I was always a little suspicious when someone said there were only 5 love languages. After some years of gathering, here are some additions that I have found with my wife and family:
- writing/singing jolly love songs by the water with s’mores
- texting rude or risque memes
- sitting on them
- farting in the other room (not while sitting on them)
- youthful deep-esophageal belching
- saying anything in a British accent
- peppering them with questions, frequently yes/no questions
- telling a person to drive safely, wear your seat belt, keep your shoes on, and call me when you get there
- making chicken sounds
- hurting, pinching, pummeling, biting, tickling
- telling them they are a dork, etc.
- playing footsie under the covers (a form of sign language)
- enduring the agony of listening to them describe a dream
- eating food for them (food that they want but know they shouldn’t eat)
- watching (another) sci-fi series with them on Netflix
- not saying a damn thing for a while
You love me well in many ways. ♥️
And of course, the last one is the greatest love of all…
