Oh! No! Not My Mocha!

My husband walks through the door from work today and says, "I'm really sorry. I stopped by the coffee shop to pick you up a mocha, but it was closed."

"Closed? Oh, because it's Valentine's Day?"

"No...because they are ...doing...construction..."

"Construction!!?!? You're kidding?"

"Nope...construction...looks like they are really changing things in there...and they won't be opening..."

I cut him off, "...construction...geesh...I should have just given up mochas for Lent! I can't believe they are closed for construction..."

"...they won't be opening until...." he tries to continue.

"...I mean, they are closed..that's just tragic...what am I going to do without my mochas...I mean..."

"...opening until the 16th..."

"Oh my gosh, not till almost the end of Lent?!?! The 16th of March?!"

My husband snickers, "...February 16th."

We head out to dinner and have to walk by the Starbucks on our way.

I chime in again, "Well at least it's only a couple days... whew! I can't believe you had me thinking it was going to be closed for ~EVER~..."

"Oh yeah, well they are really changing things...they've got all kinds of clothing racks in there..."

"Clothing racks??? Whoa! I wonder why in the world they have clothing.racks in there??!...Really? They have clothing racks in there??"

"No," and he snickers again.

My Valentine is very much a smarta$$.

Yes, it's never funny to come between an addict and their mocha. Tell him you gave up sex for Lent - see how he likes that.
