what my husband likes

"I have a crush on our mechanic," I said.

My husband smiled. "He's really nice," he said.

I giggled.

"He has a really intense gaze," he said. "It seems like he notices everything."

"Yeah," I said.

"I think he really knows what he's doing," he said.

"Do you have a crush on him too?" I asked.

"Yeah," he said.

We waited in line to pay, and a TV was on in the waiting area, playing Mr Rogers. We admired Mr Rogers. "Is that picture-picture?" my husband asked. But I didn't know what he was talking about.

"I wish Mr Rogers was my dad," I said. Which feels rude to say, but it's true.

"He's so nice," my husband said.
