You Like Dolphins....No I Don't

I was having coffee with some friends yesterday and someone noticed the bracelet I had on.  It's one of those link bracelets.  I love it and wear mine quite often.

The ladies wanted to know what significance each link had to me, so I obliged them.  When I came to the dolphin I couldn't help but start laughing.

Ah yes, the dolphin.

For my birthday last year I open up one of my gifts from Gregg and in amongst all the other goodies is a link for my bracelet.  A dolphin.  I take the dolphin link out, tilt my head and hold it up.  I must have had a look of confusion on my face.

Gregg:  "What?  Don't you like it?"

Me:  "It's a dolphin."

Gregg:  "Ya I got you a dolphin because I know you like dolphins."

Me:  "I don't like dolphins."

Gregg:  "Yes you do."

Me:  "No, no I don't."

Gregg:  "Yes you do, you collect them."

Me:  "I don't collect dolphins Gregg, never have never will."

Gregg:  "Yes you do, you collect dolphins."

Me:  "Go and get one of those dolphins I collect and show it to me ok?"

Gregg:  "Well I don't see any........you don't collect dolphins?"

Me:  "No Gregg, I don't collect dolphins."

Gregg:  "But you like dolphins?"

Me:  "I never really thought about dolphins before."

Gregg:  "I know you like dolphins Joy."  He turns to the kids "Mom likes dolphins doesn't she."

Kids:  "Um no dad.  Where in the world did you get the idea she likes dolphins?"

Gregg:  "She does too, I know she does!  We've been married 20 years and for 20 years every single time I go grocery shopping with her and we're in the canned tuna section, she says to make sure and get the cans of tuna that are dolphin friendly.  She always repeats herself too, 'Gregg make sure and get the cans of tuna that are dolphin friendly'.  See!  She likes dolphins."
