  • People assume I’m my wife’s older brother or friend. They often ask her if she wants her check separate from mine. It drives her insane. She makes a face and snaps “No, my HUSBAND and I are on the same check.”

      • This is an actual event that occurred. While we were engaged for about a year my wife came to my work to drop off some coffee that she had gotten me. So I came from behind the counter took the coffee from her and gave her a quick peck on the lips you know just a quick kiss. And a lady that was coming up to my desk from there looked at that event and said “Oh is that your daughter?”. Now we do live in a very rural part of the southeast United States and if you’re familiar with the stereotypes involving that, that question was just creepy.
