Everyone, welcome back to FKS, Father Knows Something, with Justin tonight. Back in the new year of 2025, we have had rest. Well, I've had rest. I had a great Christmas season. You guys took off. You went to Minnesota.
Yes.
I looked, the evening, the eve of New Year's, I looked down at my phone in the morning and I said... Where is Justin and Morgan spending their New Year's Eve? And I looked in Minneapolis, couldn't find him. Went up to Duluth, couldn't find him. Cause we have, you know, find my friend. And then all of a sudden I just decided to press on the, on the word Morgan.
And it says they're in like fricking Amsterdam. It was like WTF. What are they doing there? Yeah. I hope everyone had a great New Year's. I know that some of our viewers were hitting me up and I was texting them rack and it was all kinds of fun. We had a week off. Yeah. A rare week off. And other than that, you want to kick it off? What's our theme tonight?
Well, we are going into dating to marry. I love that. So this isn't just a general, hey, my boyfriend did this, and I think maybe I should find new people now. I mean, maybe a little bit of that, but more it's like, how can we work through this? Or should we work through this? Because I'm in the era of dating to marry. I don't want to waste any more time. That is correct. Okay. All right.
Story number one. Number one. Number one.
Hello, everyone. Hello. My 25 female husband, 25 male, frequently forgets things I tell him or doesn't remember having entire conversations. Most recently, I baked a cake from scratch and made Christmas themed cake pops. I worked on these for several hours and made enough to take to work and have enough left for a few family members.
I wrapped them in clear treat bags and left one in a plain Ziploc bag for my husband to have. That night, I told him who I was giving them to and that I left him one in a Ziploc bag. I explained that I had exactly enough and no extras. The next day, he told me he ate one, but I noticed the Ziploc bag was still in the fridge. He wasn't paying attention. I asked if he was joking, but he was not.
When I pointed out that we had a conversation about which one was his and how I had no extras, he didn't remember having the conversation. Asked who they were for and said sorry. I know this seems like a silly issue over a cake pop, but this happens many other times in different situations. Telling him a shirt can't be dried, that I have an appointment the next morning, etc.
