When will I grow up? Never.

Few years ago at Freddy's, I found from Imperial Toys, soft rubber monster creatures on cards. There were three designs, two of which I didn't care for. The third was a red bat-creature with wicked talons, I couldn't pass on.
Meeting up with the wife in the store she says; 'What you got there?' I replied; 'Nothing.' She said; 'Let me see.' Showing her the creture, she said; 'Wow that is a cool toy.'
On our way through the parking lot toward our vehicle, I saw a mother with her two boy (about 6 and 8 years old) walking toward us to the store.
I turn toward my wife and asked; 'Where's my monster?'
My wife: 'It's in the bag, don't worry.'
Myself: 'Gimme my monster, gimme, gimme.'
My wife: 'You'll have to wait till we get to the car.'
Myself: 'But I don't wanna wait.'
My wife: 'You're just going to have to.'
In our vehicle, we laughed at the wide-eye amazement the mother and sons had on their faces as we passed them. On the way out of the parking lot, I said; 'Honey, did you know that if this monster was really alive, this is just what it would look like?' She asked; 'Really?' I said; 'Yup, says so right here on the card, "Life-Like Monster".'

NEVER is right, if you grow up you grow old. What a great story!

That's pretty funny. You're lucky to have such a patient mommy...er...wife!

Great story. By the way... what is "grown up"? Never heard of it.

Nice story!

We are both into cartoons like the Simpsons. Our relationship is so dynamic. She falls into character, at the drop of a hat.
I don't drive motor vehicles. Never had a driver's liecense. It's rare that my wife asks me to pump gas. I do it without thought when she asks. She loves to do it herself. I only get to wash windows and check tires for my own concerns.
One summer day, when the tires didn't need checking and the windows were clean, I was sitting in the front passenger seat while Kissy filled the tank. I look back to see how she's doing and notice a woman pumping gas on the otherside, looking at me with a very displeased expression on her face. As my wife got back into the driver's seat, I said; 'What took you so long?! I waited forever!' Without missing a beat she fell into the role of 50s young trophey bride. 'I'm sorry, the pump wouldn't take my card at first and then it took more time to turn on.' I replied; 'Well, I can't wait forever.' At this time, I start to realize that I'm in over my head. All this time Kissy is starting the car and pulling away from the pump. It's summer and the windows are down. While still in earshot of the woman still at the pump, Kissy says; 'I'll try to be faster in the future.' Now I'm ready to die laughing. There is no reason on this earth, that my wife should tolerate this behavior from me, and there she is, doing it with sugar on top. Once out of earshot, I said; 'OMG do you realize what you did?' Kissy says; 'What did I do?' I said; 'You just helped me give that woman at the pump back there, every reason in the world to hate me.'
Did I mention that I'm about 14 years older than my wife? Probably shouldn't have mention that.

You guys sound like a lot of fun. Me and the missus have a relationship like that too. We're both big kids at heart, collect stuff (she's into Barbies, Wonder Woman, etc), and both fall into our own comedy routines at the drop of a hat. We had the lady at McDonald's in stitches last week, arguing in an Abbot and Costello like fashion while we tried to order.

I try to not take that for granted. There are so many folks in relationships that are pretty miserable. It's great to have your best friend as your spouse.
