My Beloved called from the grocery store this afternoon asking if I needed anything. I asked her to buy some Ramen noodles for me. I’ve had a hankering for them lately. When she got home, she handed a bottle of rum to me. I gave her a funny look as I took the bottle.
MB: “Did I get the wrong brand?”
Me: “Why’d you buy rum?”
MB: “Isn’t that what you asked for?”
Me: “I asked for Ramen.”
At that point we both exploded with laughter.
We’ve only been married for thirty-eight years. We need time to learn to communicate with each other.
I suspect I’ll eventually put the rum to good use. Perhaps for medicinal purposes. ;-D!
In the meantime, I still have a hankering for Ramen noodles.
With Love,
Russ

🙂 enjoy the rum!
Anybody got any Coca-Cola laying around?
😊
I did the literal laugh out loud. 🙂
I hope you didn’t have any liquid in you mouth at the time. I’ve had to wash off screens and keyboards from bursting out laughing with a mouth full of liquid.
Fortunately I did not. But I know that mess. 😉
If she heard you wanted rum, surely she heard rum and noodles? Did she remember the pasta?
You’re a smart lady, Jan. A few hours after I wrote the post I looked in the cupboard and found ramen noodles. You’re right, that’s exactly what she did. She bought rum AND noodles!
This gave me a great laugh…thanks! 🤣
Thank you for brightening my day with your comment, Mrs. P!
