Tonight, I came back into my room from a bathroom stop in which I filled up my water bottles. I walked in and said to Mendon, "I've got a present for you," because he had asked me to get the water.
He stares...
He heard: I'd go to prison for you.
I sang, "OO-ooh Darlin', I'd gao ta prisen fer yuuuuH"
I can just see the blank stare on his face, mouth open. . .
Thanks for the laugh :-)
What a declaration of love!
You know, I don't know what this is, but Mark and I find this is true sometimes, too.
We can be 3 feet from each other and not hear what the other is saying, but 3 rooms away and hear perfectly.
The other night I was asking some of our friends whether we'd lent a book to any of them. I couldn't think of the name. After a while, we all hear *from the bathroom* "Choosing Simplicity!" (a title I highly recommend).
Hahahahaha!
The weird thing I keep wondering is: is that what he expected to hear? Did he want to hear some statement of devotion and love which included prison? It confuses me.
I have a feeling that was the reason for the blank stare. "Did she just say she'd go to prison for me?"
We hear each other say things like, "purple turkey chairs." Now, obviously the other person didn't say that, but we can't figure out what they did say, so it becomes the blank stare followed by the "did you just say purple turkey chairs?" Knowing that the other person will say, "no, I said 'did you take out the garbage?'"
