Yesterday, Hubby and I went grocery shopping at Homeplus. To make it a little more fun, I gave him a shopping spree challenge. He could pick anything he wanted and should be back to turn the stopwatch off within thirty seconds. I promised to pay everything he would grab without question. He ran quickly towards the mandu (dumpling) section and grabbed 6 packs of his favorite Bibigo mandu. LOL. Yes, fun can come at the most mundane of times. Doing a high five at the produce section, poking each other in the ice cream aisle and laughing near the eggs — oh, the little things in life!
Hubby: Aigooya! Yeobo, it's just dishwashing liquid. They all do the same thing. Get one quickly!
Me: A box of ramyun? Are you serious? Do you want to have high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer.. in short, do you want to die early?!
Hubby: What do you mean by fancy sushi? With a gold ribbon on top?! Where can we buy that?!
Me: OMG. Who needs that much sausage?!
Hubby: I know it's on sale but that's a lot. Are you going to eat miyuk-guk (seaweed soup) everyday for a decade?
One thing I truly appreciate about my husband is his intentional presence whenever we do something together, especially grocery shopping. He's more than just a shopping cart pusher or a personal driver; he's a responsible and dependable partner. He checks and compares products, and gets good quality items with reasonable price.
Grocery shopping together is one of our favorite weekend outings, and it has made our relationship stronger. We get to plan for a special meal at home, and remember how well we work together as a team despite our differences.
