I have been married to Alan for 25 years. We have been in a relationship for 28 years and I have known him since I was 8 or 9 years old. So, you would think in that amount of time, he would know certain things about me. Along the way, he must have missed a couple of things.
Alan and Bethany graciously went to the store for me last night. I needed to make a pie and wanted to get started on that right after evening church, so they were willing to make the trip to the store so I wouldn't have to. I gave them a list and on that list was a birthday card. Today is a friend's birthday and I wanted to get her a card. No big deal. I just needed a card for a friend. No worries. I had total faith in the team that I had sent to do the job.
After they got home and unloaded the groceries, Alan instructed Bethany to show me the card they had gotten for me. They were both smiling. Okay, no problem. They got a funny card. I am funny. I like funny cards.
Bethany showed me the front and it was talking about animals or something. Okay, it was cute. She opens it up and inside the card, they are talking about poop. What???? They got me a card that had the word "poop" in it and then to top it off, there was a picture of poop with flies flying around it. I looked at Alan and asked him what in my life made him think that I would be able to give a card about "poop" to anyone. He smiled again and said he thought I would think it was funny. Really?? Are you sure you were thinking of me, the one you have known for most of your life?? Hmmm....
I guess we still have some things to find out about each other. No worries, though. My sister came to the rescue and I traded her my "poop" card for a nice friend card. My nephew will LOVE giving that to one of his friends:-)

I got a card like that from someone once. It was about a sheet cake. But it wasn't sheet cake, but something gross. What are men thinking sometimes.
All this reminds me of a certain tall, blond young man who is obsessed with "noises" and bodily functions. You might think his parents would have taught him better. Well, we tried.
I'm glad your sister came to the rescue. She's a keeper.
Martha, who in the world could you mean?? ;-)
Heather,
I LOL when I read this post! I can just see your face asking Alan if he really thought you'd give a poop card to someone!!
It's nice to know there are still mysteries to solve about one another even after 28 years.
Oh, and tell Alan I appreciate his input about the people, I think so too =)
Love,
Tina
I don't know whether to be comforted by your husband's choice of cards or distressed...
Martha, I find it distressing myself;-)
