Like Father…
I blew my allergy-afflicted nose at my in-laws. It was a trumpety-dying cat-moose mating call kind of blow, the only one I know how to do, the blow that had my second grade teacher sending me out into the hall to do so I wouldn’t send the class into giggle fits. I’ve never done it quietly. I don’t know how.
I turned to see my father in law giving me the amused and befuddled “what the hell are you doing?” look, the one that makes you automatically start in with, “I have allergies! They’re bugging me! I always blow like this, ok?! STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT!”
It’s the same look Rob gives me, but older and with more eyebrow, if you can believe it.
it’s ok, amber. my niece blows her nose like that. she’s 2.

I often look at my husband and see my father-in-law staring back at me. Or vice versa. At least I know what I’m in for in 25 years or so.
