family portrait, originally uploaded by seemownay.
This is a funny story. And since it happened in English, it is also just going to be written in English. (Sorry, Mom.)
When I found out about this whole craft blogging community all around the world (I am still impressed) about four months ago, I did not restrain myself to German blogs only. I went and read globally as you can find out when following my link list. One woman wrote about hubby. I just read it there and started to wonder what name this was short for. Hubert, maybe?
Then I read hubby in another blog. What, I thought, strange coincidence. Another Hubert. The explanation for this was found easily - the women probably similar age had husbands with similar age too and strange name Hubert must have been quite popular then.
Strangely the hubby thing did not limit itself to two blogs, more and more women had hubbys and suddenly it dawned on me. I felt so stupid. It took me almost a month to find out that hubby wasn’t short for a specific name, it was short for husband.
You just read one of those stories that only happen to me.
On a side note: These little guys up there represent our family, hubby is the guy with the red hat. I am the big blue girl - what does that say about us? (Big L is the green one, little j the yellow guy.)
