The Results Are In

Well, we just got the report from the lab, and what we suspected is true: Linds and I have tested positive for cuteness.

We suspected it all along really--the way we laugh naughtily during church meetings and the abnormally large amount of walks we take together were a couple of the first warning signs.

For a while we just shrugged it off, thinking, "I'm sure this is normal for all couples in love." But over time, the symptoms just got more severe. We started going on bike rides together and stayed up late night after night watching BBC mystery shows and popping popcorn. Friends and family started to drop hints, saying things like "you're going to be such good parents," or "you guys are so much fun to be around."

So we knew we should just get tested. Get it over with so we could know what to do about it. And you know what? I'm glad we did. It's good to put a name to what we're feeling all the time. "A textbook case of case of chronic cuteness and undying charm," the doctor called it.

Of course our next question was what to do about it. How to treat it. But the doctor said there was little we could do. "Just drink plenty of clear fluids and let it run it's course," he said. "It takes a lot of people a lot of years to get over a case like yours." Then he leaned in closely and whispered, "but I have a gut feeling you guys may never shake it."

If you suspect that you or someone you know may be suffering from cuteness, please urge them to get tested. Since we are familiar with the condition, Linds and I would welcome you telling us about any of the symptoms you may be feeling. We'll let you know how possible it is that it's due to cuteness.
