maybe?



While returning to our car after spending another obscene amount of time and money in Target, I noticed one of those family stickers on the back window of an SUV.

You know, one of those stickers with a dad, mom and children all with their names under each one.

As I quickly read the names, my eyes lit up!

This was a perfect moment to "catch" my husband and make my point.

You see-- my husband and I have been battling over what our next little one will be named. Since we don't know the gender, I have been adamant about one boy's name in particular. This name is somewhat unusual (not very common-- I don't mean weird), so when I spotted the name on the back of that vehicle, I seized my opportunity for victory.
"Look, at the name, Chris, this must be a sign," I pointed out rather haughtily.
My husband didn't respond, but continued walking toward the vehicle, became aware of something I hadn't seen.

"That's the name of their dog, you fool (in a loving way)," he quipped without even turning around.

I just about peed my pants right there from laughing so hard.

He showed me.

So funny, my husband's a minister and when we were first married he named our cats Calvin and Luther...then wanted to name our first born the same.

Ha ha that gave me a good laugh- now you have to share what the name is after the baby is born if you don't use it!
