Asterisk Mode

I was totally like this after my wife and I got engaged. “Can’t you see that I’m engaged?! I am getting soup and I am engaged!!!”

And then after the wedding, “Can’t you see that I’m married?! I am eating soup and I am married!!!”

And then after we found out we were having a baby, “Can’t you see we’re having a baby?!* We are cleaning up the dishes from our soup and having a baby!!!”

* Granted, this one is easier as time goes on, because I can just keep my wife around as a sort of increasingly larger and larger, physical asterisk. Sort of handy.
