Eye shadow/shade story

[JenniferYager]

I can never sleep on planes. The noise, the light, it just doesn't work.

I'm also terrible with words in person. I can write fairly well (or so I think), but sometimes words just don't come to me.

I had to take a red-eye flight on Saturday, so I found my wife's eye shade to try and help me sleep. I threw it in my luggage, but as we were driving to the airport I realized I hadn't told her that.

Me: "Hey, I borrowed your eye shadow thing. You know, the blue one."
Wife: "Uhm, ok."

After a bit of awkward silence...

Wife: "I didn't think you had time for that on this trip."
Me: "Well, I figure I would use it on the way over."
Wife (now very confused looking): "You plan on wearing it on the plane? Isn't that a bit obvious?"
Me: "Uhm, yeah, but I can't sleep with all the light from the windows."

Just about that time my wife and I realize I wasn't talking about eye SHADOW, I was talking about the eye SHADE.

Now it's an inside joke. Yet another joy of having an accepting wife :)

That must be so nice having a wife or girlfriend in your life that is so understanding, miss it so bad.

It is wonderful having a supportive spouse. Thank you for sharing.

You don't have one of your own? They are cheap. We have two, one for each of us.

Great story though. It's a good thing she knows about your dressing or you could have been in deep trouble.

Thanks for the story. I can almost imagine her talking to you on the phone wondering what you looked like at that moment.
