So You Think After 45 Years You Know Her?





SO YOU THINK after 45 years you know everything about your spouse?  Nope !  I just learned something new about mine.  I still can't believe I just stumbled on this one today.

Today, my wife decided to bake bread.  Not that unusual.  Then we had a late afternoon lunch incorporating said fresh loaf of homemade bread.  Again, not that unusual. We each prepare our favorite sandwich and head to the table beside the patio to enjoy the bright sun.  Again, still not that unusual.

As I sit down with my pepperoni and butter sandwich, I notice my wife has chosen for her sandwich, cheese... with some red stuff smeared all over it.  Sooooo...... I ask; "what in the world is that red stuff on your cheddar?" "Jam" she says with a straight face.  Jam smeared all over cheese... ugh?  That is right up there with ketchup on ice cream. (I had a room-mate into that once). "What a way to ruin a fresh slice of homemade bread".

So, I was curious: "What made you think this would make a good sandwich?" "Oh, I have been doing this since I was a kid", she says, "mom used to make it all the time. "Really?" "Where was I all the other times?  I have never seen this part of you."  Who knew?

I wonder what other surprises are still in store for me?
