Don’t mess with a pregnant wife!
Posted on 25. Jun, 2008 by Kyle in Miscellaneous
8:15pm: I kissed my wife goodbye as she got in the car to go home. My buddy, Jim Cowart, and I were in the middle of an interesting conversation about politics and government. I told Kristy that I’d wrap it up in 10 to 15 minutes. We were no where close to ending the topic of discussion.
9:42pm: Still talking. Jim’s wife calls. He answers—on speaker phone. All I could hear was the tone in Stephanie’s voice. It didn’t matter what she said. What mattered was, he was late getting home. I hung in suspense as I watched Jim wiggle through the call. It was clear that he made a mistake in not contacting his wife…until she said, “Kristy just called me looking for Kyle…” —oh no.
9:44pm: Whip the phone out of my back pocket like a cowboy drawing his six-shooter. I’ve missed two calls and a text message—oh no.
9:45pm: “Hi babe…” That’s all I got to say before I too, got an earful.
What proceeded to come out of my wife’s mouth for the next few minutes was motivated out of pure concern and worry. I had told her I’d be home and I wasn’t. Her frustration and worry was well deserved. However, out of the frustration came a couple of really funny comments.
Kristy: Have you solved the world’s problems yet?
Kyle: We’re about to. I think we’re getting close.
Kristy: Well good, because you’re gonna have some more to deal with when you get home!
A minute later…
Kyle: Do you want me to bring some chocolate home? Would that make you feel better?
Kristy: You better bring something good home!

Must admit this one really made me laugh – flash backs to our younger years. Way to go Kristy our men need us. Hope you got some great chocolates maybe flowers too.

It’s all pretty funny now but you guys are so lucky you have two wonderful women who care enough about you to be concerned.
I love it that you and Jim have so much to talk about. You’re a very good friend!

We TOTALLY should have taken Steve up on his offer to grab a beer. After all, it was Beer:30…..
