Tales of an Old Married Couple #1

Husband and I recently returned from a long weekend in Florida. We attended a wonderful conference that was filled with amazing teaching and music. Each night, they left a “pillow gift” of either a book authored by one of the speakers or a CD by a musician. They also left two chocolates…the idea being two room occupants, two chocolates.

The first night, we returned to our room to find a book and two chocolates. I put on my pjs and stepped in the bathroom…looking forward to sitting on my bed, watching tv, and eating my chocolate. I returned and Husband had eaten BOTH chocolates! I asked him…”What were you thinking? Have you met me? Is there any time in our 20 year marriage that I have NOT liked chocolate?” He had nothing to say. I also had nothing to say to him for the rest of the night. I, of course, had plenty to say to everyone at breakfast about his dastardly deed.

The next night, I went up to our room between the night session and the dessert reception. Imagine my delight to find the pillow gift and two chocolates! I grabbed both chocolates, put them in my pocket, and returned to the reception. When I said good-night, several people asked about my chocolate plans…I smiled and showed them the chocolates in my pocket. I am not above petty revenge!
