It's strange this question popped up.

Just YESTERDAY I was in the computer accessory store with my wife (together 13+ years now) just browsing. She walked off on her own looking for something. I was just loitering around when I saw this really nice looking girl rifling through some items. I was checking her out big time but I was mindful that I had no idea where exactly my wife was - didn't want to get caught, if you must know.

So I looked down one aisle, no wife.

I looked down another aisle, still no wife.

Took a quick peek at the girl again, lovely; panicked, I looked down a third aisle. Still no wife.

Then the girl turned around and said to me, "Baby, should I get this?"

Yeah, that girl I was scoping out like a hornball teenager was my wife. I left the shop scratching my head. Couldn't make heads or tails of what just happened.

I chalk it up for my mind going soft.
