Haibun
Conrad Dobler
My question is this, should this very short piece be marked as sexually explicit or tagged as humor? I am going with the latter, with the sincere hope that I don’t offend anyone.
For no apparent rhyme or reason the strangest things come out of my mouth … we are speaking words not creatures. One summer afternoon many years ago immediately after my husband and I had made wondrous love, I sat straight up, opened my mouth and shouted: “Conrad Dobler.” After such warm and intimate moments one might expect sweet nothings for that matter sweet something’s to come out of one’s wife’s mouth. I at that time had no idea who Conrad Dobler was. I learned that he was a professional football player Needless to say my husband was shocked and then went into immediate fits of extreme laughter. This morning many years later I awoke with this man’s name on my mind again after dreaming about him. Why, I ask? That’s rhetorical by the way – please don’t answer.

Liz, that is an amazing story. I wonder where in your subconscious that name came from. Quite eerie indeed.
That is SO funny. If that had been either of my [ex]husbands, I’d have faced days of sulking and accusations. I love your husband’s reaction.
I ADORE that he laughed………so funny!
seriously…you crack me up opening your comments on the second day…smiles. funny little moment….those stick with us…the quirks…wondering if my wife would laugh if i sat up and called out a womans name…ahem…ha…love the haiku at the end….def summer love making in a kimono…very nice….
My! It’s all in the subconscious … the name you said. And for sweetness of love and marriage, your husband’s response is charming.
Cute!
Thank goodness your husband also has a sense of humor. 🙂
Yes indeed!
