The scene: Husband has received free gift of a Walkie-Talkie set from credit card company.
Husband informs me that "these will be perfect when we go out on the lake this summer!" "When I'm out on the boat, I can just call you on the dock...they work for 8 miles. Let's try them out!"
So, for research purposes, husband goes out driving, Walkie-Talkie in hand. I stay behind in the garage with my half of the set, ready to bust out my best trucker-lingo.
Here is what our neighbors heard:
HUSBAND: *beep* Can you hear me?
ME: *beep* Breaker breaker one-nine, I read you loud and clear. *hysterical laughter*
HUSBAND: *beep* Can you HEAR ME?
ME: *beep* The cake lady is down, THE CAKE LADY IS DOWN (inside joke, long story...). *more hysterical laughter*
HUSBAND: *beep* Stacey. CAN YOU HEAR ME?
ME: *beep* Yes. And you are NO FUN.
HUSBAND: *beep* Well, they work. Awesome!
Ten minutes later:
ME: *beep* Short & Squat to Long & Tall...do you read me? *collapsing with laughter*
HUSBAND: *beep* Nice, Stace.
ME: *beep* They're our new handles. Don't you love it?
HUSBAND: *beep* Sure. I'm out.

I just love your new "handles". Convoy was one of my favorite songs during my long gone teen years and I can hear it playing in the background as you and Seth converse on your walkie talkies. You on the dock in your lounge chair and he in the boat. There has to ba a commercial in here somewhere!
