J is for Jest
My theme for this year’s Blogging from A to Z April Challenge is Marriage from A to Z in 55 Words. J is for Jest in Marriage!
He succeeded in pissing her off again!
He had this uncanny habit of mocking and laughing at the sermons she gave him.
And that made her scream with anger.
Why don’t you ever take me seriously’, she asked through gritted teeth.
‘Because, you look so damn hot when you’re mad’, he said with a wink.

This is a new angle to marriage besides many others… Sometimes It is good not to get serious :-).

Hmm.. jest – nice one … Can feel the tension in your post, but turns out well..:-) Nicely told tale, Shilpa:-)

Such a sweet take, Love it, actually it happens with me.
I am a short tempered person, like the other day I was waiting eagerly for package which was to be delivered a week ago, and he came in and said the package is here but its not the dress which you ordered for !
I started grumbling … then shouted at him for coming late from office etc….
He just smiles and removes the dress from his laptop bag ans saya TAA daaa !
So its true WE do ANNOY each other !

Jest – I didn’t expect this.. I was expecting Jealous, Joy likewise.. Nice one!!! Loved it!!

I am the annoying one in our marriage and he lets me do the nagging 🙂 Adore this post, Shilpa.
April 11, 2014 1:21 am|
Haah !! Somebody to annoy for the rest of the life 😉 That was such a cute take
April 11, 2014 1:56 am|
Very true and I go through this almost everyday!!! I would go nuts many a times when he doesn’t take me seriously 😛 😛

Jest helps to relieve tension with some people. With others, it could backfire. It also depends on how seriously or otherwise each person treats the issue of the moment.

Lovely post! Jesting is a great add on to any marriage! Lol and I can relate with the husband totally! 😉
April 11, 2014 8:24 am|
Humor definitely is the spice of life 🙂 Good one ….
April 11, 2014 8:32 am|
I guess, there is no point in getting serious.

Nice post. Happens in every day life.

With every alphabet your posts are also becoming more and more interesting. In Marital life there are so many ups and downs, which you are demonstrating perfectly.
April 11, 2014 9:22 am|
hehehehe.. that’s how most men think dont they? and it gets rather infuriating when they say something like that when you are in the worst of your tempers sometimes 😛
April 11, 2014 9:22 am|
Ha ,Yes some of them do .
April 11, 2014 9:27 am|
Men! My husband does the exact same thing. He likes to see me when I am mad. It drives me insane. Great post! ♥
April 11, 2014 9:30 am|
Hahaha that is sweet. My husband is like that. Gets my temper sky high n then make fun of me 😛
April 11, 2014 9:38 am|
Mostly the wives only nag the husbands.
When I get really bugged by his indifference, and say I am leaving him forever, this is way he reacts mostly:” when darling? Should I book you a bus tkt/ train tkt./( no mention plane tkt.), please hurry up and tell me the date, or do you plan to jog to parent’s place “( having a dig at me for being into fitness).
I can’t help laughing.
I love this quote by Rita Rudner:”I love being married. It’s so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.”
Nice take on the subject of marriage.

OH my god! Did you eavesdrop on my conversation with the spouse yesterday? 😉 This is so EXACTLY him 😀 And no wonder he features in my post today 😉
Great 55-er as always
April 11, 2014 10:10 am|
Truths are often best conveyed by jest! Nice post!
April 11, 2014 10:28 am|
I love that quote about annoying that one special person! I so live by it 😉 But seriously, it is indeed very important to keep things light and funny whenever the pressure begins to build up beyond a certain point. Humor can bring such a new light on things that a minute ago seemed so stressful.
Very nice post, Shilpa
April 11, 2014 1:19 pm|
haha…I always get annoyed when he teases me…but yes these make things fun in a marriage I guess…
April 11, 2014 2:08 pm|
Hahaha.That was a good twist he gave to mollify her anger!!
April 11, 2014 2:27 pm|
Typical husband thing 😛
April 11, 2014 5:04 pm|
love such situations, helps the bonding grow, nice take on J, shilpa.
April 11, 2014 5:39 pm|
how true! There are too many serious things to worry about in life. Having a little fun in marriage just makes it easier 🙂
April 11, 2014 6:27 pm|
ah that was super cute….my parents are like that too…my mom will seriously sermonise and keep admonishing dad for not paying attention to what she says….and dad will say something that will make her burst out laughing!!!
April 11, 2014 6:50 pm|
Now this is real – I tell you! 🙂
April 11, 2014 9:04 pm|
This hot thing doesn’t always work. But men have such an easy way of getting out, right? How much we love compliments!!
April 11, 2014 9:24 pm|
Maybe this jest is being used as a last straw who knows…..:)
a real situation portrayed well
April 11, 2014 10:17 pm|
Lovely, Shilpa ji 🙂 That was a justified argument 😀 We love being admired this way, don’t we !! 😛
April 11, 2014 10:19 pm|
I thought it would be jealousy today. This was way more fun and so true too.
April 11, 2014 10:42 pm|
That was amazing…
April 11, 2014 10:57 pm|
What a great theme for your series. Being able to joke and tease is essential. I absolutely cannot imagine being stuck forever with someone humorless. That my hubby and I find the same sorts of things funny is such a help when times are hard.
April 11, 2014 11:44 pm|
Very cute n so true Shilpa. What cant be solved with much talk can be washed away with laughter.
April 12, 2014 12:57 am|
haha!! Sometimes, it works to relieve the tension, but sometimes it adds to it! 😉
April 12, 2014 1:26 am|
Oh yes Shilpa, marriage like everything else in life needs a pinch of jest. Loved the quote about having one special person to annoy always 🙂
April 12, 2014 1:46 am|
Hehe…this totally fits my life too!! Great 55er!
April 12, 2014 5:33 pm|
Nice one Shilpa. But sometimes too much jest is also not a good thing.
April 13, 2014 10:31 pm|
Yes, you can diffuse many a serious situation with humour. 🙂 Well done!
April 14, 2014 11:21 am|
Aww.. that was cruel no? 🙁
jest shouldn’t hurt.. I’m guessing this hurt her quite a bit..
April 14, 2014 11:05 pm|
Hehe! This is cool. Also I loved the quote below! :))
April 15, 2014 7:21 pm|
I am .perhaps more experienced than most of you.
Trust me,that is best time,hour,minute to wink and flirt with her
April 22, 2014 3:40 pm|
Laughter, fun and teasing is so crucial…without laughter in a relationship, I sometimes think there is no point… 🙂

Men will be men. 🙂
