Incompetent!

As a joke, Jeremiah and I like to blame things on each other.  That's a good habit in marriage, right?  Any time one of us forgets to do something simple like take the trash out of put our shoes away, we blame the other for our own mistake, claiming the other to be "incompetent!"  This fun and healthy habit didn't just start after we were married, though.  A couple of years ago we went to see a John Mayer concert in Dallas with friends.  We were planning to ride the DART train over to Dallas so we could avoid the whole parking mess at the AAC.  We met our friends at the DART station and climbed aboard the train.  My cousin Lauren jokingly asked us, "Do you have your tickets?"  We both nodded our heads and looked at each other thinking the other one grabbed the tickets when in fact neither of us had.  In that moment we realized the tickets were in the car one train stop back.  We jumped off the train and walked the couple of miles back to the car to grab the tickets.  We caught a later train and still made it in plenty of time.

"You were supposed to grab the tickets."  

"No, you were supposed to grab the tickets."

Needless to say, we've had other experiences like this.  An especially memorable one was on our honeymoon.  When the ship docked in Cozumel, we went through the waiting of getting off of the ship.  As we walked down the dock, I wanted someone to take our picture with the ship in the background.  I asked Jeremiah for the camera, but he thought I had it.  Of course.  After running back to the ship and up the corridors back to the room for the camera we had to ask someone to document the moment.

"You have the camera."

"No, you have the camera."

I guess we're both incompetent.
