a well-trained son

A conversation with the husband:

me: Guess what I just set our luggage-lock combination to!  It’s  three numbers.

the husband: 4-21

me: Oh?

the husband: <sensing the danger>

me: And … what happened on 4-21?

the husband: <thinking> My mom was born.

me: hmm.  That’s not the combination.

the husband: When did we get married again?

Guess he’s not gonna get to wear any clean clothes on our trip …

Well… there are mitigating circumstances that I can not divulge for the sake of our luggage security. But in my defense, I assure you all that it was a reasonable mistake to have made.

I think claiming to forget important dates because of operational security is a valid excuse…
