| Day 24 of 31 at TWT! |
Instead of his usual "Hi, honey!" upon opening the door, Husband makes a half-startled, half-surprised, very cute little noise.
From around the corner in the other room, I burst out laughing, imagining the look on his face.
I know what he's standing in front of, and I suppose it is a pretty funny sight to be greeted with upon entering the house.
Instead of an open staircase, there's:
a full plastic shopping bag another full plastic shopping bag
an empty cardboard shipping box a paper shopping bag
an open shoebox with bright new tennis
shoes half-spilling out
all scattered and sprawling across where the stairs are presumably buried...
"Let me guess... you saved so much money!" he jokes, with a wink in his voice. That's the joke he's adopted from my dad about when my mom and I go shopping.
I run around the corner, giggling gleefully. "Oh yes! Look how much we saved! And the shoes we ordered earlier this week came too!"
I love shopping with my mom!
The question to ask is does your dad love you shopping with your mom? :-) I love this "a wink in his voice." That's a loving husband.
ReplyDeleteYour opening is so captivating! I love the onomatopoeia in his noise and the way you describe it. Immediately this slice feels playful--you achieved that mood perfectly! Hey, you have to spend money to save money! I imagine your husband's version of this moment would have the same playfulness about it.
ReplyDeleteFun! I like how you staggered the words of your purchase to look as though they were covering the stairs.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! Love a good shopping day with mom!
ReplyDeleteIt's often the comment at Kohl's. They even print it on their receipts. I love that you & your mom have such fun together. I do too with my daughter, but with jobs & two daughters now, we have less time for that. Thanks Jennifer.
