Stand by your man (or woman).

On Monday, my friend, Cindy Beall, wrote a great post on “Sweet Talk”.  It was a mighty nice reminder to say sweet things about my husband when his name comes up around others – and certainly around him.  Probably nothing emasculates him more than when I take cheap shots .  And, sometimes we do it as a joke at their expense.  You know what I’m talkin’ about. 

However, repeating “Taklisms” are allowed and even embraced.  I’ll fill you in on Taklisms on another day.  And, if I forget, remind me.

I’ve been around girls who rip their husbands up and down and to and fro.  They make me feel like either I’m married to a saint or their husband is Darth’s cousin twice-removed.  I’m sure neither is true.  But boy do our words pierce hearts.

I don’t get this right all of the time.  I sometimes slip.

But, I try to represent.  (That’s Puff Daddy or P Diddy or Mac Daddy or whatever talk for bringing the best out, giving respect to, or standing up for.)

Do you represent?
