French Husband: Barking Up the Right Tree

Antique-locket 

The train was running late, French Husband waited for me at the midnight hour. Greeting him I said, "Hi Doll Face!"

French Husband looking bewildered with his tail between his leg let out a sigh, "Why do you call me Doug Face?"

"Doug Face?" I repeated, trying to figure out what he was saying in English to me. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks, "OH! What? You think I called you Dog Face?!"

He shook his head yes.

"Noooooooooo, I am saying "Doll Face."

To think all these years my husband thought I was calling him Dog Face.

Communication does help you bark up the right tree.

    When did this revelation at the train happen? Recently, so he’s been thinking ALL this time you’re calling him dog face? Poor him.
    “bark up the right tree” — hahaha! You clever girl.
    (PS Sometime would you write about the Mistral for us, explaining your experience of this mystical winter wind?)

  2. Lots of dogs have nice faces, lol…maybe he thought it was a compliment?

    …All these years is right! If it had been me, I would have asked him the first time I heard it.
    The Mistral, okay that I will do.
