Maybe 3 months into the dating period with my wife, by which time things were getting serious, I was off from work one day and I thought it would be a good time to put together a killer mix tape that would help her know just how I felt! When we got together that night I slyly inserted said tape and pushed PLAY. Within 2 or 3 songs <strong>Lou Reed&#8217;s &#8220;My House&#8221;<\/strong> came on and, taking no prisoners, my wife made a face reserved for a plate of liver or a fart cut in a small space and said, &#8220;What the fuck is this?!?!&#8221; It was the beginning of the end of my attempts at wooing my future wife through mix tapes is what it was.
