My Husband and I

By Pearl Kline

My husband always claimed to have an excellent sense of direction. Yet any time we would go to visit a friend who lived in a new area, in spite of written directions we would get lost and we were the last guests to arrive. The reason? He always knew a short cut. Of course, if he wasn’t so stubborn about asking for directions all the unnecessary driving would be avoided. But that was out of the question. I finally made him stop at a gas station for instructions back to the right road. Once we got there, he turned to me and said, “See I told you I’d find it!

We were visiting my sister and getting ready to leave at which time she remembered she had to pick up her medications at the drugstore and would my husband mind dropping her off. The store closed early because it was Sunday. She gave him the directions, but he knew a shorter way to get her there, which turned out to be much longer, and when we finally got there, the store was closed.
