On Thursday night at the swim meet it got very, very hot in the pool area. Donnie was looking very uncomfortable so I suggested he take a break and go buy us some soda.
About 10 minutes later he comes back carrying four bottles of soda. There are only two of us. So I raise my eyebrows in question at him and he says "Loooong story." He's grinning though.
When he finally did tell me, I knew I had to share it. At the end you can answer my question.
He said he walked on by the soda machines to support the school store. At the store he ordered his Diet Mt. Dew and a Diet Coke for me, since they didn't have my favorite, Dt. Dr. Pepper. The gal took his $3 and then handed him two sodas. He turned to leave and saw that she had given him a Coke Zero. He turns around, which I know was brave of him, because he would have just drunk it if it had been a mistake on his soda.
"Excuse me, but I ordered a Diet Coke."
"Oh, well, I checked the ingredients and they are practically the same."
"Well, I don't know, my wife is pretty particular about her soda." (an understatement, to be sure)
The Diet Coke was out, the silver label he had seen was for Barq's root beer. So she said
"Good luck with that."
Great. Now he had to go back to me and bring me a soda that I wouldn't drink, and would probably insist he return since it wasn't what he ordered.
But then he spied the soda machines!
So he sets his bottles on top of the machine and digs out some cash and buys me a Diet Coke. That will at least get me to drink it.
As he bends over to retrieve the Diet Coke he sees the button for the Diet Dr. Pepper.
Yes, he really does! LOL
So, he thinks he better get me the one I REALLY like.
Normally, I would have brought that first soda back and demanded the money back. But him dragging 3 bottles of soda to me was so comical that I just sat there and laughed.
OK, so, is he a pleaser or am I that difficult?
This might help you decide: I was telling my friends this story last night and part way into the story they guessed that I would make him take it back or take it back myself.
7 people think my kids are qtpies:
It's probably a good thing that a person who is as "difficult" as you are, has a husband who is "eager to please"...which is also why he had to clarify what he THOUGHT he'd heard you say the other night.
lol That is a great story! I am so glad bed head is over! That contest must have been sponsored by energizer! Padma
If the Momma ain't happy - ain't nobody happy...he knows better... :)
Maybe a little of both? Just kidding LOL. I think that was really sweet-what really got me was the smarty girl. "Good luck with that."?? What's that about?? I don't think kids realize how rude those catch phrases come across.
If the same situation happened with my husband and I, I would say Chuck did it only so he didn't have to heat me gripe about it, LOL!
That is so funny! I think you hit it right on...you are difficult, or should I say *ahem* particular, and he loves you and aims to please. There is nothing wrong with that...I think it is sweet!
Too funny! Great blog material, too!
I think it would probably be safest for all concerned, especially Donnie, to leave that question unanswered. =)
