REALLY!!??

My mom has been doing some "spring cleaning" around her house and decided after storing my wedding dress for the last 15 years it was time she handed it back to me. So, I had some spare time yesterday, was in the house all by myself, and decided I was going to try on my wedding dress. Sounds like fun, right? :) I took it out of the box and was admiring it once again. It still looked pretty good for being 15 years old. My first surprise came when I couldn't fit the sleeves over my arms. Huh? Then I attempted to zip up the back, but that attempt was also unsuccessful. By this point I was a bit disappointed. I mean, I know I've had two kids since then and gained a little weight, but...? This was outright depressing. I quickly slipped off what little portion of the dress I actually had on and tucked it nicely back in the box. My husband came inside not too long after this serious disappoint of mine. I shared with him that the dress no longer fit. Do you know what he said? He looked me in the eyes, smiled and said, "REALLY!!??" (I'm sure you had to be there to get the full effect.) He was so kind and acted surprised by the fact that the dress didn't fit.

Despite the fact that I was no longer able to fit into my wedding dress, my husband has come along in his "training" over the last 15 years and knew just how to respond to my comment!
