All of a sudden from out of the bathroom came this odd question. "Is there a reason there are clothes in the toilet?"
How would you answer this question from your spouse?
A) Yes, there is a reason, leave them alone please.
B) I don't know, but I'm sure whoever put them there had a reason.
C) No, there is NOT a reason.
D) What do you mean there are clothes in the toilet?
I went for multiple choice answer D since I knew nothing about any clothes in the toilet.
Now I've been known to put mousse on my face instead of in my hair and get mighty close to putting something other than coffee grounds in the coffee pot, but I've yet to put clothes in the toilet.
I could have blamed it on the children, but we don't have any. Just 2 cats. I'd be impressed if they did it.
Now if you were me, wouldn't you assume that Tom did it since they were HIS clothes in the toilet? (Turns out, he did put them in there thinking it was the hamper. Did I mention we're still in our 40's).
Well, on September 2, we celebrated 21 years and we find more and more reasons to laugh at AND with each other. We are about as opposite as you can get when it comes to our personalities.
It reminds me of my flowers growing around my yard. Some are very small and dainty, others are big and bold. But you put them together and they show each other off.
Same way in relationships. It's our differences that make our uniqueness stand out. It can also be a point of contention if we're not careful. (Like the clothes in the toilet - I thought his question was worded a bit accusingly - as if he assumed I put them in there. He claims he has no memory of putting any clothes in the toilet.
So take a look at the bouquet I gathered from my yard. Yes, my husband is the bold orange, and# 1 I'm more like the delicate purple with all kinds of smaller intricacies, but together, we make up a beautiful marriage bouquet.
Just need to keep it well watered!
