I know I have been lucky since I married my wife almost 30 years ago.
She reminds me often.
When we are younger, we seem to remember everything.
By the time we hit mid-life, however, we start forgetting why we had walked into the next room.
Suddenly, our life is a series of looking for items we can’t find.
Not long ago we went on a Road Trip.
While on a road trip, we stopped at a roadside restaurant for lunch.
After finishing the meal, we left the restaurant and resumed our trip home.
About 40 minutes after we left the restaurant, my wife remembered that she had left her glasses on the table at the restaurant.
We had to travel another two more miles before we could find a place to turn around, in order to return to the restaurant to – retrieve – her – glasses.
All the way back to the restaurant, I guess I was tired and unhappy.
I guess I complained to my wife during the entire return drive back to the restaurant.
To my wife’s relief, we finally arrived at the restaurant.
As my wife got out of the car, and was in a hurry to go inside to retrieve her glasses, I yelled to her,
“While you’re in there, you might as well get my credit card!”
That was the last time I yelled at my wife!
