How much do you know your spouse? Really know your spouse? I would like to pride myself on how much Jimmy and I know one another and are in tune with one another. Well...get this. We are shopping at WalMart for groceries a couple of weeks ago and we are in the cold department and he walks up and grabs up 2 cases of yogurt....strawberry and blueberry to be exact. I said, "hey, what are you doing? That's not the kind that W likes". He said, "oh, I know, but this is the kind that I like". I looked at him and laughed. I honestly thought he was being funny. He said, "What are you laughing at"? Then he placed the cartons in the buggy. I said, "you don't like yogurt". He quickly replied, "Yes, I do". I cocked my head sideways like a puppy and stared at him like he had grown another head. He grabbed the buggy and rolled on, leaving me feeling confused.
We checked out and got in the car and I said, "do you really like yogurt?". He laughed and said, "yeah, I really like yogurt". I kinda got tears in my eyes - mainly because I'm pregnant - and said, "really"? He laughed again. "Yes, Amy, I like yogurt. I've always liked yogurt". I said, "so...all of these years, I've gone to the grocery store and come home without yogurt for you and you've been sad"? Of course, he played it up and said yes. Ha. I sat there, silent for a bit and asked him, "well...what else do I not know about you? I've known you for over 15 years and I had no idea that you liked yogurt!" He laughed and said there wasn't anything else that I didn't know.
I really felt kind of guilty, and sad. Have I been a less than stellar wife because I didn't buy the dude some yogurt?!? Poor thing. He does think it's utterly hilarious though - because EVERY single morning, as I'm getting ready in the bathroom, he comes in eating his yogurt from the carton with a big smile on his face....you know, just so I will remember that he likes yogurt :)
Yogurt or no yogurt - I love this guy :) :) You can bet that I'll buy him some yogurt every trip from now to forever!
