Me: Can you read tonight’s post and let me know what you think? I still have to take the chocolate chip picture for the header.
(Kay is intently looking at his touch pad. And I’m not even sure he has heard me.)
Kay: Where is the picture? It isn’t showing up. Something is wrong.
Me: (Staring at him with the, “Are you kidding me?” look. And then…) I just said, I still need to take the picture.
Kay: Normally there is at least a default picture.
Me: (Sigh.) No… there’s not a picture. The icon is different because I have text in the field, but haven’t uploaded a picture.
Kay: Well the graphic normally looks different.
Me: I just said, I don’t have the picture yet.
A couple minutes later.
Kay: (Asking in reference to the chocolate chip bag.) Are these like coffee bean chocolates?
Me: No… they are chocolate chips.
Kay: Yeah, like little beans.
(Kay grabs the bag.)
Me: Like miniature Hersey’s kisses.
(Kay is still playing with the bag, but still puzzled.)
Me: Haven’t you seen Hersey’s kisses before?
(Kay shakes his head no.)
Kay: Funny. Nestle is a Swiss company.
(Kay goes back to reading.)
Kay: Germany doesn’t have a Veteran’s Day.
Me: Right now there are discussions about having one. Hadn’t you heard?
(Kay shakes his head no.)
Me: Yes! I was finally about to inform you of something instead of you always telling me.
(Kay ignores me and continues reading.)
Kay: It isn’t decided yet.
Me: What?
Kay: Whether or not Germany will observe a Veteran’s Day.
Me: The Local said it was.
Kay: It can’t be.
Me: Did you read about it somewhere.
Kay: No, but it can’t be.
(I roll my eyes and let him continue reading.)
Kay: There won’t be a day off.
Me: I don’t know about that, but they said “US Style.” Maybe something was lost in translation.
Kay: No. It can’t be.
Me: You haven’t even read anything about it yet.
Kay: It isn’t decided yet.
Me: (Rolling my eyes.)
Kay: You can trust me on this. You know… that I know… a lot.
And yet another episode of it must be true… because my husband says so.
Tonight we clarified a couple things…
Kay: Click on the preview screen real quick.
(I click on it.)
Kay: See, the icon is different. (Referring to the missing picture.)
Me: And I told you last night because I had text in the field, but had not uploaded the picture.
Kay: And it is just one man, the Defense Minister proposing a German Military Veteran’s Day. And it for sure won’t happen.
Me: …Because Kay says so.
After opening the bag of chocolate chips, I asked Kay, “Do these look like little beans?”
Kay: No, I looked at them last night in the bag. The look like miniature Hersey’s Kisses.
Me: Do you know what Hersey’s Kisses are?
Kay: No, but they look like them.
I love my husband very much but…
a.) I am not looking forward to the day Fynn starts speaking… In German or English.
b.) Does Fynn really need to learn how to play Angry Birds at 16-months?
