Corndogs + Avocados

“Hey Darin, we’re out of cheddar cheese. Will you have time to go to the supermarket on your way home from work?”

“Totally.”

“Oh, hey, we’re also out of Q-tips.”

“And toothpaste. Do you need anything else?”

“Hmmmm, I’d really like a bag of carrots. You know, just a bag of those little baby carrots.”

Several hours later I get home from work and Darin is doodling away happily at the computer. Drop the backpack on the floor, kick off my shoes, sift through the mail. Then I open the refrigerator door to make myself some chocolate milk and am greeted by this sight:

All the carrots in the whole world.

“Didn’t they have any smaller bags? I mean, this is wonderful. I just… who’s going to eat all those carrots?”

“No! I looked every where. There were definitely no smaller bags.”

“Ok.” Hmmmm… Very strange. I’ve never seen such a big bag of rabbit food.

Several hours later I found all the Q-tips in the whole world sitting next to all the toothpaste in the whole world on the living room table. Then it dawned on me.

“Baby, did you go to Costco?”

“Of course! I had to get razors and I only buy them at Costco.”

Mystery solved. My favorite part of the conversation was when Darin said, after much laughter, “You know, it never even occurred to me that there were too many carrots. I just thought, ‘my wife wants carrots, so I’m buying carrots.’”

I LOVE DARIN!
