Can't forget my Gums!

December 17, 2013

When I get home from work in the evenings the Hubs likes to take little shopping/errand trips out. They are usually pretty short and sweet. Last night, we were getting him ready for an interview. We bought a belt, tie and one of those small packs of 5 gum, only the essentials. As we were waiting for our pizza, this was the conversation we had.....

Me: "Are you nervous about the interview?"

Hubs: "Nope. I'm going to make that lady feel like I'm running the interview. I'm going to ask her all kinds of questions."

Me: "Oh yea, like what?"

Hubs: "how heavy is a polar bear?"

Me: **confused look** "Uh, not sure? Pretty heavy, though and strong enough to open Coke bottles."

Hubs: "What?!?.......Heavy enough to break the ice."

Me: "Oh, cute." 

Hubs: "Don't let me forget my gums."

Me: "What are you talking about?"

Hubs: "My gums you know, the gums you gave me, don't let me forget them in the car."

Me: "What gums did I give you?"

Hubs: "The chewing gums you gave me, at the store!"

Me: "Oh, gum! The gum I gave you, I put it in your pocket you won't forget it. Also, just a side note....it's just called gum, not gums. Gums refer to the pink tissue inside your mouth that surrounds the necks of your teeth."

Hubs: "Yea, but wouldn't it be plural because there is more than one piece?"
Me: "Again, the plural is just gum."
