The movie “A Bronx Tale” is a DeNiro classic. One scene in the movie is with the young lead that goes by “C”. C is being schooled by an older “father-like” figure before he goes on a date with a young woman. The older gentleman tells C to test her to see if she is one of the ‘great ones’. When C arrives to pick up the lady he gets out of the car, locks his door and walks over to her side to let her in (obviously this is before automatic locks). As he walks back to his door, if she is one of the ‘great ones’, she will reach over to unlock his door. In the movie, she was one of the great ones… I myself have passed this test on several occasions unless I purposely wanted to fail.
So what is our test for men? Are they capable of passing any test to win our hearts? Or is it virtually impossible to pass a test with women because we constantly change the rules?
I have been working from home more since my due date is approaching and trekking to the city is just too much. Therefore, the other morning I came downstairs to make my breakfast before I logged in. I turned on water for tea and started to scramble some eggs. While standing over the sink I noticed Mr. Wilson had tea and in his cup were a tea bag and a lemon. Well my mind started racing since I knew we were running low on cut lemons… I bet that was the last lemon, the least he could do is cut lemons so I don’t have too, this is just ridiculous, I have to do everything even cut lemons (mind you this is all in my head). Well ladies, I went to the refrigerator prepared to cut lemons and realized he had cut a lemon, placed the pieces in a plastic zip lock bag, and even put the baggy in the fruit section.
So the lesson is, he passed a test that he was not even aware of and I failed the test that I created. I just started laughing to myself because I realized I, at times (believe it or not), have standards I cannot even meet. I immediately went to my computer and sent Mr. Wilson an email telling him how great of a husband he is. Later I told him the story and he just laughed.
So ladies… look at the small things he does. You may be surprised that your significant other may be cutting lemons for you !!

Tanika, that was so great!! I like your blogs. They give me such insight into the life of the young, fabulous and married ;especially from one of my closest friends. Your marriage is so encouraging and inspiring to me ;just how you've been to me through the years as a good friend (yeah even those crazzzy RIDER days!)If GOD keeps his end of the bargain, I will be leaving some blogs in the very near future...(hint...hint) Love you much.
Sounds like Torrie might have something going on!!!! Let her know I am praying for a speedy recovery. Now back to you... That was a cute blog. I am so used to doing everything myself I haven't had a chance to see if I had any cut lemons. (I probably cut them myself). I think that it is in that persons nature to think about helping the other out. What one might think is insignificant, the other may feel that it is important. Go figure. But Mr. Wilson is a special guy after all, and soon to be a special daddy too!!! Luv ya girl, keep up the blogs, I enjoy them. It's like a tidbit of Oprah (smile)
I agree with sis nikki, I'm used to doing everything myself. I must say I love reading your blogs and you have opened my eyes. I'm going to learn to relax a little/move a little slower to see if my lemons are getting cut or if they will sit in the refrigerator to rot if I never cut them myself :)
Congrats Tanika, I'm so happy for you!! You have a wonderful husband and soon will be a wonderful mother, you truly have been blessed throughout your lifetime.
Love ya!
