Craigslist: No, my husband is not for sell...

A few weeks ago I posted some of our furniture for sell on craigslist.  We were moving and hoped to downsize the load we'd have to move with us.  My husband just happened to be in a few of the pictures that I'd posted with the ad.

Imagine my surprise today when I got a call asking if the man in the pictures was single.  "What?," I asked in confusion.  "The man in the pictures...does he come with the couches?  Is he single?"  I paused.  Is this a prank?  Does she have the wrong number?  "What ad are you calling about?  The couches?", I asked.  "Yes.  Does the man come with the couches?  Is he single?"  The crazy thing is there was not a hint of sarcasm in this lady's voice!  I felt confused and stunned, almost as if I've just woken up from a nap and I'm half out of it still.  "Umm...no, he's not single."  "Ugh!! Oookaaay.  Thanks anyways.  Bye."  And she hung up.

The curious thing about this strange call is that in the picture, my husband is actually near a picture of Jesus and our wedding pictures! In one of the photos, he's actually arranging one of our engagement pictures!  People these days!

So you all wanna see these incredibly good looking pictures?!  Feast your eyes...but not too much...he's not for sale!

Ha! That has to be the weirdest phone call ever! ...but you know what they say: You can find ANYTHING on Craigslist. So why not look for a husband there, right?
