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!!!!!
