Sometimes Husbands Are Silly...

Russell and I have been married for nearly four years, it's hard to believe! If you know Russell at all, you know that he can be silly. In fact, he's USUALLY silly! The past few years I have learned not to be too shocked by the things that he does...but every once in a while he catches me COMPLETELY off guard.

Like the first time he got a tiny hole in his sock a few months after we got married... He yelled "NOOOO!!!" then stuck his finger in that hole, and ripped his entire sock right off of his foot. Then he wandered around Snow Hall for the rest of the day wearing only one sock. Why? Because he is silly!

Or the time he told me that he wanted to buy a tent. I agreed, and he ordered one online. A couple weeks later I was at work and I got a text asking me to check the mail. To my surprise, we had a 35 pound package in a big awkward box. Yeah, 35 pounds. And it was waiting for me to carry it three blocks home to our Castilleja apartment. Anyway, why would my husband buy a TEN man tent for just the two of us? Because he is silly!

As you can imagine, there have been a lot of things that have surprised me, but last night I think he topped them all! After we finished watching a movie he asked me to look at a bump on his head. He turned and crouched down a little so I could see it better, and much to my surprise....

 
Yep, he did in fact create a bald spot approximately the size of a nickel! While watching a movie, he pulled out each individual hair with his handy blue tweezers. Why would he do this, you ask?
 
BECAUSE HE IS SILLY!
 
And I wouldn't have it any other way... :)
 
Don't worry, tonight we found a brown marker in the desk drawer and he allowed me to color on his head. It actually did make it look a little bit better...
