You are here: Home / family / What your nighstand says about your spouse …

What your nighstand says about your spouse …

We all know men and women are different, but this occurred to me in a humorous way during our recent move. When packing, I came across a reminder of our differences/priorities when viewing the contents of my nightstand vs. John’s:

John’s:
Tripod for camera
pellet gun
rope
travel money pouch
batteries (lots of batteries!)
grooming set
yo-yo
extension cord
USB cable
Charger
2-G picture card

Tricia:
3 diapers
travel lint brush
fancy mesh bag (to be used as a future gift)
2 belts
needles and thread and scissors
4 pacifiers
Wyoming shot glass (I need to send to my dad)
3 pill boxes I bought in Paris (to give as gifts)
a greeting card signed by John’s family when we moved
a decorated rock (from my Czech friends)
package of new Sharpies

I’m pondering what this says about or personalities. What do you think?

Also, what about you? How do the contents of your nightstand compare with your husband’s? Or your purse vs. his wallet?

    OK, Tricia I had to laugh, because your husband’s nightstand sounds like mine. Except replace the yo-yo with some military models (he paints them).

    This made me chuckle. My husband has the nightstand, but I have an entire dresser next to my bed, so I can fit more – books, hairdryer, hairspray, makeup basket, baby socks, drawings from my daughter, glass of water……and it goes on and on!
