My wife beat me up
Courtesy: Joe McGregor
Story told by Joe and Amelia McGregor
Joe: Amelia wasn’t working at the time. Each morning, she’d be sleeping so I’d always give her a kiss and then go to work. This time, while she was sleeping, I went there to kiss her and she punched my face.
Amelia: I didn’t punch your face! I must’ve been dreaming about something and I heard maybe his voice in the background, I don’t know. I had my wedding rings on and all of a sudden, my arm went up just as he was about to kiss me. The stone on my ring hit him right in the eye. I didn’t realize anything.
Joe: When I came home from work, she said, “How did you get the black eye?”
I said, “Didn’t you know? You’re the one who did it!”
Amelia: They made fun of him saying, “Your wife beat you up.” They made fun of me too. I had a hard time living that one down
