More of that beautiful light, nice catch Morris.

Ain't that typical, stuck waiting for the missus to finish dolling up... and here we thought it was just a human thing. And in case my wife is reading this, it is always worth the wait sweetheart!

Well done, Morris! That's a funny sequence -- or at least your interpretation made it so.
In the second shot, I suspect that the male is simply waiting for his wife to make up her mind on where she wants to fly. Even though she said she didn't care, he knows better! (Many, many years of first hand experience on my part.)

Thank you Greg,

My wife used to ask me what I want for dinner and give me three choices. Then I'd make a choice and and sometimes she would say try again. When that happened two times on the same evening, I asked her why she was asking me as she had made up her mind.
