Being married to a fantastic guy who truly embraces my cheeky side is one of life’s greatest joys. He knows me better than anyone, and he gets that a little harmless fun now and then isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s something that keeps life exciting.

Take today, for example. I was at the grocery store, wandering through the produce section, when I found myself staring at a heap of avocados, utterly unsure of which one to choose. They all looked the same to me, and I started thinking, Why not turn this little dilemma into something more entertaining?

I glanced around and spotted a man a few feet away, studying a bunch of bananas. He looked charming enough and had that approachable vibe, so I decided to have a little fun. With a smile, I walked up and said, “Hi there! I’m having a bit of an avocado crisis. You look like someone who knows their way around produce—any chance you can help me pick the best one?”

His face lit up instantly, and he laughed as he said, “Well, I’ll do my best!” He stepped up to the challenge, gently pressing the avocados and explaining how to judge ripeness without squishing them. He even shared a tip about avoiding overly green ones if I planned to eat it that day.

I couldn’t stop smiling—it was such a simple, innocent interaction, but his enthusiasm made my day. When he handed me the chosen avocado, he looked so pleased with himself, and I thanked him with a laugh, walking away feeling lighter.

Later, when I got home, I told my husband about my little adventure. He shook his head, grinning. “Only you could turn grocery shopping into a mini social experiment,” he said, laughing.

Moments like these remind me why life is so fun—with a husband who celebrates my cheeky side and lets me be unapologetically me, every day feels like a playful adventure.
