How do you know you’re only 27 days away from the wedding? When you fight about donuts. Literally donuts. I mean, I know Jesse and I aren’t exactly what you’d call normal, but the other night was a new low (and I mean loooooooooooow).
We were eating dinner and talking about whatever it is we talk about when he broke out the, “I still want to know what a daylight donut is” line. Again. For the millionth time.
Jesse: I still want to know what a daylight donut is.
Me: OMG who cares?!?!? Freaking let it go already!
Jesse: No, seriously. What’s a daylight donut? We have Dude’s Daylight Donuts, Smiley’s Daylight Donuts. All the donut places here are daylight donuts.
Me: It’s not Smiley’s Daylight Donuts. It’s just Smiley’s Donuts.
Jesse: No, I saw the sign. It’s Smiley’s Daylight Donuts.
Me: I saw the production order and listened to the spots – it’s just Smiley’s Donuts.
Jesse: No, it’s Smiley’s Daylight Donuts. And it’s a Daylight Donuts over by Gusano’s. What the hell’s a daylight donut?!?!?
Me: It’s probably just a chain like Dunkin’ Donuts but they let you put your name in front of it! Let it go! Move on with your life! I don’t want to hear about the freaking daylight donuts anymore!
At this point, he stood up and essentially threw a plate on the counter. There may or may not have been more yelling followed by me storming out of the kitchen and into the living room. (Which would be a lot more effective if you couldn’t see the living room from the kitchen. Clearly we need a bigger dwelling place.)
There was about 10 to 15 minutes of silence as I sat on the couch and fumed while he did the dishes and fumed. Then he came over to the couch, gave me a hug, and we both apologized. Of course, a fight isn’t truly over until you dance in the living room to your first dance song and Let Me Ride That Donkey by 69 Boyz. I really hope our walls aren’t thin.
(And because I know the curiosity is killing you, Daylight Donuts is a franchise based out of Tulsa. It was started by the Day family who developed a lighter donut recipe – hence the name. Also, I was right – it’s just Smiley’s Donuts.)
