Coffee Talk
By Stephanie Kemp
One Morning
Me: “Do you know the difference between a lamb and a sheep?”
Husband: ……………………….
Me: “I know. It’s sort of embarrassing, isn’t it? I think a lamb is a baby sheep.”
Husband (phone in hand): “Yeah. A lamb becomes a sheep at twelve months old.”
Me: “More coffee?”
Another Morning
Me: “I try to appreciate things for what they are, not diminish them for all the things they’re not.”
We were only talking about (our daughter’s) turkey bacon, but still…..
This feels important.
One More Morning
Me: “I don’t want to waste what’s left of my back on your Gloria Estefan dance moves.”
Husband: “Ok.”
I love him.
Later that day, as we prepped pigs in a blanket……..
Husband: “When you were young, was there a side of you that was afraid of Grey Poupon?”
Me: “No.”
I (still) love him.
To be continued…..
