I only nag you, because I want you to be happy

Several night ago, Randy and I were lying in bed talking and I wrapped up my portion of the conversation by saying, "I only nag you (about this) because I want you to be happy."

Oh, did he get a laugh out of that one. And really, I wasn't trying to be funny. It was totally and completely appropriate in the context of our conversation. Or, so I thought.

Whatever my intent and purpose was, he found it hilarious. He called it "deep woman logic" that was "simple, yet complex" and made complete and utter sense to him in his quest for understanding me.

What? Oh no! Part of the mystery and intrigue that surrounds me is the fact that Randy does not fully understand me. What have I done? Did I spill the beans on myself? On all woman-kind? Have I ruined it for everyone?

I relent. It's true. I nag, because I want everyone to be happy. Or, at least, my brand of happiness.

So, when you hear me nag my husband, nag my girls or nag my friends, it's only because of the love I have in my heart.

[Sigh...]
