Shopping shenanigans
Scene: Grocery store cereal aisle
Me: Did you get my cereal?
Wife: There is no such thing as “Barb’s Wheat Squares.”
Me: Hm. Wait, here they are.
Wife: Those? Are those wheat?
Me: Uh, multigrain?
Wife: Are they squares?
Me: Technically, they’re hexagons.
Wife: Are they called Barb’s Wheat Squares?
Me: Um, no. They’re called Barbara’s Shredded Spoonfuls.
Wife: Uh huh.
Me: Right. Well, I’ll just…
Wife: Put those back. I knew what you meant.

Hilarious. This is marriage in a nutshell…the perfect representation.
and that’s jed’s favorite cereal as well.
only he calls it crispy hexagons.
You need to add smart and funny after the lovely and talentedness.
Barbara? Barbara has her own cereal brand? Barbara Eden maybe? I Dream of Jeanie’s cereal. We apparently have nothing worth eating here in Tennessee.
P.S. I love shenanigans, wherever and by whomever they happen, and I really enjoy how LATW yanks your chain and how you think it’s adorable.
That is pretty much de rigueur around here – nobody knows what the real name of anything is called. It’s only when we have no idea WTF the other person is talking about that tempers flare up:

Me: “The *what?*”
Her: “You know, the POM cup.”
Me: “No… I actually have no idea what you’re talking about.”
Her: “Forget it – it’s not even worth explaining to you.”
I later find out that this is a tall glass jar that once contained POM pomegranate juice…
