This is why I'm married to my wife and not somebody else

At the end of A Bug’s Life, when they’re clear-cutting stalks of grain like there’s no tomorrow, I couldn’t help but think that they’re going to extinct themselves, Easter Island style. And then, like a lunatic who has obviously watched this movie far, far too many times, I thought, “Nah. That Flick is a smart guy. They must have a good environmental policy.”

But the best part is when I mentioned this to my lovely and talented wife: she laughed and said she actually thought the same thing. Which is crazy. But at least we’re crazy together.

We have the same reactions to things (although, admittedly, mine are more dramatic). May I wish you many more crazy years together.
