Room for 2 in the dog house

So I was just getting ready to grab a beer and turn off the 'puter for the evening when the phone rings. It's my father in-law.

Every conversation with my father in-law begins exactly the same way:

Me: Hello?
D: MJ [last name], Don [last name] here. How are you?
Me: Don [last name], I'm grrrrreat. How are you?
D: Faaaan tastic. Never been better!

Always the same script. If it ever varies, I know something is wrong. Tonight's convo started as any other would. Except then he said...

"Well, I'm just calling to wish you and the missus a VERY happy anniversary!"

FUCK! Fuckity fuck FUCK!

Through the doorway, I'm watching the missus in the kitchen getting ready to sit down for a chat with her father and I say to him...

"You know what Don? You're the first person to say that to me today!"

And with that the missus spins around to me and we both cover our mouths in shock and horror. Ooops! Bad lesbians! Bad!

Happy Anniversary Baby! Who loves ya? Smoochahs!

That is so surreal and fucked-up that your pop-in-law has to remind you of your anniversary...

Loves to you and yours. I know your missus doesn't know me or anything, but by proxy I love her, too.

Smooch to the nooch!

"Dad, next year: call me a day EARLY. Don't tell MJ."

Are you kidding me??!! We had a valid reason to entertain ourselves at Banducci's and we've missed it! Well, at least I've missed it. I can hear Liz singing to you now, with Herman Munster starring at you both, and the two of you waltzing to the Anniversary Waltz....Damn, I love the desert!!

Happy Anniversary from Rich and I. We love you both.
