"Husband, what is my X-factor?" I asked, standing behind the Husband, who was at the kitchen sink. He was carefully prepping the dishes to wash.
"X-factor?" the Husband asked. "What do you mean?"
"I dunno," I said, trying to balance on one foot. "What is X-factor?"
"It was a TV show** about aliens."
"Cool! I've got my "X" post."
"What?"
"The letter X. You'll be featured tomorrow on the blog. Thank you very much."
The Husband laughed.
* Later, when I returned from taking out the garbage, the Husband said, "X-Files was the alien show. X Factor was a talent show."
"Even better," I said, though I don't know why.

Your husband's great. Glad he supports you w/ this blog. BTW, if you have time, will you please put a comment on my V post? I forgot to schedule it for the correct day then had to post W right away!

Yup, the Husband is a sweetheart about me writing about him. I will come by, you can count on it. :-)
DeleteOoo X-Files. Been AGES since I saw that one. I used to love it growing up :)
ReplyDeleteHappy A to Z-ing!

I never saw X-Files. Beats me why not. It sounds like one I would've enjoyed. Probably if the Husband was in my life then, I would've watched it regularly.
DeleteX-Factor was actually a show about Simon Cowell.
ReplyDeleteAll the better if it's a talent show. You can show off your fancy moves.!!
ReplyDeleteYes, I can see myself tapdancing away from the hook. :-)
DeleteX-Files, a favorite. Saw a rerun yesterday. They were young and it was discouraging to remember that we were too. Never saw X-Factor.
ReplyDeleteThat's both for me, and I am a TV watcher.
DeleteHa ha! Cute! For the record I was thinking X-Factor was the alien show, too!
ReplyDeleteX-Factor is an alien show! :)
DeleteThanks, Jeanette. X-Factor would make a great title for one.
DeleteLOL, Widders!
LOL. Your X-factor is the ability to get posts out of your husband without him knowing!

LOL. I read your reply to the Husband and he said, "Oh, I know."
DeleteSusie,
ReplyDeleteWhat would we do without our husbands? Mine has provided me with quite a few stories for this blogging challenge. I love your drawing!
Thanks, Sue. The Husband says that the drawing shows precisely what goes on in the kitchen as he washes the dinner dishes. I gotta do something as I wait to draw them.
DeleteI watched the X factor and it only had to do with singing. If I went on I would be calling all the dogs to me with my voice-ouch:) X files or X factor it is still an X. Now if it was X men I would want to be able to transport wherever I wanted to go:)
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the previews for the upcoming X-Men? Very interesting. It's present going to the past, or is the past going to the future? Whatever it ought to be an intense tale.
DeleteThe letter X is a hard one, but like your topic for this one. It looks like you are skating in the drawing.
ReplyDeleteThat's the way I looked (without the smile) as I began my fall the few times I skated. :-)
Deletethis is great thanks for posting
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. Thanks for dropping by. Sorry it took me awhile to respond. :-)
