Witness this recent conversation with my husband:

Me: I think that when I am very old, I'll be one of those weird dog ladies with about 12 mutts underfoot at all times.

Him: Oh, no you won't.

Me: Well then, you'd better outlive me.
I bet that if I say the "12 mutts" statement to my husband (and that is how I feel as well), he will say exactly what your husband said. Then I get to say your line. I'll let you know!
