So ok, my wife is from Poland. She immigrated here when she was 13 years old. My kids speak both English and Polish perfectly.
However my wife sometimes does things that just make me shake my head and laugh...and she can't be the only one. So have to swap some stories here folks, what has your S.O. done that make you think "ooooook"
Story #1 (copied and pasted from an old blog)
So last night we got rid of the kids, and my wife and I think ... let's go to that new fancy pants restaurant down the road.
We show up and instantly realize holy crap, we're in one of those upper scale restaurants as folks are in suits and a tie and fancy dresses. We're in bluejeans and t-shrits. But it's early so they let us eat there.
We sit down at table clothed tables, candles, wine glasses and TWO FORKS (that just shows how fancy this joint is) and we are handed the menus. The type of fancy menus that don't open up - one side is the food the other side is cocktails and wines.
I'm looking over the duck and the lamb and the other dead animals to consume when my wife says "oh my god, I got the woman's menu"
....
What I say.
"I got the woman's menu - there's no prices. "
....
I grab the menu from her, and it has all the items with a number to the right of it. No $'s, and no decimals...just a number.
That is the price... I tell her that.
She is embarrassed (shes really a smart woman, honest) and I can't help but laugh and tell her that her Polish blood is still thick, who knows, maybe those numbers meant how many bites you would get out of it or something
And Story #2 happend THIS MORNING.
This morning she reminds me its Trash day and put everything out.
I roll out the huge can, then go back and get the recycle bin and pick up the boxes/bags next to it to put out on the street.
She backs out of the driveway first, and I put my truck into reverse...but she stops. she gets out and goes through the recycle bin and comes walking back to the house with it. wtf I think, and roll down the window.
Wife : "I just found your christmas present in the recycle bin, you threw it out. "
Me : "What present, where, what you mean?"
Wife : "I hid it next to the recycable bin so you wouldnt find it"
Me : .............. "you're serious ?"
(she was)
