While we are rough-housing and I'm getting some really good tickle laughs, my wife comes in and lays down with us.

My mind had been on a fishing trip I'm taking next week, and I say, "I'm pretty hungry, but I don't want to spend any money this week. We could finish grilling those hot dogs from the weekend?"

She says, " Hot Dogs????? On our anniversiary?"

Boy did I blow this one.

amen.

I have been under a lot of pressure lately at work, and I have been quite distracted.

She is very understanding......ummmmm what?......OK.........gotta go......I have to go for another MRI to see if they can find out how far up into my abdomen my other testicle is.

Congratulations to you and Mrs. Andy on your anniversiary. ! ! ! How many 'blessed years' ???

1) I had no immediate response to her comment so I rolled off the bed onto the floor and lay in the fetal position for a moment while my dog happily licked my face.

2) I got up and apologized, then tried to distract her by telling her she had forgotten two years ago (although she hadn't).

3) I then suggested that we go out to eat, or at least heat a bowl of chili to make those hot dogs extra special.

She opted for the former. We went to a newly re-opened restaurant nearby (with the kid) and had a REALLY great dinner, although Delaney (daughter) broke a water glass and was pretty bad the whole time.

I think I am off the hook,; we have a sense of humor about these things, although it MAY come up again in the next wave of "pregnancy-hormone induced depression", which I see a little of here and there.

May you have many more "memorable" years to come! LOL

You have a lifetime exemption now.

Well played.

I was talking with my wife last July 18th on the phone , we talked for awhile when I told her Happy 23 rd anniversary. She stammered and said yea that's right isn't it. At that moment I knew she had forgot about it . Well 23 years is along time.........

Both of us. She remembered first... the next day. Needless to say, it hasn't happened since. Last May was # 24. (knock on the desk)

Andy... bad things happen to you because you're a dumbass.

Life is so much better that way.

BTW - We both forgot our last anniversary by over a week.

This was the first step in your training, grasshopper. 😉
