We were shopping the other day and split up to get it done quicker. Bob heads for the dinner napkins and asks if I have any preferences? "No" I tell him, thinking, really, no, napkins are napkins, not a big deal. So he heads over to grab some napkins, probably a little price comparison to get a "deal" but other than that a no brainer.
So I get done with things I was picking up and head over to the napkins. Surely, it isn't like cookies or breakfast cereal for him, I'm thinking. I get there and he is confused over which ones I want. Don't really care I tell him, until he picks up a pkg with tiny blue and yellow flowers. "No, something simple, they don't have to be designer." He puts them back. "I don't really care for flowers especially if they are orange or yellow". "Don't really like weird graphics either." He tells me "I thought you didn't care." "Well I really don't, I mean maybe I do have a preference, I don't really have a conviction though, but you know what, I think we always buy white."
"You are right, we tend to buy white." "Ok then, let's get the white ones, we're not trying to make a fashion statement or anything."
So as we are walking down the isle for the next "adventure", he says "so, you have to admit, you really do have a preference."
"I guess I do, didn't realize I was that picky."
He says, "that's why I asked."
Yeah but in my defense, I thought, if we were halfway across the store, and he had picked some little blue and yellow flowered napkins and they were already in the cart, I would have lived with it.
He was probably thinking, "I'm glad I didn't already pick them out, because I would have never heard the end of it."
Which, of course, isn't true.
My granddaughter tells me we will be one of those cute older couples who argue over little things that don't matter.
No, I tell her, hopefully when I am in my 90's he will finally be able to read my mind. lol
