I am seemingly a collection of differences; a mountain man living on the plains, a small town boy living in the city, and a simple soul working in a high-tech environment. I love being outside, but work inside, quick to cry at a Kodak commercial, but with a military background. But most of all, I am the father of a wonderful boy with Cerebral Palsy.
My husband will not answer the home phone, not because he does not have thumbs, but because he thinks the call will not be for him. he just lets the call go to the answering machine. 99% of the time the call is not for him. Just blockbuster reminding our son he has over due movies.

Cheer: I rarely answer the phone also, on the rare occasion it is for me, my wife tells me to hurry and get off the phone because she is expecting a call...
ReplyDeleteBO: I am going to start incorporating "What fresh hell is this?" into my daily vocabulary!
