Hierarchy

So, "our song" is Ray LaMontagne's "You Are the Best Thing." Consequently, it's something we say to each other sometimes when we're being schmoopy. However, I feel a little weird saying it, because I have so many other wonderful people in my life that I met long before I met him. So sometimes I qualify it, e.g. "You're the best thing that's ever happened to me, behind my parents." This is an exchange we had the other day:

Me: "Sweebs, you're the best thing that's ever happened to me, except for maybe Thing 1 & Thing 2."
Him: "Hmm, I'm going to be out of the running altogether once we have our own kids, aren't I?"
Me: "It's quite likely. Sorry, kiddo."
