Tact My wife always prided herself on her figure, but after giving birth to our second child, she began to worry about her weight. One day she confessed she was concerned that I would want someone thinner. Doing my husbandly duty, I began to comfort her. "Honey," I said, "I love you for who you are. To be honest, I didn't even notice you'd gained weight." She smiled, and I should have quit right there, because what I said next was, "In fact, you are the sexiest woman I ever laid lies on."
