Kiss and Tell

08.30.2012 was my parent's 49th anniversary and I did not call my mother.  August stresses me out so much!  Yes it is my birthday is in August but so is everyone else's, I swear, plus getting ready for the summer to end and my parent's anniversary.  It is seriously hard to keep up.  But I did speak with my mother today and told her that I hope she had a wonderful anniversary and that I intentionally did not contact her so that she could enjoy some private time with my dad.  Trust me she did not buy it for a second but I thought I would give it a shot, and I think I am humorous.  Well she then proceeds to tell me that when she woke up my father gave her a kiss and said, "I think today is our anniversary."  OMG I died when she told me this.  She one up'd me for sure as I was laughing so hard.  My dad is not forgetful, it is just that he is not very mushy so that is about as mushy as you are gonna get, especially after 49 years!  Even my mother was laughing over the story.

I took these pictures when I was in MA back in June.  A bunch of us went out to dinner and I started taking pictures - of course.  And I told my father to kiss my mother because I was being evil and I know how painful it is for him.  He is not mushy and does not like attention (yes I am my mother's son) - that is why my mother is laughing so hard in the picture.  That plus she knows he know just does whatever he is told.  When I am there my siblings are like how do you get him to do stuff and I am like "I just tell him to do it?!?".  Anyway he did kiss her in the restaurant and I took the picture to prove it.  

You know "for better or worse" is so true and with all the ups and downs in 49 years they do love each other and make it work.  I don't judge, I just annoy LOL.
