Loving: Merging in Traffic

I have successfully gone 1 month without smoking.  My brain still isn't fully functioning and  my husband and I are still fussing like cats and dogs.  But somehow we are keeping our sense of humor and we're getting by.  Tonight we went out to dinner at Olive Garden.  The meal lifted my spirits to the point that I was in pure, simpled out giddiness.   On the way home, the following occurred, and it still makes me laugh just thinking about it.

As my husband was accelerating down the access road he said, 
"Quick, tell me if I'm clear!"  
I spun around in my seat, saw that no one was in the merging lane on the highway  
for at least a mile and said, "YOU'VE GOT THIS!" with entirely too much enthusiasm.  
My husband began to stammer, as he was merging into the lane, "Buh...Wha....Uhhh...WHAT?  You've GOT this????  What does that MEAN?!?!?! SERIOUSLY!  WHAT DOES THAT MEAN???"  
I was laughing so hard I couldn't even speak. We did eventually make it on the highway.
  
A few minutes later we exited and, as we pulled up to a stoplight, my husband looked at me sternly (because I was still giggling) and said, 
"'You've got this'...REALLY???

I'd love to say this is was an isolated incident, but alas, I've been like this far too much lately.

 PS.  Shortly after saying "YOU'VE GOT THIS", I may or may not have hollared out "Leee-royyyy Jeehn-kins" before bursting into laughter.

PPS.  Only gamers and their significant others will understand the true awesomeness of that last statement.
