I just wanted to wish my Muffin a very happy Father’s Day… so, Happy Father’s Day, Muffin!

In honor of this special day, I thought I would list five LITTLE KNOWN FACTS about the Muffin.  Here you go:

1.  Muffin’s favorite sandwich is cheese and jam.  When Muffin was in grad school, once a week his class would have sort of a lunch potluck where one person was responsible for bringing a main dish for the class.  On Muffin’s appointed day, he brought cheese and jam sandwiches.  Out of the entire class, I believe there was only one taker.

2.  Muffin is afraid of horses.  I myself like horses and used to ride as a kid, so when we were on our honeymoon and one of the fun activities we could partake in was a horseback ride on the beach, I was pumped.  And then Muffin was all, “Horses?  I would never EVER ride a horse.  They’re the only animal dumb enough to run into a burning barn because that’s where their food is.  NO WAY!”  I wondered in that moment how we had gone through our courtship without me ever knowing that Muffin hates horses.  WHO IS THIS MAN I MARRIED?

3.  Muffin is not much for dancing, but he can bust a move here and there.  One of his favorites is one I taught him, this one right here (the “move” can be seen at about 2:54, if you are CRAZY and don’t want to watch the whole thing).

4.  Muffin, like all men, hangs onto his boxer briefs for WAY TOO LONG.  The other day I was folding laundry and the underwear I was folding had a hole so gaping that my entire fist went right through it.  I tossed them aside to be thrown away when I was done folding the rest, and Muffin picked them up, flashed me a look of horror, and said, “These underwear are still good!”

5.  Muffin is the world’s best dad, from playing cars, AGAIN, with Michael to dressing Jenna, albeit in mismatched clothes and without understanding how tights work.  Today I watched as he held Jenna sweetly in his lap while doing flashcards with Michael, and I realized that my life is perfect and I could never wish for more.  Thank you, my love.

Still not going to eat a cheese and jam sandwich, though.
