Scott perused over a document he’d just synced to his phone while I was driving us home from Lincoln. We’d enjoyed a fun appointment with a new friend and now, driving home, Scott had been making calls.
It was getting late, so the calls stopped and his never ending fascination with his phone resumed.
Keys clicked on the Blackjack phone. Tires crunched on the snow-packed roads.
“It’s amazing,” I said with a singsong-newlywed tone, “how we’re together almost 24/7 these days.” (Referring to our working-together jobs.)
“What’s amazing,” he said seconds later, “is that I can read a 33 megabyte file from my phone.”
Silence.
“Wow, I can’t believe you just said that,” I said shocked but not shocked. “You missed a potentially very romantic moment there, Honey.”
I couldn’t play mad; it was too funny.
“Scott, we have to write these down for future generations–things like this and the Halloween candy story.”
I have a feeling that many of our marriage communication foibles like this will involve conversations in moving vehicles.
What funny male v. female stories about communication do you have? We want to hear!

I like Scott more every time I read one of these. So awesome – thanks for sharing.

In all fairness, being able to read a 33 mb document on your phone IS amazing.

I babysit for 5 precious children – ages 2 to 9, 4 girls and 1 boy! Last week I was asking the 6 year old boy what America “got new”…I expected to hear something about our president…His reply? “An ipod?!” I guess it starts young….the girls and I play princess and dress up for hours. As soon as he’s involved, things change…today he became a burglar attacking the princesses!
Lastly, I’m pretty sure that almost every time my husband and I have conversations, the beauty of the differences of our genders appear…I’m naming our future children that may never exist. He’s dreaming of how much plasma he’d have to give to get an iPhone. Right now, I’m trying to think of a funny story about us, and he said he just can’t stop thinking about his computer code to remember a story for this blog
Love you, Bentleys!
