My wife is a “flippin” Genious

So I was at work the other night late as usual.  Dawn and I have been doing track practice together in the afternoons and she left her cell phone in the car after practice.  Well, I was at church with the computer and her cell phone.  In our circumstances that meant no contact with the outside world for her.  Worse yet, Dawn has been using her cell phone as a way to take pictures of layouts for the scrapbooks we are working on (this is a great tip by the way for you scrapbookers). 

So there was a picture on the phone she needed to complete page layout she was working on.  Then she could remember how it went together exactly.  But I had the phone, and the only way to get a hold of me to get her phone.  So what do you do???

My wife is a flippin Genious.  She went downstairs to the Wii.  Logged on the internet page, and then posted a comment to our Joshua Page about bringing her phone home from the van in between my meetings.  WordPress instantly sent an e-mail to my account notifying me of my new comment.  I went to check it out, got the message, and within ten minutes or less I was standing in the Dining Room handing my wife her phone.  I thought to myself as I was reading the note…”That is quite possibly the most ingenuitive and resourcesful thing I have ever seen”.  I am quite certain that if you dropped my wife into the middle of the Iraq war, she would solve all the problems, organize the oil distribution fairly and quickly, and probably manage to bake delicious Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies all at the same time.

Therefore, yes, my wife is a flippin Genious.  (no explitives to be implied by the use of flippin for those senstive to the explitive substitutes)

  3. I am very impressed with your wife! I did think you were going to tie the word “flippin” into your story like the cell phone “flippin” open or maybe it would be a pancake story since “flippin” was in quotes and all. Better yet you were so impressed with her ingeniousness that you were doing back flips.
    Smiles!
