My Wisdom for Today

To my husband: When you buy your wife a (small) bar of chocolate for your wedding anniversary, she will end up spending $200 at Target the very next day. So the budgeting doesn't really work out in your favor.

To the random guy at Target: If a toddler has 20 flowers and 12 butterflies on her clothing, she is a girl, despite all evidence (a lack of long hair and a husky voice) to the contrary.

You're welcome.

  • Random man needs to get a clue. You've clearly given him enough to work with, if he'll just notice.

  • Men! (That's really all I have to say right now. I'm annoyed with mine right now, too! :)

  • I just searched my "Marriage for Dummies (Husbands)" book, and just as I suspected, any and all passages that mention chocolate and anniversary presents together were missing from mine as well.

    My wife will be glad to know that I'm now enlightened. :-)

  • It wasn't a revengeful thing, I swear. It just kind of ... happened!

  • Kind of like, when you ask your husband what day it is (on your 20th anniversary), the answer shouldn't be Tuesday.
    And when my oldest was a baby, with a pink hat and diaper cover, the older gentleman whom I saw every day when I walked said, "So, you had the baby." "Yes," I replied. "So, you had the baby" "Uh huh." "What's the baby's name?" "Sarah" "Oh, Sarah----a little boy?"

  • You're just funny,Kris! This post made me laugh!!

    I can top the one about not knowing that Ava was a girl. Are you ready????

    When my best friend,Liane had her twins 7 years ago,she was always asked if they were identical. She would answer,"No..one is a boy and one is a girl." Many people still continued to ask the same question over and over because that answer didn't tell them anything. I finally said,"Just tell them straight out...NO...they're not identical....One has a penis and the other has a vagina!!!" Of course I can imagine someone confusing vagina with the state they live in and saying,"Yes,I know they're from Virginia but are they identical??"
    OY....people!!!!!
