A Fridge Speaks

Or rather, the side of our fridge.

After reading this post, I decided to take a gander at ours:

We have a stainless steel fridge whose front doesn’t love magnets. So we use the side, which love magnets. And is where all the detris of our lives seems to land.

Lots of kids’ stuff, of course. Carrie’s going to start prepping for the SATs soon. Lucas likes to go indoor rock climbing. Ellis likes to spell out non-existent words in magneto-letters. A lot of the magnets came from a Girl Scout project we did a million years ago when we made fridge magnets. We ended up with some extras. :-] And countless randomly scrawled phone numbers. Most without any names next to them. One day I’m just going to start calling all those numbers, just so I can put names next to them. “Hi! My name is Jon, your phone number is on my fridge. Do you have any idea why that might be?”

In the middle toward the left, we have instructions for how our kids are supposed to treat their braces. Informative, but maybe kind of gross to have on the fridge.

This part is my favorite, though:

“You need not worry about your future” and “A romantic interlude is in your future.” And that’s a picture of Re from when she was younger. To the left is Jonah in the fall foliage from a couple years ago.

Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

 

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
