Last night , my husband asked me a simple question:

“Do we have peanut butter?”

I answered with full confidence:

“YES”

I even walked behind him like a woman about to prove her point.

I opened the cabinet.

I looked.

I blinked.

Nothing, Zero. Empty. Not even a peanut.

Before he could say anything, I confessed immediately:

“No peanut butter. I thought we had it on the shelf.”

He turned around slowly and asked.

“What shelf?”

And without thinking, I answered:

“The shelf at Acme.”

He stared at me.

Then he started laughing – that soft, gentle laugh he does when he’s trying not to make fun of me but absolutely is.

And he said, “You don’t make it better.”

But honestly…I did see peanut butter. Just not in our house.

I guess my husband realized his life went from quiet to bouncing once I jumped into it. LOL
