The Sticker

Apples and peanut butter.

Best. Snack. Ever.

I have packed a cut up apple with two scoops of peanut butter in my and my husband's lunch everyday for the last three months (give or take a couple days when we ran out).

But that's not all that's been included with the snack.  More times than not, the little PLU sticker on the apple remains behind.

Usually because I forget to pull it off.

Now, if my husband could have just LET IT GO, picked off the sticker, and thrown it away without mentioning anything, I wouldn't have even thought about that little thing.

But my husband is not that kind of person.  (He still teases me about bringing the wrong movie on our second date.)  He brought it up.  Multiple times.

I had two choices. 

I could get mad that he couldn't simply just pick off the sticker and be thankful that I even packed him a lunch.  But I am not that kind of person...which is the same reason there was a third date ;)

Or I could have a little fun.

I remembered to pull off the sticker from the apple the next day, the day after that, and the day after that.  I just placed it in other more interesting places for him to find.

Which he did.

And then took a picture to show me he found it.



 **Disclaimer** I did not put the sticker on the sandwich...he did that!  
I put it on the bag :)

So when asked how a young married couple with two little girls under the age of 2 keep the "spark" alive...

We play hide-and-go-seek with an apple sticker.
