Saturday, December 06, 2008Real Men Wear Baby Blue MittensWe got our Christmas tree last night. Naturally, it was extremely cold. Well, okay -- "extremely" as in "I've lived in the South for 20 years and my body can't take any temperature below 40 degrees." And honestly, it was hovering around 30. So, yeah. Cold. My dear husband, of course, left the house without his gloves. Not that riffling through Christmas trees and standing in the 30-degree weather holding up tree after tree for the family to debate over is going to warrant warm hands or anything. Nah. So by the time we got to the second tree, Eric's hands were hurting. Maggie stepped in, producing an extra pair of mittens from within her coat pockets. "Here, Daddy. Put these on." She held out the baby blue, oh-so-soft-and-stretchy, girlie mittens to her father. Eric hesitated. "No, I'm okay, thanks." "Daddy, TAKE THEM." Eric hesitated some more. Then his cold hands won the battle. He took the mittens and squeezed his hands into them. They looked really nice with his black leather jacket. Of course he launched into a silly, effeminate dance to show off the mittens. Or maybe he was showing off his manliness. Because, you know, real men aren't afraid to wear their daughter's baby blue mittens when their hands are cold. I love my husband. |
