Last night, I got a great idea as I was driving home from work…
“My wife really enjoys going to the movies…Iron Man 2 has been out for a little while…Hey, today is Thursday so the tickets will be cheap!…I’m going to surprise her when I get home!”
As soon as I walked in the door, she asked me if I was hungry. (Is the Pope Catholic?)
She made some great thing with chicken, peppers and onions! Yum!
As soon as I finished, I asked, “Do you want to go see Iron Man 2?” (Is the Pope Catholic?)
“SURE! Wow!”
“Well, it’s been out for a few weeks hasn’t it? If we wait too long, we might miss it?”
So, off we went.
When we got home, as I was making my “go to bed” drink, she came into the kitchen with a sheepish look on her face…
“I have something to confess…I didn’t lie about this…because it never came up…”
“What is it?”
“I didn’t lie about this…it just didn’t come up…”
I thought, “What is this going to be?” I was mentally preparing so that I would be able to under-react (as opposed to overreacting) when she finally confessed.
“What is it?”
“I saw the movie this afternoon with Cakes.”
“What? Why didn’t you tell me? You acted like you were all excited about it.”
“I was. You came home and were so excited about going to the movies. You never want to go to the movies.”
My wife is two timing me! While I am out working hard to make some money to give her as good a life as I am able, she is going to the movies with someone else! Admittedly, that other person is our daughter, but still!
