Adding some spice
We all have our obsessions.
My husband's obsession is paper napkins. Yes, you read that right. Paper napkins.
I don't know if he was deprived of napkins as a child, or if he had some horrible experience where he desperately needed a napkin and none could be found, but now he hoards them.
They are everywhere. When I'm doing the laundry I find them in his pants pockets. I open a drawer in the bedroom- filled with napkins. When I open a cabinet in the kitchen they fall all over me.
He doesn't discriminate. As long as they are paper napkins he is satisfied.
He gets them from Dunkin Donuts. 7-11. Pizza places. The deli down the street. The cafeteria at the hospital.
He takes them by the fist full. They bring him some kind of security. And joy.
I really don't get it. I guess I should be happy that he's not obsessed with something horrible, like FOOTBALL.
I'm trying to be supportive.
That's why when he comes home from work tomorrow night I'll meet him at the door wearing nothing but paper napkins.
Hey- whatever it takes to keep it interesting.

That's awesome! My husband collects napkins too but not to that level.
You might be making paper napkins the new cellophane.

My husband LOVEs paper napkins too... especially Dunkin DOnuts & Starbucks. They are in the car visor, the nightstand, pockets of every coat & jacket. It certainly comes in handy when we're at the park & one pf the kids gets a runny nose.
But here's the thing: he also likes football. And baseball. And basketball. wtf?
