You know you're not newlyweds when...

This conversation began at our 25th anniversary meal when Bob and I were talking together and I told him about the bout with diahrea I had that morning. Jezra began the "you know you're not newlyweds" by saying "...when you talk about diahrea at your anniversary meal."

Here's the ones we can remember and some I'm making up on the spot:
You know you're not newlyweds when...

• Your idea of romance is reading a book in bed together.
• You celebrate your anniversary with your teenagers.
• The wife says, "Let's go to bed early," winking to the husband and he says, "I think I'll stay up and watch TV." (This would probably never happen to us!)
• You go on a walk together for a romantic conversation and when you get home your wife says, "That was worth it! We got to talk to the neighbors for the first time." (This really happened soon after we moved to the place we live now. It's a running joke between us whenever we are on a walk and we talk with someone else.)
• You spend your time together talking about the kids, the mortgage, and your jobs.
• Sweet nothings really are nothing.
• The fire between you is the candle you lit at the table.
• You begin to kiss each other on the couch and the kids tell you to "get a room." (We always answer, "You get a room; this is our house!")
• Your teenager says that he would like to have a marriage as good as yours. (This really happened.)
• People tell you that you act like newlyweds!
