The Sweet Husband

The Sweet Husband and the Cliff

As we were going to Missouri, the SH had a few stomach problems, nothing severe, but when he had to go, he had to go.
Right after we entered the state, he pulls off the Interstate and drives up to the top of a rather large hill and pulls over to the side of the road and says I have to go now, open the back door and your door and I will come around and get in between them.

As I got out of the car, I tell him, there is a huge cliff here and you parked so close I am having to put one foot in front of the other to keep from falling, you cannot come over here!!

He screams MOVE and I got out of his way, and I go around to his side of the car, almost in tears, I just know he is going to fall, he is so unsteady and this cliff has huge rocks all the way down it, he is going to be badly hurt and  how the heck will I tell 911 where we are.

I get to the other side, roll both windows down on the passenger side so that he can at least hang on, and as I look over there, the man is naked!! I scream at him, why the hell did you strip your clothes off, and he doesn't even pay attention to me. Trucks going by on the Interstate are blowing their horns.

I start to laugh, then cry, then laugh and he slips, as he wraps both arms through the open windows, I start to run around the car, panic flashing through my head as to how I can help him not fall and not fall myself. Just as I get to the back of the car, he manages to pull himself upright.

As he gets dressed, he says honey, I stood up so fast I got dizzy,  and I reply, that saved me  from having to explain to the police why my 70 year old husband is laying stark naked at the bottom of a cliff 750 miles from home! He says promise me if that should ever happen, you don't tell them I had to use the bathroom, tell them we stopped for a little romance and I fell.

You just can't help but love this crazy man.
