Expensive Sunglasses- Forgetful Mom and Dad
I remember when Melissa was pregnant with our son, Rylan, she was very forgetful. She would tell me something and then tell me the same thing 2 minutes later. She would forget a lot. It was like her IQ dropped 10 points. This is very common for moms to be. For new dads to be, get ready to be the memories of your wives.
Don’t worry the memory does come back. Once your baby is born, your wife is your memory. She will tell you what needs to be done and when. As a dad, you will even ask if you are doing everything right.
A couple of days ago my wife, Rylan, and I went shopping at Kohl’s. We had a 30% off coupon so we did our best to be frugal. On the way into Kohl’s I complained to Melissa that I still had sunglasses on top of my head and I didn’t want to leave them in the dressing room with me. All three of us got clothes. Melissa and I had to try ours on. We probably spent an hour shopping. We had some great mom and dad teamwork. I would watch Rylan when she was trying on clothes and I would watch Rylan when she would try on clothes.
We paid for our clothes and some other things at Kohl’s with our 30% off. About the same spot I complained to Melissa about bringing in my sunglasses, I said, “Oh crud, where are my sunglasses.” I really said some other words that I should not say in front of my son.
Then Melissa said, “Oh crud, I don’t have mine either. I hope they are still in the dressing room”
My sunglasses wouldn’t have been a big deal since they were the grocery store special. Melissa’s sunglasses were a different story. I believe they were a $300 gift of very expensive plastic. I sure can’t tell the difference between them and my grocery store special glasses.
Needless to say, either Kohl’s customers do not know anything about designer sunglasses like me or they are very kind and let the person come back and retrieve them. This dad will take both of those answers. I am just glad we both got our sunglasses back and our mom and dad forgetfulness was not costly. I am also glad that we both forgot our sunglasses or my wife would have something to hold against me.
Real Dad Blog Version: My wife and I forgot our sunglasses. We got them back. Phew! Never bring your sunglasses into a store’s dressing room.
