Pure Precious Jealousy
Adorable Children, Boyfriend/Girlfriend, Dating, Grocery Store, Richmond, Silly, USA, Virginia | Romantic | November 5, 2017
(I met my husband when we both worked for a grocery store. We’ve only been dating a few months at this point, and I like to pick on him about things. A new cashier has just started, and he is around our age, but he seems young and nerdy. I think he’s cute in his awkwardness, like a child, and I mention it to my then-boyfriend.)
Boyfriend: “How can you say that to me?”
Me: “What do you mean? Do you want me to lie?”
Boyfriend: “Well, no, but you don’t have to tell me, either!”
(Just then, a mother with her young son dressed in a Superman costume walks by. A coworker comes up to me.)
Coworker: “Did you see him? Wasn’t he just precious?”
Me: *eyes light up* “I know! He was so adorable!”
(My boyfriend glowers at me and turns a dark shade of red before I burst out laughing.)
Me: “We’re talking about the little boy in a costume! Did you not see him?”
Boyfriend: “Oh, no, I didn’t. I thought you were talking about the other guy, still.”
(He finally saw how funny that was and chuckled about it. I still like to pick on him about the day he was jealous of a five-year-old.)
