I suppose I try to balance that feeling with my constant quest to be as annoying as possible around you. I truly don&#8217;t know why I like to embarrass you in front of strangers, or why I always have the urge to smack things out of your hands, or why I walk slightly behind you and move from side to side when you turn to talk to me. <\/p>\n<p>You bring out the idiot in me \u2014 the one I keep hidden from people I&#8217;m trying to impress. The one who seeps through my seams anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes I think you are the only man in the world who will ever love that idiot.  <\/p>\n<p>Happy birthday, both of you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amber, making you laugh is my favorite thing in the world.
