Just another day in paradise
Bill says “No” to most everything I ask for.
This is not because he is mean or evil. It is because he is cheap and practical.
I don’t say that to be ugly. I love my husband, and even he admits those particular characteristics.
So, over the years I have learned that if I really want something, I simply do not ask, unless it is a major purchase like a 34 foot RV or a boat. . If I ask, well then, he says “No” and I can’t justify my purchase later on.
Bill aims to please, and I am really quite spoiled. He has to be the most laid back person on the planet. He would have to be to put up with me and some of the things I bring home. Take for instance this little gem that I brought home yesterday:
Yup, that is an eensy weensy little box turtle. It is about 2-3 weeks old and I had to have it for the boys. Our local pet shop carries the most amazing exotic animals, and this little guy and his 4 siblings were there waiting for a family for Christmas.
So, we bought it and all the supplies to properly care for it, and then we snuck it in the house while Bill was at the marina working on the boat.
When he got home, we showed him the turtle.
I know many a husband that would lecture, yell, complain and gripe about it….maybe even demand that it be returned.
Bill lifted his glasses and peered down at it. He then came back in the den and asked the kids what its name was.
(Doncha just love him….I know I do.)
Which brings me to the subject of this post…..the kids would like name suggestions.
So please, lurkers and regular commenters alike, lets name Nameless. Get your kiddos involved.
Nameless Needs a Name.
