Gettysburg Address - my favorite moment today

Wanna know a secret?

My favorite moment today was when my husband came into my office (we both work from home, and we each have an office) and picked up an empty rectangular box… looked at it, then put it on his head and indignantly said “You don’t even care about my stovepipe hat! I’m Abraham Lincoln!” and then…“Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation…”

I was laughing by then. And so was he… because he’s not always so silly. Even if he really is from Gettysburg, PA and apparently, at 35 years old, can still recite the Gettysburg Address with a box on his head…just to make his stressed-out wife erupt in unexpected but much needed giggles.
