Liked the post. I can definitely see melanie cracking up over leaving all you stuff.
Sharp Dressed Man
The Wife and I are moving…again…for the 3rd time in 3 years. But it gets better. You see, we still don’t know where we are moving to. So we have moved all of our stuff into her parents’ garage and are staying at her brothers’ house until we find out (long story…don’t ask).
So the consequence of this is that we had to decide what we needed to take to her brothers’ house and what could wait. Well, like any good, kind, and caring wife, she packed up my stuff for me while I worked (thanks Honey). And so I give you the following conversation from yesterday as we got ready for church.
Me: Honey, where is my belt?
The Wife: Ummm…I think I forgot to pack that. Sorry.
Me: Well, that’s alright. I guess I don’t need a belt for few hours.
A few minutes pass.
Me: Where did you pack my tie?
The Wife: Uhhh…I forgot to pack that too. Sorry.
Me: So I have no belt and no tie?
The Wife: Yeah, sorry about that. But you’ll be okay for today. Just don’t worry about it.
Me: I am going to look totally stupid with no belt or tie.
The Wife: No one is going to care how you look.
Me: Well, I care.
The Wife: You’ll be fine. It’s just one day.
A few minutes pass.
Me: Please tell me you packed my dress shoes.
The Wife:
Me: So I take it that’s a “no.”
The Wife:
Me: So I have no belt, no tie, and no dress shoes?
The Wife: Just wear your flip-flops.
Me: I am not wearing my flip-flops to church.
The Wife: In Hawaii they were flip-flops to church.
Me: Well, the last time I checked, we weren’t in Hawaii.
The Wife: It’s just for a few hours. You’ll be fine.
Me: I am going to look like such a goober.
A while later
I come upstairs carrying my tennis shoes and socks (white socks, if you must know).
The Wife: You’re not going to wear your flip-flops?
Me: I am not wearing my flip-flops to church.
The Wife:
Me: Just out of curiousity, did you pack my dress socks?
The Wife: Yes I did. But don’t go and get them, we are going to be late.
Me: I’m not going to go and get them. I may look like a idiot, but I know you don’t wear dress socks with tennis shoes.
The Wife:
Me:
Epilogue
The Wife: I saw several people wearing flip-flops at church today.
Me: And were any of them men?
The Wife:
No.
Me: That’s because men don’t wear flip-flops to church.
The Wife:
Me:

[...] Yesterday was one of those days. As I alluded to earlier, we are in the midst of a move. I say “in the midst of” because currently we have moved out of our place and are technically homeless. Thankfully, The Wife’s brothers have allowed us to crash at their townhouse. Anyway, the stress of not having a place of our own to call home was really getting to us. And then the car died. [...]

She was laughing pretty hard. I was too by the end, but not at first.
