Shortly after we got engaged, I posted something on Instagram with the hashtag "tysaidno." One of my friends commented that she was excited to see how many times I used that hashtag during our first year of marriage. I thought that would be an interesting statistic, so I kept track of things that Ty has said no to during the first 6 months of our marriage.
And here we go.
* Pink flamingos in the front yard. I texted him a picture of something similar to this while registering for wedding gifts and said, "Can I?" His response, "No."
* Riding in a hot air balloon on our honeymoon. I said, "We could do a hot air balloon ride!" His response, "The only positive thing I can say about that is that at least we would die together. No."
* Naming our firstborn son Tyreek. After the OSU running back with this name ran back the touchdown to tie it up and get us a victory in Bedlam football, I felt like this could be a good way to honor the player, plus it sounds a bit like The Boy from Texas' first name. His response? "Um....no." (Less than a week later, Tyreek was kicked off the football team for beating his pregnant girlfriend...The Boy from Texas was right on this one.)
* Getting more dogs. I suggested we should take home three, maybe four, dogs from a pet adoption day because they were all alone with no one to love them and had really sad eyes! "Since when are you such a dog person? No."
* Buying matching moose footsie pajamas in Canada on our honeymoon. *Dirty look.* "No."
*Eating lettuce wraps. Me: "I found a really good recipe for lettuce wraps and I think you might really lik...." TBFT: "No."
*Ingesting the placenta. Me: "You know some people take part of their placenta, put it in a smoothie, and drink it." TBFT: "Who the hell are these people? We live in America. NO!"
