Delayed confessions

Last night I made a confession to Julie.

It went down like this:

Me: Julie, you know how a few months ago I was talking about Tibor and how he's a bad influence on me?

Julie: {nods}

Me: And you remember how the first words out of your mouth towards me was a very strong 'No'?

Julie: {again nods}

Me: Well, when you said that I was so afraid, that I didn't mention that I already had.

Julie: {double takes}

Me: That's right, I bought had bought an iPod Shuffle that morning.

Julie: {looks stunned}

Me: I was so scared, because of your reaction, that I couldn't tell you I had bought one that morning.

Julie: {starts laughing}

What did I learn? I learned that if your wife has laryngitis, that's the best time to tell her something she may not like to hear. I also learned that a geek's gadget-it is is very hard to cure. I really shouldn't have bought it in the first place, but I did.

So, add one more resolution: No more gadgets for a while!
