Warning... BRITISH immigrant potential squatter.

The immigration officer asked him a very simple question, “When’s your wife’s birthday?”

“Umm.. December 21st…”

I must have looked at him with death rays that could tear him in half. His next response was, “Oh no…”

Let’s just say if we had been on a Newlywed game show… we so would have lost. The officer then left for just a moment to make some copies. He came back to find the hubby hugging me, while I cried, saying “sorry”. When he asked me what was wrong, I blubbered “he forgot my birthday.” (Yes, I was as pathetic as it sounds. But I don’t think we could have looked more “marital” and “honest”.)

Luckily he felt bad. “Really, really, really bad”, as he put it. And it’s ‘luckily’, because he agreed to a just punishment.

A birthday present on the 20th of each month for the rest of the year. (I don’t think he’ll mess up on the date again.)

And besides…the immigration officer did say he should “make up for it”.

Damn, skimpy, straight.

On another note… same subject.

The hubby said the day before last, “they really aren’t nice to immigrants in this country, are they?”

“Nope.”

“But this country was FOUNDED by immigrants.”

“Yup.”

“But…but….” In a disbelieving huff.

“I know, I know… now you know what we go through. Everyone from poor Mexicans and on… and why they fight so hard.”

Damn, skimpy, straight.
