Okay, listen up and stop talking. I have lots to talk about and I haven�t got all night. Bones is coming on any minute. I want you all to play a game with me. It won�t take long. First, you need to got to your kitchen and bring back a box of tinfoil or Saran wrap. It can be generic or a different brand, it doesn�t matter. Go on. Go get it. I�ll wait.
Hmmm
la-de-da-de-da
Oh, you�re back.
Ok, now, I want you to open it and grab the end of the tinfoil/saran wrap. Give it a really quick hard yank. Did it come flying out of the box? Did it?
Okay. Read the rest of this entry and then I�ll tell you the rest of this game. Don�t go to the bottom yet. You�re on your honor.

Terry is just the most romantic man sometimes. He wasn�t feeling well in his stomach around 6:00 last night so he went in to lie down on the bed for a bit. He came out for half an hour or so around 10:00 and went back in. He came back out around 12:00 midnight and rolled over to me for a kiss.
I said; �That�s right. You didn�t go to bed tonight, you went this afternoon so you didn�t get your kiss.�
�I knew I didn�t get it when I woke up, �he said. I know him well enough to know he was waiting for my response.
�Okay, how did you know�
�Because when I just woke up, my lips were puckered up on my pillow.�
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Okay. Now for those of you who didn�t know what I was talking about when I asked you to pull out the tinfoil/saran wrap. If you did like I asked one of the following occurred. You yanked the roll and the roll came flying out, or you yanked the box and squeezed and just the paper came out. Or you already knew what this was about and didn�t do it, or you didn�t give a damn and didn�t do it.
Either way, I found out the most amazing thing today. I will be happy if only one other person tells me they didn�t know either. If two or more people tell me they didn�t know, I will be ecstatic. But if nobody tells me they didn�t know, I will be content in the fact that counting myself and the 8 other people I spoke to today, only one knew. And that was my kid. She figured everyone knew.
Are you ready?
If you look at the end of any box of tinfoil or glad wrap you will see a square, triangle or other shape that has teeny, tiny writing says, �push here to lock roll� Yes, folks, for 54 years I never knew that you could lock that roll to keep it in the box. I want you to tell me if you already knew that. Please be honest. I wouldn�t lie to you.
