Mary,
This is a witty poem. The husband must not have been thinking or it was a horrible practical joke. They didn't have to leave the store. But it was a good punishment for the husband to have to wait for his big screen TV.
Congratulations of placing third in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy

Thank you for your review and kind words. Not a joke, sometimes he just has a disconnection and takes what I say too literally.
Best wishes,
Mary

My pleasure. I can see how this can lead to more of these embarrassing moments.

Comment from Olivanne Marsh
Good luck in the contest. This is one of those it's funny now, but was embarrassing when it happened stories, isn't it? I had to smile, I've been in a few similar situations with children...embarrassing, but funny too. Good thing you have a sense of humor, we all need one. Asperger's or not, life often reminds us how funny we are.

This is a good example of concise wording. The story is short but leaves no room for misunderstanding. Your husband is too much like me, I'm afraid. In every way, innocent and loving. It is good to know my wife is not alone in loving husbands like us.

Thank you for your very kind comments and review.
It makes life more fun and interesting to have a husband who sometimes is a little out of kilter, like the time he sat on an ice cream cone!
Best wishes and regards.

This is a great true flash story. Funny little things like this happen at some point to all of us. I know you had to chuckle, because you DID say, "Meet me inside." Your husband took it literally. Best wishes in the contest.

Comment from Bill Schott
This story, What Was He Thinking, is a funny capture of just one of the slices of life that perhaps fall out of the norm. One can imagine the scene you described.

You must have been flustered when this happened. It makes a great story, though. Congratulations on having this recognized. Thanks for sharing your story here, and best wishes to you.

Comment from Earl Corp
When I was taking a special education course in college the professor made the statement Asperger's students are a hoot. I'm pretty sure an incident like this is what she was referring too. Good luck in the contest.

Thank you Earl, I appreciate your review. My husband does have some quirks. If, for example, Syria is in the news, I will hear the whole history of the country for hours, and sometimes, he will begin the next morning where he left off the night before. It gets stuck in his head and in my ears. If I try to stray him off by changing the subject, it only works for a few minutes, then he will go right back to his story.
Best regards,
Mary

A great entry for the true flash story. Very humorous. The note adds an additional layer of explanation and humor to the situation. Well-crafted flash fiction, Mary.

Thank you for your kind words. Yes, he is highly intelligent, but once in a while, he does go off the tracks, but nothing serious, like telling him to put an ice cream cone in the car and he gets distracted, he then sits on it. (he was
supposed to get in the car with the ice cream.)
Blessings,
Mary
