Wednesday Scott and I had a meeting to attend and then afterwards we hit up Target really quick for a few things.\u00a0 Why I can only find Tide Free HE at Target is beyond me, but it is what it is.<\/p>\n

When we go to Target we split up because I want to scan the workout aisle and also the sales racks.\u00a0 Oh and shoes.\u00a0 Scott doesn’t want to look at that stuff and quite honestly I don’t want him up my butt as I’m checking out the 50% off deals.\u00a0 Once I was done looking at stuff, I headed into the men’s section to check on deals there and see if there was anything for Scott.<\/p>\n

I don’t know about your man but mine, if left to his own devices, will never ever<\/em> find anything that he likes.\u00a0 Yet when I rewalk the section with him pointing stuff out, I get the “Oh I didn’t see that.”\u00a0 “Yeah that’s alright.”\u00a0 “Okay, that’s cool.”\u00a0 Basically it comes down to the fact that he doesn’t really look.\u00a0 This has led to me to just send him off to the tech section and then I’ll go through myself picking stuff out for him.\u00a0 When I’m ready to hook back up with him, I’ll send a text asking where he is. Lord what did we do before cell phones?\u00a0 Did we just wander the store aimlessly searching for our loved ones?<\/p>\n

That is a long winded explanation of what I’m about to show you which is a text conversation we had with each other in the store Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n

Setting: Me looking at men’s T-shirts at Target, trying to decide which one to pick up for Scott.<\/em><\/p>\n

Me: Hey, Xmen, justice league, ironman&wolverine?<\/p>\n

Scott: Is that a question? JL is DC comics, the others are Marvel.<\/p>\n

Me: What do you like DC or Marvel?<\/p>\n

Me: Dork.<\/p>\n

Scott: I’d choose xmen probably.<\/p>\n

Me: Figured.<\/p>\n

Me: Where you at?<\/p>\n

Scott: Behind you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It was at this point a sales person asked if he could help me find anything and I explained that no, I already found what I needed.<\/p>\n

Make sure you take note of Scott’s response because let’s be real, that is a total dorktastic answer.\u00a0 I’m asking a simple question and all the sudden we need to be clear that there is a distinction<\/em> and that we can’t just throw superheros together now.\u00a0 There are rules!<\/p>\n

Yes my husband was a comic person.\u00a0 We have boxes of his comics that go with us every time we move. Those boxes are heavy and awkwardly shaped.\u00a0 Scott is a dork (a hawt one though!) and really he doesn’t ever try to hide that.\u00a0 He is who he is and he is very comfortable with himself.\u00a0 I love that!<\/p>\n

Because of him, I have fallen into the dork category.\u00a0 He brought me over to the dark side.\u00a0 Granted I’m not as knowledgeable as he nor will I ever be.\u00a0 But after 13 years together, here are some of the things I know:<\/p>\n
