“I have the best husband in the world.”
I see this status on Facebook at least once a day. When I do and it wasn’t posted by my wife I am tempted to reply “I’m not married to you!” I never do this because Facebook hasn’t yet provided us with sarcasm font and I don’t want to upset anyone unnecessarily (unless there are Krispy Kreme donuts involved).
Because I see this so often, I propose a competition to determine who really is the best husband in the world. But it’s not just any competition–it’s a one event competition
What event? One I am sure to win, of course.
Thumb wrestling.
Why am I so confident that I wouldn’t get beat? Have you ever seen my thumb?
Here it is:
Boo-Yah!
That, ladies and gentlemen, is an unbeaten thumb.
If that decided it, I would be the undisputed best husband in the world!
But that doesn’t decide it.
And I don’t have to be the best husband in the world.
Instead, I have to strive to be the best husband for my wife.
More than that, I want to be the best husband for my wife.
If you’re married, I hope you want to be the best husband or wife for your spouse.
And I hope you’re ready to thumb wrestle next time I see you.
What is your go-to, can’t lose event?

I can do dishes, do laundry, fold clothes, sweep floors, clean bathrooms than all you guys. I lose in the cooking. I’m the best Mrs. Doubtfire there is.
Helloooooo!
oops should say “better than all you guys”
Checkers
There aren’t enough “Ha”‘s for that one.
Bill wins…just sayin… He knows what his wife needs…
My husband understands, too. So he wins for me. Nuthin says lovin like helping with the housework.
That seems to be to consensus among women 🙂
My go to move is holding my breath until I pass out. No one seems as committed to it as I am so I win every time. I kid, I kid. Great post. Do you allow for other fingers to tag in during thumb wrestling? A kid pulled that on me once and I took him down to Chinatown for that nonsense.
No way. That’s lame and will cause me to break my opponent’s hand with my gargantuan thumb.

I dare anyone challenge me in a spelling bee… I was county champion twice and went to the state competition 3 times.
Thumb wrestling matches are no fun though unless someone runs in with a chair…
No holds barred thumb wrasslin’. I like it!
Slap Jack. I will crush you.
Sounds like a challenge!

I just dealt you a hand right now. I won.
I haven’t responded because I have been busy hanging my head in shame.
