My husband, Garth (not his real name) and I recently bumped into friends of ours at the market, literally — the deli counter can be a very dangerous place, especially on a Sunday night — which, by the way, some folks consider to be a perfectly acceptable "date night" and typically a pretty good indication that these same folks also happen to be parents of older kids.
Parental Unit #1: I'm going to head out to the store and pick up a few things.
Parental Unit #2: WAIT, I'll go with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Personally, we prefer to cruise the aisles at either Lowes or Home Depot.
Aaaaanyway, the wife and I started chatting.
I mean, our "friend's wife".
I don't have a wife.
Although, I feel it safe to say that we could ALL use an extra wife, or twenty, right about now, am I right?!?
Soooooooo, we were chatting about our kids (because, but of course!) when her husband comes up to me and says:
"So, you gonna blog this too?!?"
I still truly believe it as a moment of innocent teasing.
This is the same guy who honks his horn every time he drives past our house, several times a day and, no matter where I am or what I am doing, I holler:
"Heeeeeeeey, Wayne (not his real name, either!)"
Still, I can't help but wonder: in the age of Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram, are people IRL (who also happen to be on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and/or Instagram) still a little leary about my blogging?
