Got the honeydew list.

Got one son to come along and make sure I get everything in the
grocery store that's on the honeydew list.

Next day at work, I get an IM:

"Was the grocery store out of waffles?"

"No, waffles were not on the list."

"Um yeah, they most certainly were."

"I'm am absolutely, 100% certain that they were not. How often
do I ever claim to be 100% certain of anything?"

"Where is the list?"

"I threw it away."

(1/2 hour passes while I surf RSFC and don't work)

Another IM pop-up:

"I've looked through the trash inside and outside the house, and
no list."

"Um, that's probably because I threw it away at the Chinese
restaurant where we stopped off to get some dinner that night."

<wife has logged off>

Next day, she asks me why I bought more eggs when we had bought
eggs the last time we were at the store. I replied that it was
because it was on the list. I said I knew we had just bought
eggs, but I figured you must have put them on there for a
reason, so I bought more. (who knows... maybe she's baking me a
really huge low-carb birthday cake two weeks late).

"Uh, the list said EggOs not EggS."

So tonight, I made sure to get Eggos. They are in the outside
trash can for some reason.

I should write a book about comminication in marriage.



At least she didn't drive to the Chinese Restaurant to throw them
away.
