Thanks, Dear

We choose to remain in the dark ages cheap ways frugal living of cell phone use.


We don't carry smart phones, and our plan includes a limited amount of texts.  


In the years we've been on this plan, the limited amount of texting has never been a problem.  I have always texted to my heart's content and never gone over.  


Until this month.  And boy oh boy did I go over.


After learning of this unexpected expense I was fretting and stewing at that fact that I had cost us like that.


I realized that through all my talking about it Greg had carried on with regular conversation and playing with the boys.


I commented that he didn't seem very worried about it.


"It's just money," he told me.


Touched by his kind perspective, I thanked him for being so understanding and told him I appreciated it.  "A lot of men in your place would give their wives a hard time."


He told me again, "I'm not worried about it.  But it is coming out of your allowance."




(P.S. Just to clarify: I don't get an allowance, and spend freely from our funds.  That's what made this joke funny.)
