A day in the life...

by Kara Mann

Act I
Scene: 7:45pm at the Mann's apartment, Jim-Jim sleeping, Jim out getting dinner for the family, Kara typing an email

[sound of phone]
Kara: [picks up phone] "Hey, baby"
Jim: "I'm here at Jack in the Box. What would you like to drink? Fanta orange or a chocolate shake?"
Kara: "Ooooh, Fanta orange!" Begins salivating in anticipation of her tasty beverage.

Time passes.

Jim: Enters with dinner. "Hi, honey." Sets dinner on the coffee table and attempts to place the drinks in their repective spots.

[Crash!]

Fanta orange flies everywhere, soaking Jim-Jim's bouncy, soaking Kara, and soaking the carpet!

Exit Jim in a huff

Act II
Scene: 8:20pm at the Mann's apartment, Jim-Jim sleeping, Jim out getting a drink for Kara, Kara cleaning up Fanta orange while Bailey licks Fanta off the carpet

Enter Jim triumphantly carrying a 2-liter bottle of Sunkist orange.
Jim: "I'm sorry, baby, but I fixed it." Jim pours Kara the largest glass of Sunkist orange imaginable, smiling.
Kara: "That's okay. Oh, crud! I can't drink Sunkist! It has caffeine in it."
Jim, panic-stricken, examines Sunkist bottle closely.

Exit Jim in a huff

Act III
Scene: 8:45pm at the Mann's apartment, Jim-Jim sleeping, Jim out getting a drink for Kara - again, Kara typing this blog, laughing at her simple husband.

Enter Jim with grocery bags full of 2-liters of Fanta orange and other accoutrement. No words are exchanged, just a glance at each other that says "Are we going to get to eat now?"

Jim unloads the groceries and pours Kara a big glass of Fanta orange. Jim and Kara finally sit down and eat cold French fries and hamburgers.

Husband Law 1: Sunkist orange has caffeine!
Husband Law 2: Next time, just get the chocolate shake. She'll drink it, and like it.
