Ladies First
Paul has started holding the door open for me when I’m entering or exiting a building. He leans his body against the door and motions forward with his arm. Then he says in his cute little voice, “Ladies first.” He draws out the word “ladies” (lay-tees). I don’t know where Paul got the idea. Not from his father; that kind of stuff only happened when we were dating.
Since Adam thrives on stirring the pot he once told Paul that the reason ladies go first is that they are weak. Paul is no dummy and knew right away that he shouldn’t believe daddy. Especially when daddy spoke those words right in front of mommy and Megan! I explained to Paul that women are treasures. A treasure is something that you value and care for. I don’t know Paul’s motivation for holding the door open but I think it is cute. I will enjoy his display of chivalry for however long it lasts.

I love when men (especially my husband) open the door for me, too. It’s a little, polite gesture, but I always appreciate it!

Aww. I’m lucky to have a boyfriend who is such a gentleman.

Too bad your future father-in-law is such a jerk! Muhahahaha. Paul can’t date for like 10 more years… I am thinking you’ll be long married by then.
