Who taught: Calvi

my better half (source: http://shirtoid.com/)

Yesterday, my friend, Calvi updated his facebook status, saying “According to my better half, baby jeans are the cutest thing on the planet.” As I saw and read it, I kind of paused for a while to think about the expression and spoke to myself, “Huh.. I know that expression, my better half. But, it is a great expression. I mean, it is really really awesome. What a great way to say about your girl friend or boy friend.”

Of course, if you are married, that would be either your wife or your husband.

Speaking of this expression, let’s have a poll here. What do you use to call your spouse or boy friend/girl friend?

1. Honey

2. Babe

3. Darling

4. Just name

Jessy and I have been mostly calling each other honey. Even when Jessy gives me a call, my phone says I got a call from honey. Is it weird? If so, I will take it as you being jealous. 🙂

I have a thought. What if we call each other, “my better half,” all the time? And, what if we also think my spouse is really my better half all the time? We would behave differently? We would respect more and also feel like I am not complete without her/him because I am the only half of one complete entity. Don’t you agree?

I mean, I knew this expression before but have never really used it at all. You know what! I think I am going to use this a lot more from now on. Would you join me, at least, today? Let’s send an email to our spouse, saying, “Hey! My better half! I love you so much!”

By the way, do you also think baby jeans are the cutest thing on the planet??

P.S: Thank you, Calvi, for reminding me of the expression and how important and better my half is!
