“That’s one spooky alien.”
“I’m worry more about the Devil.”
“At least the Devil is smiling.”
“The alien looks like he’s pooping.”
I laughed. “Only you.”
We headed towards the store, looking around at all the chain-saw sculptures. At the wall of black bears and monkeys piled onto the front lawn.
“This is really creepy.”
Tim put his arm around me. “Come on. Wouldn’t one of these looked great in the yard.”
“Don’t you dare!”
“Our anniversary is coming up.” Teasing.
I slapped his arm. “You bring one of those things home and I’ll leave.”
“Promise?”
I hit him again, still gentle.  “You’d fall apart in minute without me.”
“True,” he agreed. “So you’d better stay to make me sandwiches.”
Holding hands, we walked into the store, ending up with a 5 inch tall alien, memorial of the greatest anniversary ever.
