A very predictable Husband looks handsome and un-mysterious on a Spring day
This morning while I sipped my first coffee, he challenged me: "You'll never guess what I found in the basement this morning." My mind went immediately to dead mice, errant snakes, and a category of huge, venomous spider. "Three balls the cats batted through the old plumbing holes."
"Oh," I voiced unimpressed.
"Guess what else I found," he teased.
"What?" I answer mystified.
And here it comes, the tense still moment before the perfectly unexpected answer, "My lower dentures!" without blinking an eye. Bingo, I didn't see, hear, or smell that coming, I thought.
But with Husband, looks are deceiving!
It seems the dentures went missing several years ago and to Husband's chagrin, he had to purchase new ones.
In the past, I have located his glasses hanging from a tree limb, his perpetual runaway cell phone on the ground by a neighbor's lawn chair, and the cat litter he placed in the refrigerator because it looked like a milk carton. But this was new heights even for him. Now he has a backup set of lowers if he chooses to use them. Another deep mystery has been solved, except how the dentures got there in the first place. That we may never know, but speculation is endless.
