In which we talk about the weather

Written last week … posted today … deal with it!

Last night when Kevin and I were brushing our teeth Kevin asked me “what the weather was going to be like tomorrow?” (Which would actually be today right??) I started laughing because Kevin is always asking me about the weather and I NEVER know.  Here’s the history:

My mom was always wondering about the weather and following the weather and knowing about the weather.  This was before smart phones since she’s been gone 15 years so I guess she just either read it in the paper or watched the local news.  I really have no idea and it’s a bit late to ask.  My brother Brad is also all over the weather so Kevin just loves asking me about the weather.  I think I already explained that I never, ever know about the weather.

I mean, I suppose I always know that there will be SOME type of weather, just not specifically what the weather is going to be.  So it is funny that every damn morning Kevin asks me what the weather is going to be for the day.  So, unusually he asked me last night what the weather was going to be today? It’s not unusual he asked, just that he asked at night.

So, back to the story.  It’s night. We’re brushing our teeth (well, I’m brushing my teeth and he’s brushing his teeth.  In no way am I brushing his teeth… YUCK!)

Kevin:             so Lynn, what’s the weather going to be like tomorrow?

Me:                  I have no idea

Kevin:             well check your phone

Me:                  does it look like I have my phone on me?

(Did I mention I was BRUSHING my teeth?)

Kevin:             it’s in this room

Me:                  no, we’re in the bathroom.  It’s in the bedroom

Kevin:             same thing

Me:                  actually, it’s not the same thing

Kevin:             I’m counting it as the same thing

Me:                  well, in either case I don’t have it

Kevin:             can you go get it?

Me:                  what’s wrong with your phone?

Kevin:             it’s in the kitchen.  Not in this room

Me:                  I think I explained mine wasn’t in this room either

Kevin:             well, what’s the weather like tomorrow?

Me:                  and … I still have no clue

Kevin:             please get your phone

Me:                  absolutely not…oh, where’s my water? I need my water

(I needed to take some meds)

Kevin:             it’s next to your phone

Me:                  it is and I’m going to get it

Kevin:             get the phone

(So I go get the water and deliberately don’t get the phone)

Kevin:             so what’s the weather?

Me:                  I didn’t get the phone

Kevin:             you went in there and didn’t get the phone?

Me:                  nope… didn’t get it

Kevin:             now we don’t know what the weather is

Me:                  why do you care?

Kevin:             it’s supposed to be different than today

Me:                  oh.  Are you going to lay out your outfit for tomorrow?

Kevin:             (all put out) No I’m not

Me:                  yes you are.  You wanna plan your clothes for tomorrow like a little girl

Kevin:             that’s not true

Me:                  (by now I’m dying laughing)  You want to plan your clothes!

Kevin:             you’re an awful person

Me:                  I don’t even know why you care

Kevin:             why don’t you care?

Me:                  because every single day I get up, put on some workout pants, put on a sports bra and a t-shirt.  In the winter I add a PolarTec so it doesn’t matter to me what the weather is.

Kevin:             well …

Me:                  and ya know what?

Kevin:             what?

Me:                  you wear the same damn thing every day anyways … khakis and a button down so why do you even care?

Kevin:             (sputtering)  nuh uh

Me:                  I cannot even wait to write this up!

Kevin:             you wouldn’t do that to me

But wouldn’t I folks? I mean really, who the hell cares what the weather is and any day that ends with me making fun of Kevin is a good day right? By the way, it’s sunny and hot … as if!!!!
