Last night my husband had some homework: he had to come up with 5 things no one at his work knows about him. Every month or so they have these "creative" meetings to keep the juices flowing (he works at an advertising agency). He asked me to help, but I only contributed to one of them--and I ended up learning 3 things about him I had never known in almost 7 years of marriage!
Here's his list:
1. I was the 100-yard-dash champion at every field day from kindergarten through 5th grade.
2. I have never had a cup of coffee.
3. I once hiked 40 miles in 3 days.
4. I won Amy Grant tickets from a radio station when I was 11.
And finally the kicker-
5. When I was little I helped my grandfather drown a 3-legged cat because it was violent (the cat).
My reaction? Number #1 makes me secretly proud. Numbers #2 and 3 I already knew. Number #4 makes me a little embarrased. Number #5 makes me want to sleep in the guest room tonight.
What else don't I know? What don't you know about yours? Better yet, what don't they know about us?

1) I've crapped my pants as an adult.
2) I can't sleep on airplanes
3) I once had a 16 oz. ribeye, baked potato, asparagus, 2 bottles of wine, and a double bacon cheeseburger combo meal with fries and chocolate shake from Whataburger in one evening.
4) I did not eat for 36 hours after #3 above.
5) I won $1200 with a $40 initial investment the first time I played blackjack. I've lost money every time since.
My husband exposed a similar #5 not to long ago. Apparently a few years back on a job site there was a nest of baby birds that was in the way of progress. They died in an unknown manner. I know! I cried and couldn't talk to him for a while after learning that.
Oh and thanks for your sweet comments.
1. I won the long jump at field day in second grade, I think.
2. I have never seen E.T.
3. I wet my bed once in college (the dream was SO REAL!)
That's all I can think of.
I can't beLIEVE Greg drowned a cat. A handicapped cat at that! He is so going to burn...
I simply cannot understand non-coffee drinkers.
First of all, how can you be married to someone who does not worship at the altar of Maxwell House?! For shame.
Secondly, I find out new things about Niles almost every day. Weirdly large revelations that force me to sit and stare blankly at him... as if to say "who the hell..."
Thirdly, I'm almost certain Niles killed or abused several different forms of animals. Maybe it's a guy thing. My little brother drowned a bunch of baby hamsters in a glass of water when he was 3. He was giving them a bath. Blame the grandfather... and then never let Noah near your in-laws. =)
(just kidding in-laws!!)
There are 20 years between my husband and me. There are things about him I do NOT ever want to know. Ignorance is bliss, sometimes.
As for cats, I once witnessed my uncle shooting a tomcat with a rifle. It flew in the air! It was because the cat was eating the baby kittens. To me, he got his just desserts.
It's so interesting what you find out!
Take care,
Amy
Laughing out loud at this post!! A little disturbed, but mostly laughing!!!
