The husband and I were driving down the road and I was trying to tell him about a guy I saw in a truck that both he and his dad know:
Me: Hey I saw, oh I can't remember his name but he's your dads friend that always wears that straw cowboy hat with the gray hair. Short guy, hangs around your dad's shop, ah what's his name?
Husband: Tom?
Me: No it's not Tom, you know he gets those big landscape rocks, wears that cowboy hat.
Husband: Tom Rhomas?
Me: No it's not Tom, who is Tom anyway? Come on you know he has that long gray hair, ah what's his name?
Husband: Are you sure it's not Tom?
Me getting frustrated: Honneee, (with an empathise on the nee part) get Tom off your brain, it's not Tom. I think we used to call him Rock Man Ron or something like that, wears a straw hat.
Husband: It's not Tom Rhomas?
Me all riled up: Oh my gosh! Honey, It's not Tom can you just work with me here I know you know him.
Me determined: Honey, he's got that girlfriend...yada, yada yada, His daughter is the same age as our son, yada, yada, yada. He lives by my old school building.
On and on I continue to describe this man and all the husband can say is: Are you sure it's not Tom Rhomas?
A quite pause between us and I'm thinking, "Why is he not getting this?" Then the light bulb goes off and I'm the one finally getting it.
Me: Oh my gosh, it's Ron Thomas ( as I whack him in the arm)
Me: Tom Rhomas, Oh my gosh I can't believe you, (I whack him again as I'm laughing) Tom Rhomas, oh my gosh!
Husband looking at me with a half grin: What about him?
Me still laughing: He wasn't wearing his cowboy hat.
