Alex: Man, this is hard….When you’re married there is always this other person there to point out your mistakes. And they know you so well that nothing slips by them. Evvvvverytime you mess up….oh, there they are, like “hey, you’re doing it wrong….you need to change….what’s wrong with you?” Just….always.

Alexa: Yup. You can’t hide. And you know what? We’ve only been together for five years and we’re at this level. I mean, we sound like we’ve been married for decades. What the heck are we going to sound like when we’re old?

Alex: I don’t know…

Alexa: I think there will be a lot more silence, actually. I mean, what is left to talk about after a few decades?

Alex: The kids.

Alexa: Obviously, the kids. But, other than that….

Alex: Other than that there’s probably a whole lot of “Please stop! I’ve heard that story 900 times already!”

Alexa: Really. By the way….can you hurry up? What are you doing with that stroller?! Get it up the stairs already!
