So yesterday I hollered out (to nobody in particular)
that I needed something of the "feminine" nature...
and urgently.
Luke volunteered.
Pshyeah, like there was any other option.
(Haven't made any of those coveted German errand-runner-nugget-friends yet.)

So Luke had to run across the street from our hotel (in Germany) to a convenience store.
First he had to look the German word up just in case.
(Guess that wasn't in his vocab lists at school.)
Lucky for him it was still "Tampon!"
{FEW!}
I was just glad there was no way he could forget the word during his little trek across the street and
{gasp}
Have to regress to gestures!
On his way out the door he started getting cold feet so I reassured him that if any ladies were in the store, they would DEF have his back.
And they'd be wishin' their man would do that for them.
But I didn't know what dudes do when they see other dudes pokin' around that aisle and bringing that sort of thing up to the register.
So I just gave him a pat on the back and said,
"Go get 'em Tiger! Grrr."
I answered my phone a few minutes later,
only to hear a man that sounded like he was in the library.
It was Luke.
"When I got here there was nobody in the store. But all of a sudden a huge group of people walked in...and nobody's leaving..."
I told him to buy a few other random things and hide the "special box" among the items.
But after a few exchanges back and forth he interrupted and said,
"Oh, no one's up there! I'm goin'."
So I told him I was rooting for him and I'd see him when he got back.
"Not so fast,"
he said,
"we're in this thing together."
Next thing I heard was him hanging his head
as he handed the clerk the box of specials
and saying
"Just this."

Hmmm....rather small box for 16
Yup.They're small alright.
What is it?
A bullet?
A suppository?
No. It's got a wrapper.
It must be candy.
If it's what it's supposed to be,
that's just ... wrong.
Oh!
Duh!
Those silly Germans.
But why would you need a box of 16 nose-plugs?
Unless... YOU'RE MARRIED!
Totally ingenious!
*I love my hubs for going on that little adventure for me!
Thanks, hubs!

That was pretty studly of the guy to do that for you. And...you've never used OBs before? They're the best!
I have honestly never laughed so hard at a blog post in my entire life. You win the prize. That picture...no words :) But how do you still look pretty pulling that face w/a tampon up your nose? Thank you for helping me burn a few calories laughing today.
ps you're tiny
You are hilarious!!! I Love the last pictures. Way to go Luke! Thank goodness for great hubbies!
Thanks for the laugh! What a great hubbs you have!! If it were Jon, I'm sure he would've loved to shout out to the whole store what he was buying, not to mention joke about it with the cashier :)
You are awesome! (so is your hubby for doing that!)
Steph...
That is so awesome. The one and only time Matt did something like that for me was when Scout was born. I was in the hospital there in Okinawa and didn't like the "hospitals version of them." I had to send Matt to the BX to pick up some for me....he wasn't too thrilled but did it anyway. I was very impressed. Unfortunately, the impression only lasted for a while...he refuses to get them now :).
