Counting Spots

Here’s one of those things they don’t tell you before you get married. Apparently one of the marital duties is for each of us to look at each-other’s skin and count how many spots we have. We also need to see if any of them have changed in size.

I say this because Erin just got back from the dermatologist and he gave Erin the edict that she and I have to count our spots. I didn’t even know I had spots. But apparently I do. I guess we are somehow related to leopards.

So, how do you go about counting spots? Do you break each section of back into a 4x4 area and count for each area? Should I get a tally sheet and mark each off with tick marks?

Heck, I even need to keep track of size. What is that measuring tool they give you in geometry (not a protractor) that slides open and closed to make precise measurements? Maybe I’ll just break our my measuring tape, I love the soft “thunk” noise it makes when retracting the tape.

I don’t know about all of this. What else am I going to enjoy doing throughout this marriage? Next thing I know someone will tell me that I have to give a foot massage or maybe even cook a meal (oh my)!

Peace,
+Tom/Bob
