Beth complained to me last night that I haven't mentioned her here in
awhile, so I'll be a good husband and oblige her.
Here are a couple of recent gems from The Bethy for
your pleasure. It's never a dull moment with her around...
ME: "When I went to school in Charlottesville, you could always tell if someone was from out of town
by the way they said 'Rio Road.' They'd ask, 'Which way to REE-o Road?' rather than 'Which way to RYE-o
Road?'"
BETH: "Why would they say it like that?"
ME:
"Because that's how you pronounce it."
BETH: "Oh."
ME: "Have I told you that Barney wears number
45 because Rob Deer was one of his favorite players on the Brewers?"
BETH: "Yeah, you've told me that story before...But wait, hold on. I thought it was
Justin you were talking about."
ME: "Uh...No, it's Barney. Justin doesn't wear
number 45. That wouldn't make any sense."
BETH: "Yeah, I've
been wondering about that for awhile..."
BETH: "When I was a kid, we used to take
old aluminum foil and spread it out and rub it to get all of the
wrinkles out. We'd take nickels and rub and rub until all the wrinkles
were gone. Boy, we used to do that for hours. You ever do that?"
ME:
"No, I played outside when I was a kid."
BETH: "I like being one of the first people to
board the plane because then I'm sure to get a spot in the overhang
compartment for my carry-on."
ME: "Did you just say 'overhang'?"
BETH: "Yeah, the overhang compartment."
ME: "It's called an overhead compartment, not an overhang compartment."
BETH: "Oh."
See what happens when you complain that I
haven't mentioned you in my blog lately? Certainly, nothing good can come out of
that.
