I finally got my husband to play along while we were on vacation - imagining where the people are from, how they're all connected, and why the one girl smells of strong laundry soap.

He clearly wanted everyone to hear him, so of course I turned him into a short story. <BR/><BR/>I wasn't very nice to him, either.WendyCinNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15548500219172368038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1178848256551614320.post-90573821944415854622008-08-31T13:36:00.000-05:002008-08-31T13:36:00.000-05:00Great post.
