Hubs and I got separated at Walmart. When we found each other again, we both had on a giant bear head hat.

So imagine this bear’s head on our heads. But pretend it’s not creepy.
We’d come across the display separately, weighed the pros and cons of “who knows who’s had their head in this thing” vs. “gosh, it would be funny” and decided funny won. We saw each other, froze, and immediately cracked up. Recently he had a bad cold. Knowing that there’s always a peak day to any illness, when he left for work one morning, I said with a big, encouraging smile, “I hope this is your worst day!”
He paused in the doorway and looked at me. “This is the only instance in which that could possibly be a nice thing to say.”
Who loves you, baby?
You two are definitely meant for each other! You really crack me up!

That’s what my best friend said to me too, when I told her this story: that we’re meant for each other. Hooray! 🙂 (And thank goodness!)

Please tell me that at least one of you bought the bear head, please. I bet with a cold, he felt bit like he was wearing the bear’s head.

We did not, but fortunately the cold and the bear head incident were roughly a month apart. I would certainly hope that someone with a cold wouldn’t try on the bear head. Yuck.

In all seriousness, how cool you still have so much fun together. That’s key, isn’t it? Because someday you’ll be like me with one off in college and the other almost out the door, and you’ll only have each other to stare at over the dinner table. 😄

True. I guess since I just hit the reset button with this little one, that time has been pushed back a bit. I do feel sorry for the little guy, though. If he’s our last, he’ll be stuck with just us, no siblings, for seven years.

I know, right? We’d totally be THOSE people. But no kitten hats! They had different types of bears, a shark, an alligator, I think, but no felines! I should protest. [BTW, confidentially, so no one better read this, and of course now they will: I added a provision where the invisibility pill needs an antidote within 10 days or it becomes permanent. Not bad, eh? Raising the old stakes!]

Ooh, that’s good! And a shorter deadline (if it works in the plot) raises the stakes even more. Just what my writing mentor always says: there has to be a deadline 🙂

Oddly enough, my wife and I had a good 15 min debate on whether we should buy the shark head and use up valuable luggage space when we traveled back to Ukraine. We passed, but it feels good to be strange.

On a different note: You started your post with “Hubs and I got separated…” That instant before I read the rest of the sentence, my heart stopped, my throat tightened, and I thought the world had ended. You are the last person –but wait! I’m jumping to conclusions. Read the rest of the sentence!

LoL … I had the same, well almost the same, situation at Wal-Mart with my four year old! I was looking at something and she found the box of giant head masks they have this year, these things are huge! I turned around to see a giant kitty head on top of a little stick figure body! LMAO it was the best Mommy Moment in Wal-Mart ever!
