Payaso Gordo

Sunday afternoon my wife woke up in bad mood... for no apparent reason.

She does that sometimes, and for whatever reason it's usually on a Sunday.

I on the other hand woke up in a great mood... also for no apparent reason.

As she sat in bed watching TV I decided to try and make her laugh, or at least give me a smile... I tried making dumb faces, telling dumb jokes, and just generally acting like an ass in the name of getting some kind of reaction out of her... Mainly I think I was just really annoying her. But I don't quit that easy.

I decided to break out my secret weapon... An impromptu strip tease... Nobody can resist laughing at a fat guy doing a strip tease, right? When I finally got down to my boxers (still no reaction) I jumped up on the bed and did my best imitation of the "River Dance"...

That finally got a reaction... She threw a pillow at my head and screamed, "Eres un payaso gordo!"

Translation: "You're a fat clown."

Normally something like that would bother me, but seeing as I was jumping up and down on the bed in boxers, I had no choice but to agree with her assessment.

And then I saw it... on the corner of her lips... a grin beginning to form... I increased the velocity of my jumping- "Payaso gordo, payaso gordo, payaso gordo!" I mockingly yelled.

And with that she finally broke into laughter... Mission accomplished.

I may be a fat clown, but I got her bad mood to go away. It was a good Sunday.

What a good husband!

G's had his own version of payaso gordo. It usually involves some geeky dance moves and a funny voice. Works everytime.
