My husband is so funny! My friend, Amy W. in WI, sent me an email about Eat, Sleep, Knit’s plans for next year. I read it and I said “Yes!” Vince wanted to know what I was reading and I told him. I said “How does she know all this? She must spend more time on the computer than I do!” He said “NO!” and then I proceeded to tell him that a whole lot of the yarn I bought this year was her fault. Here’s how the conversation went from there.
Vince: Is that your friend who you met at the quilt retreat?
Me: No, that’s Denise.
Vince: Doesn’t she live in WI too?
Me: Yes.
Vince: Is that your friend who’s husband put the smoke alarm in the fridge?
Me: No, that’s another Amy in WI.
Vince: Is that the one who’s daughter wrote the funny story about the turkey?
Me: No! That’s the same Amy who’s husband put the smoke alarm in the fridge.
Vince: Does the Amy you’re talking about have a husband?
Me: Yes!
Vince: What does he think about all the yarn she buys?
I wanted to say “Maybe he’s a nice husband and he doesn’t complain” but I said “You’ve asked enough questions for one day!”
Who would have thought that he remembered that much about my internet friends?

My Guy is exactly the same. If I start laughing about something on a blog he wants to know what and who. He can’t keep them all straight either. Though it does make for some entertaining conversations. Of course, once I get it all explained to him, the teenager starts up with her questions. At least they kinda, sorta pay attention.
Amy (Waunaknit) says
What does my having a husband (or not) have to do with it?!?! That’s too funny! I was going to say I’m the Amy with goats but so does the other Amy. You could tell him I’m the Amy with the big, fluffy white dogs.
BTW, Chad doesn’t mind all the yarn packages. He probably only sees half of them though. ;0)

He’s wanting me to say that someone else’s husband gives them a hard time about the amount of yarn they buy! 🙂
Sherry V. says
My DH is the same way. I’ll start talking about something that you wrote about and he’ll say. . . “Oh, is that Judy that said that?” Or I’ll be saying something about something else that I read and he’ll start going through other names of bloggers that I read.
It’s pretty scary that he remembers all my internet friends. . . but can’t remember to let the dogs in the house when it is raining!! LOL
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Denise says
Oh sure – he’s trying to blame me first! LOL
Sherrill says
That Vince..he listens; he really, really listens. HA
Amy (NW WI) says
HA! ^^At least Amy W has a memory trigger idea; she’s the one with the GORGEOUS big fluffy dogs 🙂
Oh Judy—this was a fun one to read. Thanks for sharing!
Dar in MO says
Be thankful that he “does” pay more attention than you think. I have the opposite scenario, I have to explain who someone is about 2 days after he meets them at our house. He just says, I can’t keep them straight!
Regina says
LOL – he must think you know an awful lot of knitters named Amy!!! Too funny!
