A conversation

I remember as clearly as if it was yesterday. A month or so ago my husband was on his way out the door with a dozen or so beach towels.

Me: What are you doing with those?
Andrew: Covering up the plants. They are calling for a frost tonight. Don't worry, I'll wash them when I bring them back in.
Me: Um..

This afternoon I was attacking the pile of cardboard that has accumulated in my garage thanks to my little online shopping addiction. What did I find but a giant box full of damp musty beach towels? Hmph.
