I decided not to try to write something
original today. Instead, I bring you...
Things My Husband Has Said Lately
Me:
We’re supposed to wear black tomorrow.
I wonder if I even have any black pants that fit.
Husband:
Well, there’s always Sharpies.

Husband:
If you look at photos from the Israeli election you would conclude that
Trump is running for head of the Knesset.

Box turtle at Cleveland Botanical Garden
I did find a turtle costume online, but I didn't like it. |
Me: I need a turtle costume by next Wednesday.
Husband: Check at the zoo, in the amphibian section.
Me, a confused non-biologist: Are turtles amphibians?
Husband, thinking for a moment: No, they are reptiles. Check in the reptile section.
Me:
Because when you are looking for an animal costume it’s important to be
precise about the classification.

The local Halloween store did not have any
turtle costumes, but they did have this.

I arrived home from worship at church. The scripture the pastor preached on that day
was 1 Timothy 2:1-7, which starts out:
“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions,
and thanksgivings be made for everyone….”
Husband: How was church?
Me, hanging my head in shame: The pastor said we have to pray for
EVERYONE.
Husband: Oh, MAN!
Everyone?! Really?!

Me, solemnly: Did you know that you have
something in common with Bernie Sanders now?
Husband:
I do? I mean, I do not agree with him on his “college for
all” proposal.
Me:
He had a heart problem and had two stents put in.

Back in early September, my husband said,
“It’s not my job to make sense of things.”
I don’t remember what we had been talking
about, but I think it’s very hard these days, even though we have great and
unmatched wisdom, to make sense of anything.

This is why I needed to wear black - black or
orange - to demand common sense
