My Instead: Annette and I had a nose measuring contest.
What does any couple do on a slow Sunday morning? They measure the
lengths of their noses, of course! Annette and I both have honkers that are nothing
short of...long. Never quite arguing about whose is the shortest (or longest), we’ve
just agreed that neither of us is lacking in the schnoz department.
However, my curiosity got the best of me and I had to end this mystery! Annette,
always the willing subject (well, most of the time), shot me her perplexed look
as I rushed to get my measuring tape. Placing the end of the tape right between
her eyes, we measured down…2 3/8 inches. Upon her insistence, I measured several
times to insure it was accurate. My turn. We carefully placed the end of the
tape measure between my eyes and came up with 2 1/4 inches. Who won? We both
did! Yes, we got the measurements, but it was the process that counted…not the
number at the end of the nose. We had a lot of laughs and got to know each
other just a little bit better. And I’m not talking about our “measurements”.
