On June 23rd, 2008, Christin and I went bowling with Brian & Candice and Tony & Erin. It was quite fun. We had fun playing against our better halves. Now, all of our wives are quite competitive and love to win. It was the last 3 frames of the last game and we the husbands had yet to win one game. It was my turn and I choked. The ladies swept us. Now, I wasn't bitter one bit. No, not me. It was fun we had a good time renewing old friendships and telling wonderful adventures of times past and present. On Tuesday, the next day Christin got up and went to take a shower. Before she got in she told me to switch the loads of laundry. Before she got in I asked her three time if she wanted me to do it. She said yes three very distinct times. So, I went to switch the loads. As I switched the loads and started up our lovely washer I heard a very distinct "COLD! COLD! COLD!". It was Christin shreiking in the shower. Even as I was outside on the patio I could hear her in the bathroom. As I peeked in I asked in a sorrowful tone, "Honey what's wrong." She replied, " The shower is cold now. You made the shower cold." She was enjoying her last few minutes in the shower when the temperature suddenly changed. I then responded in my sorrowful voice, "Honey, you told me to switch the loads so I did. I am so sorry that the water went cold on you." Christin replied with an, "I love you" and went back to finishing her once relaxing shower. Call it what you may.
That night I recounted this same story to my lovely Mother-in-law Pam. As I told the story Christin listened in. Here is her account:
I don't like cold showers. Not one bit. Even more, I don't like cold showers by surprise, since usually I have my hair full of shampoo or conditioner when the temperature drops and I have to finish rinsing my hair in the miserable cold as fast as I can before hypothermia sets in. So, Jared suggests after picking me up from work that we visit my parents, and of course I agreed. They were watching last week's episode of So You Think You Can Dance, which I'd already seen, and I had to go to the bathroom so I disappeared for a few moments. Coming back I see Jared lean over to my mother and say "So, guess what I did to Christin this morning" and tell the whole story again. Up to that point, I didn't even know that it was on purpose!
I guess it's my fault...but still, revenge will be sweet...
Her reaction to the figuring out of on purposeness was quite funny. Her Mother... Yes her own mother made fun of her for not figuring that part out out ither. Immediately it was quite funny and mean at the same time. We still both get quite a kick out of it.
