Times have changed. Even when you are stuck in a meeting where you can’t take a call, you can still have important conversations with the one you love.
Did I narrowly avoid a minor disaster?
Thank you Blackberry Messenger!
Text Message conversation between me and the Hubby:
Hubs:
Hey baby. SweetGirl just found and caught a toad. She named it Mr.Nubs and she LOVES him. She really really wants to keep him.
Me:
And you told her?
Hubs:
Well… Do we still have the old aquarium?
Me:
NO.
(Thinking to myself. I already vacuum and swiffer every day thanks to our black lab who should be bald by now, I am the only one who looks after the damn fish that they just HAD to have, and you want to add some toad that you fished out of the pool to my to do list!?! Deal with this. Please.)
Hubby:
Oh.
What do you think I should do?
Me:
Honey. You are there. Can you please deal with this one?
Hubby:
Maybe the toad would be happier with its family?
Me:
Yes Honey. That’s perfect.
(Thank you for my sweet man with a big soft heart, and his blackberry)
We loved you Mr.Nubs.
Oh yes, we’ve claimed a lot of issues about “family” when returning animals to the wild. My kids are certain that there are loads of happy animal families because we’ve returned the “kinfolk” back to them!
