Melanie & Alfred's Marriage

I know this couple, their names are Melanie and Alfred. They have the strangest marriage I have ever seen. Like, *totally* weird. In fact, let me tell you this story she told me. Last Saturday she went and got her hair done. She decided on a whim to chop her hair off. She cut off 6 inches- aka half of a foot of hair. That's a lot, right? Well when she got home she was having a bit of a panic attack. She couldn't believe she chopped her hair off on a whim. Despite her distress, her dear husband Alfred didn't notice for TWO HOURS. Oh no, wait. He NEVER noticed. Two hours later he said, "Your hair looks nice, babe. Did she take any off the bottom?" Exact words. Well, at least that's what Melanie told me. Anyway, so Melanie was slightly bugged with her husband. It brought back painful memories of the time when they played the Newlywed Game (after TWO YEARS of marriage) with some friends and on one of the answers, Alfred put down that Melanie's eyes were brown. Clearly they are not brown. Even I know that. So Melanie was pouting and they went to a wedding reception and came home and she was still pouting. She finally vented all of her frustration to Alfred and he felt a little bad. He asked her what he could do to make her feel better. She thought about it for a while and thought of the perfect remedy: take him outside in the backyard, and spray him down with the hose. Naked. So they went outside and he stripped down and she tested out every single spray on their hose attachment. And he didn't even protest. Then she felt much better. 
Who does that??? What a crazy couple!!!

I freakin love Melanie and Alfred. I knew this was going to be a post as soon as I read the title.

I am so inspired. I know this couple, "Angus & Alice" and they could use more marriage coping tips. Keep the stories coming, please.

Seriously though... brown eyes? That even makes me mad.

Oh gosh. I struggle.

"I knew this was going to be a GREAT post" is what I meant to type.

So so so funny! Next time Wes asks me what he can do to make me feel better, I'm definitly pulling out the hose!

Ha! Your post made me giggle. Quite a bit. :) I'll have to tell my friend Karen about this; I think she'd really enjoy hosing down her husband Devereaux the next time she gets bugged with him!
