Eating Crow...

Friday July 20, 2007

I hate Crow, it tastes a little like…hum… WRONG! With my refined pallet I often prefer things like right, gloat , boast and if I must settle for something less I’ll even take “I told you so”. For those of you that know my husband, a wonderful man, you will all know that when he is right there is no celebratory dance no bo’ya no in your face just a small smirk will appear. That is his satisfied smirk, it is the “I knew I was right and now you must eat CROW” smirk.
40 minutes after I began washing my car I was taken back to a day in Wal-Mart (which you will all know is my favorite store ;) !!!)There we stood looking at the large rack of outdoor hoses. Matthew went straight for the 19.99 hose. It was yellow, HUGE and it was 20 bucks…do you really need a 20 dollar hose I said. I mean come on…how often will you use this 20 dollar hose? He looked at me and said these words, if you get the cheap hose it will kink! I looked at him and said in all of my gardening wisdom… shut up a hose is a hose!!! I got the cheap hose and I spent 40 of the 45 min washing my car, unkinking the hose! Toward the end of the car washing experience I looked at the hose unhooked it and threw it in the trash. STUPID HOSE! I told matthew over the phone of my drama with the hose and as I relived the horror of the hose I could hear the smirk appear…so as a outwardly gesture to my oh so sweet husband…I WAS WRONG!
