Hubby has the weirdest obsession with plate sets and dishes. When we were registering, after we got engaged, Hubby literally had to drag me kicking and screaming to register for things. I just didn’t care. I don’t know why. I really couldn’t care less what our dishes looked like or how many place settings we had. But, Hubby cared. Boy, did he care. So, it was a big DEAL a few days ago when he accidentally broke one of our everyday plates from our set.
Me: Hubby, it’s no big deal. We can buy another plate!
Hubby: NO, it IS a big deal. We had place settings for 8; now we can only serve 7.
Me ( I know the world is coming to an end right): Hubby, I am sure you can find another plate. Or we can just buy another different kind of plate.
Hubby(clearly obsessed and running to the computer to search): I CANNOT believe I dropped that plate! Damn you ebay…..I can’t find that exact model.
He is still searching as I type. He is obsessed. Weirdo.
I guess now is not a good time to try and re-broach selling our China we got. This is how the arguement usually goes:
Me: Hubby, let’s sell our China.
Hubby: No! We might use it someday!
ME: WE NEVER USE IT. And maybe we can make some money off of it. IT ISN’T even passed down…it is just something from the store!
Hubby: SOMEDAY we are going to use it!
Me: OMG we have been married FOREVER and we haven’t even taken it out of the boxes. It is STILL in your parents’ garage from when it was delivered!
