When I was young-er I dreamed of meeting “the one”. I met lots of guys some I thought had potential oneness, some I knew did not, (sorry Mr Fireman I used you for your body, there I said it) but after being married now for six years it was only last week I realised how much ‘the one’ my husband really was. It was a typical day in our romantic hothouse; the boys were asleep, I was on twitter and my hubby (Boom) was watching FoxSports.
As you've probably guessed I am a big fan of many of the sports channels on cable, I especially like the one that shows Ultimate Fight something or other. Those scantily-clad guys rolling around in a cage, kicking and punching each other, well the only thing that beats that for me is when a rugby league player 'accidentally' puts his hand into another man's butt area.
Ok so I'm not being totally honest, in fact I can't contain the truth any longer...
I especially lose my nut, so to speak, when sportsmen behave like vacuous neanderthals. But then a program with the word 'Science" in the title came on and I was forced to reconsider. What I saw made me look up from an intriguing and intelligent twitter exchange I was having with someone witty and engaging, probably slightly famous and I found I couldn't look away. Boom who is normally in a trance state when sport is on, moved... and then he made a sound...and then he looked at me and smiled.
Me: *chortles*
B: "No seriously, you don't understand, the amount of times I could've used that on the pitch."
M: *snorts*
B: "Look at that! I can't believe it, I wish I had that on the day Brett Lee was bowling"
M: "Didn't he hit you in the sternum?"
B: "Well that's not the point, imagine the confidence you'd have"
M: "Yeah you could stand there bat flailing about as you did pelvic thrusts at him, goading him as such"
B: "If you'd ever been hit in the balls, let alone by a cricket ball at 120km/h then you would get this"
M: "Go on Brett, hit me, hit me in the nuts"
B: "Shut up, I need to see this"
M: "C'mon Bretty give me all you got, I'll take ya. Booyah! see boys of steel baby"
B: (reanimation reversal seems to have started) *grunts*
M: (as an attempt to re-engage) "Gives new meaning to shining the ball though doesn't it..."
B: "Look at that! wow"
At this point I do look and think 'Wow', but not at the NuttyBuddy on TV, at my nutty buddy and I marvel that we found each other and somehow despite our differences, that are vast and numerous, we ended up together. And if our deeply romantic and passionate love ever fails, we'll always have the NuttyBuddy to bring us back together. It seems it really is "protecting the boys".

I don't know whether it was my husband's re-animation or the target placement which shocked me more, but the NuttyBuddy had us both mesmerised. In fact Boom was noticeably excited, being an ex-cricketer and he started speaking:
Boom: "that's amazing" Me: *chortles*
B: "No seriously, you don't understand, the amount of times I could've used that on the pitch."
M: *snorts*
