I love getting phone calls from Mr. Top Gun. They make my days a heck of a lot brighter, and merely hearing his voice makes me feel all gooey and tingly inside! God, I really miss him! Anyways, here are some of the highlights from our latest conversation the other night... I have one ridiculous and super silly husband!
Conversation One:
Mr. Top Gun: " I got a package from you today."
Me: " Awesome! Did you love the Snyder's peanut butter pretzel's?"
Mr. "Yeah, but when one of the guys saw them, he told me to keep them away from him."
Me: "Why? Is he allergic?"
Mr. "No, he just almost died from them. He was deployed a few years ago, and had a handful of them, he ate them really fast and one ended up puncturing his windpipe, then his lungs."
Me: OMG. That is horrible!
Mr. "Yeah, they flew him to Germany to have emergency surgery, he was in ICU for days."
Mr. "So, I took the bag away from the area he was in right away. That is freaky stuff! But, they are tasty, and I love them!"
Conversation two:
Me: "I finally got the Swine Flu Vaccine today."
Mr. "Really? Where did you get it at?"
Me: "I went to HEB, but the Pharmacist told me I had to reserve a shot. Isn't that retarted?"
Mr. "Well, what did you do about it?"
Me: "I told them you are deployed and we are getting ready to start a family, and that I travel all over the world, so I need the shot today- not next week."
Mr. "So you used me and my deployment and turned it into a sob story, in order to get some drugs?"
Me: "Yep, you betcha. And it worked too! The Pharmacist felt sorry for me."
Me: "Oh, and I have a fever now and I feel kinda icky from it."
Me: "How did you feel after you got it?
Mr. "I felt nothing. And I felt nothing because I am awesome like that. You know that!"
*Yes, you are awesome*
Conversation three:
Mr. "How did you know I needed tissues so badly?"
Me: "Well, you are obsessed with using tissues, and I know you have been kinda sniffly lately, so I thought I would send a bunch in the package."
Mr. "You are a mind reader, then."
Mr. "I am glad you sent them, because flyboy L has been jacking my tissues. His nose is always runny, and he used up all of my tissues which I had to take a hike to the BX for!"
Me: "Didn't his wife send him a care package the other day? You should have taken his tissues."
Mr. "Yeah, but she sent him all Japanese tissues *she is Japanese* and those tissues are itchy and have some weird lotiony crap on them. I don't like them, so I took all the tissues you sent me and hid them."
Conversation four:
Mr. "You know that song, 99 Red Balloons?"
Me: "Yes, why are you asking me this?"
Mr. "Well, the other day during a flight, flyboy C decided to sing it outloud in German."
Me: "How did it sound? Because he doesn't speak German.."
Mr. "It was reallllly annoying, and he did it all day. He sounded weird to me."
Mr. "By the way, How do you say 99 Red Balloons in German?"
Me: "You want me to say it in German to you??"
Mr. "Yes. I want you to sing the verse."
*I proceeded to sing the verse for him. Not once, but three times. Mr. Top Gun let out a laugh I haven't heard since he left home. It made me feel so happy inside to hear that by me speaking German to him, his morale was lifted- just like that.*
He then asked me to sing it again, and then asked me about it in his e-mail the next day. He calls me tonight, so I have a feeling that this shall be brought up in our conversation once again! What a goof :)

Haha, aw! This was cute! I'm glad you were able to make him smile. Homeboy needs to quit jacking his tissues and that one guy...he's scared for life on the snyders.
ReplyDeleteThose conversations are freakin awesome! I was trying so hard not to bust out laughing. I would've but dear husband is sound asleep next to me. It is always good to hear them laugh while they are gone, especially during the holidays!!
