Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bar Recipe

We love eating, playing games, and hanging out on our deck on summer nights! We recently had absolutely gorgeous weather so we sat around longer than usual and listened to my husband share his delivery stories from the day.

There’s always what he actually said to the customer he delivered to and what he wanted to say. But when he retells the story it’s sometimes hard to tell what he actually said because he’s telling it in the version of what he wished he could say!

In the same day he delivered to two different women, both who he compared me to! The way he described his experiences had us laughing hysterically!

The first lady he delivered to ordered a huge pallet of stuff. He put it where she asked him to, then she asks, “Do you know who puts it in the house?” I can only imagine the look on his face! He explained that the contractor is responsible for doing that – which she didn’t seem to have. What he wanted to say was, “You can’t just sit at your keyboard and order a bunch of stuff to remodel your house because it looks nice without having a plan!”

This is the point where he started explaining to our son that women get ‘great ideas’ and the men just have to go with it. HA!

Then he starts explaining the second delivery. He delivered a sink to where she works. She was super excited to get it. She asked my husband to help load it into the back of her car. They opened the hatch only for her to be surprised it was full of stuff! HA! THAT’S TOTALLY ME! So he waited for her to empty her stuff, they put the sink in the back, then she started cramming her stuff back in around the sink.

ME AGAIN!

Oh my goodness, we had such great belly laughs out of his stories – mostly at my cost! I told him it’s a good thing he’s been well trained in compliance over the years from dealing with me!
