ON THE BACK BURNER

I do not know why I never noticed this before. We have been married for 63 years. I know that I am often not observant about things around me, but this is different.. And serious. Corn.Bob eats his as if it is the roller on an old typewriter. I go around and around. I hadn't realized how different we are. I hope that this won't make a difference in our long term relationship. I don't why I never noticed his corn eating behavior before. I'm not sure I can overlook this. We are on the same page with politics. We agree about our Religious and ethic beliefs. But corn. We even eat pizza pretty much the same way. Start at the point and work our way to the crust edge. I know that some New Yorkers eat pizza by folding it in half and going at it that way. Come to think about it, he really isn't that good with spaghetti. I'm beginning to question this relationship. Maybe I just won't watch while he eats corn. Can this marriage be saved? Not a problem. We'll share a can of corn niblets.
