Made for each other by way of the granola bar

Every now and then a series of events occurs in your marriage that further proves you and your spouse are meant to be together. One day in mid November I was busy getting ready for a couple of late morning classes. I was feeling a little snacky and remembered there were some of those yummy chewy granola bars in the cupboard that Jose had sent us. I opened one, ate half of it, set it down and then immediately forgot where I put it. I considered the fact that I may have finished it, regardless I was still a bit peckish so I started in on the other one. Again I opened the wrapper, ate half, put it down and forgot about it. I finished packing up and left for class.

I didn't think about this again until Nov 26, the day of our TIEC Thanksgiving dinner. There were about 10 of us preparing food in the kitchen and we were discussing the sad fact that my memory was shrinking by at least 50% every week that my pregnancy was advancing. I told everyone about the granola bar incident and that I was sure I didn't finish either bar but had never found them. Then Sean pipes up...it turns out he had come home before me the day I "lost" the bars. He found one half eaten granola bar and ate it without thinking about it. Then some time later he found the other one. He actually thought that it was the first one and that he had forgotten to eat it. So he ate the second one and didn't think anything of it. What a pair! Everyone in the kitchen had a good laugh at our expense and Sean and I weren't really that surprised with the way things turned out. I can see myself leaving the kid behind somewhere and Sean coming along and thinking "here's a cute kid, I think I'll take you home with me!".
