My Prize

Husband: "So what are you doing Friday night?"

Me: "I'm staying at Big Sandy Lodge, with you. Are you asking me on a date?"

H: "No."

M: [deflated] "Oh."

H: [pause] "Are you going to watch the Vikings game?" [grins]

M: [eyeroll] "Oh, gawd. Are you serious?"

H: "We only have to watch like, 3 quarters."

M: "The entire game is 4 quarters!"

H: "OK, it's preseason. Maybe only one quarter."

M: "I guess it will be on in the bar, I can drink."

H: "Sure."

M: "Here I thought you were going to do something romantic."

H: "Me?!"

M: "Yes, you. I know it's in there somewhere. Did you just do it when we were dating to woo me?"

H: "Pretty much."

M: "Sweet. Something to look forward to for years to come."

Hey, sounds familiar, except the conversation would happen 5 minutes before the game. At least you got a heads up! And it wouldn't be the Vikings, it would be the Packers playing...or should I say the Buccaneers...

You are just now figuring this out? Ha! you've been duped ;-)

Ah the Vikings and the Cyclones, then basketball and wrestling season...

*singing* It's the most wonderful time of the year.....

Mine would go something like this....

Lisa: Where are we going? (noticing we missed the turn to go home)

Me: Up to the bar.

L: Oh. What for?

M: Football game is on. I thought we'd watch a little bit.

L: It's preseason, right?

M: Yeah, we won't watch all of it. Just a couple beers.

L: Preseason Football.

M: (Keeps looking forward.....then glances at L while driving)

L: (looking blankly at me, completely speechless)

J: (Turns vehicle around)
