I was living with Matthew in a little 2 bedroom up by NDSU. I was home alone and I had purchased an expensive frozen pizza for the first time. I usually got the cheap ones. I was excited to try out a pricey one.
I cooked it and watched carefully. When the cheese browned just right on top I grabbed a cookie sheet and slid it onto it. It looked perfect! Then when I was standing up with it it slipped off the side of the sheet and landed face down on the dirty linoleum floor.
When Matt got home about an hour later, I was sitting on the couch. He came in in a really good mood (like he usually was) and I didn't respond. At all. He went into the kitchen... Silence... He came over and sat on the couch beside me. a few seconds later he said, "It looked like a really good pizza." We laughed and I cursed about it. Then he helped me clean it up.
This was back in the early 90's and we had a telephone answering machine that we left funny messages on. The two I remember clearly were:
Matt:"Hello you have reached the home of Matt Burkholder and Aaron Guderjahn, We are not here and the answering machine is broken. This is the fridge. Leave a message and I will stick it to myself."
And My favorite one was from when Matt was really sick:
Aaron:"(in a hushed voice)You have reached the phone of Matthew Burkholder and Aaron Guderjahn, I can't answer the phone right now cause Matt is really sick -(Matt from a distance) Bring me my soup!!- oh, gotta go! Leave a message after the beep!"
As usual Matt's timing was excellent! A lot of laughter came with the messages.
