"My Wife"


Our second tournament was in Cobourg which was about 3 hours away. So I booked an Airbnb with a double bed and tried to convince Barb to come with me because there was a pickleball tournament in Cobourg that weekend.  I kept telling her to get a partner and go to the tournament and then we could drive together but she kept saying she didn't have a partner and didn't want to go.  So I left for Cobourg by myself.  I got to my Airbnb at 7 pm and hooked up to the wifi and messaged Barb to say I got there safe.  I said that I got 2 phone calls on our shared cellphone on my way to Cobourg and got 2 texts as well.  There was a lady trying to get in touch with her urgently.  When I got to Cobourg, Barb told me that the lady was in Cobourg and her pickleball partner had injured herself and wanted Barb to come to Cobourg and play with her.  So I said I would ask the owner of the Airbnb if it was okay for "my wife" to join me.  She said sure it was okay and she didn't charge me anything extra. So Barb drove to Cobourg in the evening and we met at the Tim Hortons at 11:30 so I could give her the extra key and show her the way to the Airbnb and she wouldn't wake the owner.
