I happened to mention to my husband the other day that while I was down in San Diego last weekend, our son was teasing his mother-in-law.
Now, by that I took for granted that he knew I meant a good-natured teasing, and he did; any other type is simply not in any of us.
And my husband’s response? He took it as a sign of closeness between them, answering me simply, “You don’t tease people you’re afraid of or that you’re not comfortable around.”
I’d never thought of it quite in those words, but yes, exactly!
