My wife had to be out of town on a business trip on my birthday. I decided that I was going to take the day off for the first time in years, get a makeover and have an adventure somewhat different than my usual -- a long overdue gift to myself. The miserable weather in my area,however, forced a change of plans, so off to the mall I went.
Two anecdotes of note. A cashier at a store I went to asked me whether my lashes were "my eyelashes." I said they were and she said that she was jealous. She then asked me what brand of mascara I used. Since it was a professional makeover, I had no idea but I told her what I have been using lately when I attempt makeup. She then told a story about how she used to sell that brand when she worked a cosmetics counter. Now I have to find out what mascara the cosmetician used.
Before she left on her trip, my wife showed me a bottle of her makeup remover, explained how to use it and where to find it in the bathroom. She then opined that this is the kind of advice wives don't ordinarily give their husbands but that "you are what you are." Indeed. I told her I appreciated the advice, thanked her for offering her product and agreed that both of us are who we are.
, What an amazing Story,
Wife,
O**
