When I saw Christmas 1989, clueless husband and Vhs, my mind and memories were immediately thrust back in time.

For those of you who know DrB you understand the relationship we have of silly banter and nonsense that is part of our lives. To be such a brilliant man, it is if he takes too much pleasure in playing the absent-minded male. Also he will use humor to weasel his way out of things he really doesn’t want to do rather than just say that he rather not do it.

Christmas eve 1989 I had a newborn two day old son. Although he was a whooping 9+ lbs his appetite was not quite up to the abundance of milk my body was producing.

My dear husband was sent on a mission to buy an electric breast pump. I wait patiently at home for the device that was sure to bring my relief.

Three hours later he returns from the store bags in hand. When he comes in the door he is excited to show me his purchase. Imagine my shock and disappointment when he pulls out….
A video camera!!

For starters he obviously went to the wrong type of store and secondly, I think he really wasn’t interested in asking anyone about where to find a breast pump.

At the time I was not amused but it makes me chuckle to think about it and although that video camera brought no relief, it did provide lots of memories.
