Remember when I was surprised at how much my husband loves UNO? I was utterly surprised at how much a grown man can enjoy UNO. Anyhow, I remember being totally surprised. We'd been dating for more than a year and married for months, how could I NOT know he is an UNO fanatic?
Well, I remember my mom being stunned by learning about my dad. Her lesson? He didn't like moo goo gai pan. Yup, basic Chinese dish. Mom almost always ordered it when we were younger. And we'd generally split a large order of it as a family. Well, I must have been in middle or high school when mom learned dad doesn't really like moo goo gai pan. She was pretty stunned. They'd been eating it for probably a dozen or more years without her knowing this.
So, last night, Erik gave me a grocery list to make his famous chili. :) And baby carrots were on the list.
Baby carrots?
What do those have to do with chili, I asked after I got back from the store.
"They make the perfect pre-chili snack," Erik said matter-of-factly.
Oh.
Wesson Wearned? You never stop learning about someone. Not that I ever pretended to know everything about the man I married ... it's actually kinda nice to learn something new every once in awhile. :)
So .... you old married folks, what are YOU still learning about your spouse?
