During an episode of Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy, Stanley was with a chef who was making a dish using just-harvested scallops.
I paused the TV to pick up several toys Piper had thrown on the floor. As I bent to gather them, my husband said, “I don’t think I knew that scallops come out of a shell.” My head snapped so quickly in his direction it is astonishing I didn’t break my neck. All I could do was stare. I don’t know if it was my reaction or his own epiphany, but Mister Rain chuckled, the realized error evident in its sound.
“Are you okay?,” I asked. ”I mean, ARE YOU OKAY?!”
Now he was full-out laughing, lowering his head to his chest in embarrassment. His hands went to cover his face. “I am not going to live this one down.”
I sat back down and we resumed the show, but not for long as I couldn’t stop thinking about what had just occurred. Stopping the TV again, I incredulously declared, “I don’t think you’re okay. And by association, that means I’m not okay.”
I began to giggle., then my husband started laughing again and couldn’t stop.
That’s marriage for you. One minute you are swimming along, happy as a clam, and the next minute you are completely unhinged.
