Stay Golden

My wife and I had just started dating and she told me she bought me a shirt. She swore that I would “love it.” When it arrived, she immediately made me put it on.

My first thought was that I was never going to wear it! I eventually caved and began wearing it around the house. For whatever it is worth, I still have it and it is a very comfy shirt. I don’t wear it in public, but I do wear it. Many times I have to fight my wife for it, as she loves to wear it, too. It has seen better days, and my wife probably needs to buy me a new one.

If I didn’t tell you already, my wife loves the Golden Girls. I wasn’t a huge fan, but watched an episode or two and always felt like Sophia was just like my Italian grandma!

This week, she sends me a text with a photo asking if we could go to a show. It’s a Golden Girls show. I don’t know anything about it, except it is coming close to us a couple times.

My wife and I don’t get date nights too often, so I got us tickets. I looked her in the eye today and said, “So if going to this Golden Girls show doesn’t prove that I love you ….” Before I could get any further she interrupted me and said, “Hey! I went to that stupid Three Stooges Festival with you, remember?!”

That she did.

What’s the song say? “The things we do for love!”

  1. Aw, that’s really sweet!
    My husband and I have similar tastes in music and pop culture, so we have plenty of date nights doing things we love. Once in a blue moon, something comes up that is of no interest to me, and I’ll tell him to go with a friend. 🙂

  2. My mom used to love the Golden Girls, I was indifferent to it…there were a few really fun bits but overall, seemed run of the mill to me. But, it certainly has brought a lot of happiness to it’s diehard fans, right to this day. What was the show you saw…like a play based on it?

  3. I watched it in the early nineties some but it just didn’t stick with me. I liked Bea Arthur on Maude a lot…I like all of them…of course Betty White included.
