A Couple of Hicks




Let me relate another husband/wife conversation for you. Also, let me set the scene. We were standing at the kitchen counter last night, sorting through mail. Jeremy opens a letter from State Farm kindly requesting that we use them for all of our insurance needs. O.K., go!

Jeremy: Oh, it's State Farm. I was thinking, "Why are you sending me this letter? We already have insurance with you." But we have that other farm one.

Kristen: I know! There are too many with "farm" in their names. It always gives me pause.

Jeremy: Gives you pause?? What?

Kristen: Not "paws." (imitate kitty paws to demonstrate) You know, like it makes me go, "Hmmm...which one is this?" Gives me pause.

Jeremy: You're a Hicks now. We don't say stuff like that. You're gonna have to cut that out.

By that time we were both laughing pretty hard. Or maybe that was just me? He can deliver funny lines pretty straight-faced, but then he eventually get tickled, too. I love that about him. =)

  2. Would it have been acceptable if you would have said paws?

    Michael - yes, I get the feeling it would have been more acceptable if it had "given me paws." Ha! ;)

  5. Sigh. Can I just come and spend a weekend with you guys. I laughed out loud. And I'm reading this while subbing. At the middle school. Where very few things can make you laugh. Roll your eyes, yes. Laugh, not so much.

    Jenny - yes, please! Well, when we get our guest room finished. Working on it now. We'd love to have you guys!! We won't even give you a tour of the local middle school. ;)
