Why My Wife Is a Strong Woman

My wife has put up with a lot in her life.  Some before I met her and a lot since.  My twisted sense of humor is one of the things she has had to endure .Today is a good example.  With Malry turning eighteen and becoming a legal adult, there are certain things that Heather and I must do to make sure that we can take care of him.  One of these things is become his legal guardians.  To become his legal guardians we have to utilize the services of an attorney.  We had an appointment today to meet with our attorneys and do some paperwork with them.  We were in the conference room at the attorney's office and I had to go out to the car for something.  Heather asked me as I was leaving the conference room if I would bring her cup of water back in with me.  As I was going past the receptionists I said " Sure, honey. I'm here to serve you!" and smiled. The receptionists didn't seem to hear me or didn't care what I was saying. I did what I needed to in the car and went back in to the conference room, forgetting Heather's water.  When I realized I had forgotten it I looked at Heather and she just grinned and asked that I go back out and get it.  As if she was asking me to hike the Appalachian Trail to get her some mountain spring water, I reluctantly agreed. As I reentered the lobby I had a sad look on my face and was shaking my head, making sure the receptionists saw and heard me. I said" GOD! It is tough being married to an alcoholic! She has to have her vodka RIGHT NOW!".  The receptionists had looks on their faces like I had flashed them.  They were dumbfounded. I think I actually heard one of their jaws hit their keyboard. It was priceless. When I got in the conference room and told Heather and the attorneys what I had said I was physically assaulted and applauded at the same time.  I'll let the reader decide which person they think was the assaulter.  Anyway, Heather I love you, girl for putting up with my Shenanigans and smiling through it all.
