You Just Have to Laugh

Earlier this week The Mister told me that we were attending a Gladys Knight concert on Sunday evening. It's part of a fund raising event where he works. I thought, "Great! How fun!"
Fast forward to today. I was out and about running errands and thought I'd call and see if maybe he could meet me for lunch. The conversation went like this...
  • Me ~ Hey, are you really busy? I thought maybe you could meet me for lunch. I still have to go to the grocery, but I'll be done with my errands about 12:30.
  • The Mister ~ That would work. I have to be over that way anyway to pick up my tux.
  • Me ~ ... to pick up what?
  • The Mister ~ my tux...for that concert Sunday night.
  • Me ~ Really?
  • The Mister ~ Yeah. It's "black tie".
  • Me ~ When were you going to tell me that?
  • The Mister ~ I don't know. Why? I didn't think you needed to know until you were getting ready to go.
  • Me ~ You're kidding, right? I was going to wear dressy jeans and a sweater!
  • The Mister ~ Well, you better rethink that.
  • Me ~ Ya think? How long have you known me? laughing...
  • The Mister ~ (ignores the question) We're attending a dinner before the concert, too.
  • Me ~ Well, that's good to know, too!

Perhaps a little black dress in velvet would be more appropriate?

Maybe I'll pair that with my favorite antique amethyst earrings.

Sigh.
