I...I think Jenn and I got swapped on this, too. I'm blessed with a really good memory (altho there are times I'm not so sure it isn't a curse). I remember not only our wedding anniversary, but all eight of our kids' birthdays, and their middle names. If I think about it, I can probably get most of their confirmation names, and maybe their godparents. Nah, probably not their godparents. . .<br /><br />I still remember our family's phone number from our house Up North that we haven't lived in for over 40 years (and my HS girlfriend's phone number, just for good measure), and I can tell you all six of my siblings' birthdays, and my parents wedding anniversary, too.<br /><br />I also remember the birthdays of both of my girlfriends before I met Jenn, no matter how hard I've tried to forget them. And believe me, I've tried to forget them; it just sends the wrong message to my Beloved Wife to mention that next Thursday is Old Girlfriend's birthday (see, that's the 'curse' part. . .)Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12044041773404411751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-34065346269803606762015-11-23T14:21:29.671-05:002015-11-23T14:21:29.671-05:00Okay then, fair enough!Okay then, fair enough!Bijouxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05788630004051883635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-54489165730301624182015-11-23T13:38:38.137-05:002015-11-23T13:38:38.137-05:00As long as you remember your & Mrs. Cranky'...As long as you remember your & Mrs. Cranky's wedding anniversary, I'm pretty sure she'll let you live!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-79688212045379273872015-11-23T11:15:52.228-05:002015-11-23T11:15:52.228-05:00This post is spot on.

There will always be things that women do better than men (dates) and things that men do better than women, for instance a lot of men seem to be natural born drivers. Put a 12 year old boy in a car and he knows how to drive it, that sort of thing.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-11160746213469321462015-11-23T00:29:32.304-05:002015-11-23T00:29:32.304-05:00I know what date we celebrate the 4th of JulyI know what date we celebrate the 4th of July(not necessarily your) Uncle Skiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02705753220273516841noreply@blogger.com
