My husband is so uncouth! I can do nothing to improve him! Every time he finishes eating
his southern fried chicken he lets a big burp out of his mouth. He says his mother always allowed it.
He even likes to leave the froth on his lips from his Pepsi just to bother me. He often looks like a sloth
when he walks out the door with his shirt untucked and his mismatched leather shoes on. I love him
even though I’d rather not take him out in public! Although some ladies look for a smooth man, I
would never choose another. Sloth or not I am thankful for the man I married.
