Dan and Jen’s Blog

It all started over three years ago not too long after Jen and I had gotten engaged. We were at a friend’s wedding in southern Missouri. Jen and a friend of our’s, Dani Kuntz, were going to get something to eat while Dave (Dani’s husband) and I hung out at the church to get ready for the wedding of another Dave (Becker). Jen told me they were going to Sonic and asked me if I wanted anything and I replied that I wanted 120 tater tots. Needless to say, Jen did not bring me back 120 tater tots (I don’t think she brought even 1). Since then, it’s been a running joke that she still owes those tater tots.

Well, as of yesterday, the debt has been paid. For those of you who don’t know (and I imagine all of you fall into this category), yesterday, August 13th, was National Left Hander’s Day. Jen had been promising me a present for it and I’m sure I might have hinted that I thought I deserved one. So Jen drove me with my eyes closed to Sonic. Here, I would like to inform the world of my excellent navigational abilities – even with my eyes closed, I knew exactly where we were. Jen had called Sonic earlier and arranged to have them prepare the abnormal amount of tater tots for us:

There’s still a lot in our fridge.

And here’s your fun left-handed fact of the day: while only approximately 7 – 10 percent of the population is left-handed, 4 of the last 6 U.S. Presidents were lefties. But we do have lots of trouble crossing paths with others.
