Do you have a list?

Are you on the list?

I heard on the radio that some couples have a Trump Card, that one celebrity you keep in your mind or with your spouse that causes your heart to go pitter patter. You know that person, he/she arrives knocking at your door. You answer the door and in my case, Liam Neeson says those words from the movie Rob Roy that are forever seared in my mind.
“Have I told you lately how fine you are to me, Kelly Melang? (here I inserted my name)  Can I take you away?”
I turn, looking at my family. My husband watching the News, my boys fighting over some piece of candy found in the sofa. “Honey, you can have the house….”
This is where the Trump card comes in, I could walk out that door because heck, it’s all fantasy anyway. I asked my husband if he had a Trump card, “One? Some of my friends have lists they alphabetize.”
I ask another friend, he answers without hesitation, “Doris Day.” Doris Day? Is she still living?
We compromise on a top 5 because we know that there’s no way we’ll ever meet these people except on the movie screen or television. Others say that these lists are not healthy. What do you think? Do you have a list? Who’s on your list? What would you do if there was that knock at the door, and it’s not Ed McMahon…..
