HER to HIM (via e-mail): I have a new wine item for you! Let's have a date Saturday night. We can have dinner out somewhere north of the river.
HIM to HER (via e-mail): If we date, it has to be at a place we have not been before.
SATURDAY
HIM: What is the date?
HER: I will tell you later.
HIM: OK.
(later, lying in bed)
HIM: What is it? Where are we going?
HER: I can't tell you
HIM: Is this a Darien-date or a John-date?
HER: A Darien-date.
HIM: Will I be embarrassed?
HER: No.
HIM: Will I have to talk to anyone?
HER: No.
HIM: OK.
HIM: OK.
HER: We have to leave at 7:30. Will you be ready?
HIM: Yes.
HER: That is a half hour from now.
HIM: OK.
(38 minutes later, in the car on the Willey Bridge)
HIM: Are we going to see the Godwin marching band?
HER (squealing): YES! YES! YESSSS! I am so excited! It is a band competition, and Godwin performs last!
HIM: OK.
HIM (in his head): Welcome to my nightmare.
Dare I hope for a trend that could become institutionalized? We have less than two months to go before I have to cease this public humiliation.
I have seen many Band Competitions, I can understand your excitement! John was in Marching Band and Drum Line in High School.
ReplyDeleteI LOVED marching band!!! "One day, at band camp..." that was MEeeee!!! =) Band competitions are exciting. Hope you get to some more. Look for Drum Corps, comps, too. The best of the band (I'm partial, I played trombone)! Love the new t-shirt, btw!
