“Say Something Uplifting”

For those of you who have never met our founding editor, let’s just say it’s a miracle he ever got married.

All of you who know him are nodding your heads right about now, but a good way of describing “Sic Willie” to those of you who don’t is that he’s a four-year-old trapped in a thirty-four-year-old’s body, someone with an incessant need for affirmation and attention.

Other words to describe him? Mercurial, manipulative and megalomaniacal … and that’s just using words that start with “M” people. We were going to start with the letter “A” but then we remembered this is a family website. Sort of.

Fortunately (for all of us) we have Mrs. Sic – who doesn’t take any of her husband’s crap and somehow manages to keep him in line, which is not only amazing but makes life around the office infinitely more tolerable.

Case in point is this recent exchange that took place when Sic evidently told his wife that she wasn’t providing him with enough positive reinforcement.

SIC: “You need to say something uplifting to me today.”

MRS. SIC: “Are you serious? I told you to get your ass out of bed this morning and you did. That was uplifting. Then I told you to get your ass off the couch this afternoon, and you did. That was uplifting, too.”

SIC: (Silence)

Yeah … is there any doubt who wears the pants in this relationship?

Mrs. Sic has also famously told people that she’s not afraid of her husband tossing her into furniture (per SC political legend) because she can “take him.”

Now that is hot. Not to mention true.

Seriously, can somebody nominate this lady for the Order of the Palmetto?
