I SHOULD be catching up on the dishes that are rapidly piling in my sink. Instead I'm checking facebook and catching up on my blog-reading. It reminded me of a completely unrelated story.
There is a man at church in his late 30's. He's a very nice guy but had a hard time finding a wife. I shall call him Ernest. Because Ernest is such a kind, quiet man, some of the older women at church thought they should help him to find a girlfriend. So they frequently set him up with granddaughters, friends' nieces, etc. None of them worked out. Fortunately, a lovely girl named (I'll call her) Amanda entered the picture and they are now happily wed!
However, Ernest and Amanda do have one slight problem. The well-intentioned older ladies are having a hard time remembering the previously mentioned union. They keep trying to set Ernest up on dates! One will find him alone in the hallway at church and start talking up the most recent potential match, and he has to awkwardly explain that he is unable to date any longer due to his recent marriage. These women do know about Amanda, but they figure he's game until the knot is tied--which is the part of the story they keep forgetting.
Amanda is a very patient and understanding woman.
