.
I think it’s a little of both. But, I agree with you!
I’m with you and Zazzafooky! It doesn’t take much to be a perfect day for me. (It’s the simple things that make it so)
3T
Zazzafooky Why are they like that? I don’t get it.
Zube LOL You are probably right.
3T Amen! I don’t need sunshine and rainbows to make it perfect…
If everyone’s still breathing at the end of my day, it is a success.
The day I get to quit my job will be a perfect day.
Aww! Did you ask him what he thought would be the perfect day?
Maybe his sights are too high. I mean, we can’t all win the lottery, lose 10lbs, hair all fall in place, pick the perfect outfit, etc. in one day.
Happy (perfect) Groundhog Day!
LOL
Chickie Nothing unreasonable about either one of those things!

KentuckyGurl Oh this isn’t the first time this conversation has come about. His idea of a perfect day would involve fishing, beer, a boat, lots of fish biting, cool temps and a clear, glassy lake… $#@#$%%$##$
Marti Right back atcha!!! LOL
Ummm…. I think husband is an assmonkey. LOL. A Perfect day? Now come on. I have to say that a perfect day is only what you make it.
Dazed I agree… husband IS an assmonkey and a perfect day is only what you make of it!
