In response to my previous post on unmet expectations, my wife Paige has informed me that I made a grievous error in something I stated.
Her informing me of the error went something like this…
As I was getting ready to go for my morning jog, I had gotten out of bed, changed into some running clothes, and stepped back into the bedroom. Standing beside the bed, I bent down to give her a kiss on the cheek, and then told her: “I’m going running. I’ll see you when I get back.”
She slightly opened up one eye, glared at me with it, and said to me in all seriousness: “I am not a blanket-stealer.”
Her further defense:
She says she does not steal the blanket, but that the fault rests completely on me, since I kick the covers off of myself and throw them onto her in the middle of the night. She asserts that at that precise moment the blanket becomes fair game for her to do with as she pleases, and I have no right to re-claim it or complain.
She might have a point. What do you think?
