A complete dichotomy of thought

Too tired to look up "dichotomy" to make sure that I spelled and used it correctly.

Went to my cousin's wedding tonight. Fun, but tiring. Very non-traditional in a number of ways, and will write up a little about some of the neat things they did at some point, but just wanted to share the following bit.

As much as my wife and I are completely in tune with each other's thoughts sometimes, there are those others... At one point during the pre-ceremony family picture rigamarole, with trying to herd cats, er, relatives together, and wait for someone else, and greet the people coming in, and ... and ... and ... etc.

I looked deep into my wife's loving eyes, and the thought flashes through my mind, "Boy, am I glad we already did all of this!"

We smile contentedly at each other, and as I open my mouth to share this thought, she looks around, then looks back up to me and says, wistfully, "Can we do this again?"

Ah, the old married couple trick of having the exact same thought, only one is reversed. I know it well.

No! You got it wrong AGAIN!! In this instance, we WOULDN'T be having opposite thoughts! We'd be thinking the SAME THING!!

Aauugghh, can't you get ANYTHING right??
