Dear Anna and Felty,
I would like to have a girlfriend, but girls think I am boring. Do you have any suggestions for making myself more exciting?
Boring on Bonduel
Dear Boring,
Anna says: It takes practice to be exciting enough to attract the girls’ attention. You probably have a small mirror at home for shaving. Take a few minutes every morning to 
practice making different faces in the mirror. Try an excited face, a shocked face, a joyful face. Practice an interested expression. Girls like it when you look interested. Not only will this improve your chances with the girls, but exercising your face muscles will prevent wrinkles from forming in your later years. You always want to look nice for your spouse, even when you’re middle-aged like Felty and me.
Felty says: You need to think up exciting things to do when you’re out with a girl in your buggy. Looking for license plates is a wunderbarr way to really spice up your time together. 
Pick a busy intersection in a big city like Shawano, park your buggy safely to the side, and watch cars as they pass. You will see many unusual license plates, and the girl will get more and more excited with every new plate yet. This was the very way I got Annie-banannie to fall in love with me. She held my hand the night we saw Rhode Island.
If you have a question for Anna and Felty, please leave a reply below.
Too cute! I will miss this delightful middle-age couple. They also brought back some memories with my father – not only did we play the license plate game when we were on the rare family vacation, but my father began collecting license plates, eventually every state, and every state with his year of birth on them, among others. Not sure how exciting that would be on a date, unless it is a 1st of 2nd date to break the conversational ice! Thanks for the reminder!
Jeanie,
That is so cool about your dad. I so enjoy playing the license plate game. My family thinks it’s funny, but there’s nothing to compare to the thrill of finding a rare license plate. It must be something like birdwatching. 🙂
Can I count Rhode Island since I saw the license plate on here?! LOL I have only seen it once before and I am grasping at straws! Sometimes I wonder what people think when my husband and I go very slowly through the store’s parking lots looking at the plates. If they ever ask me, I will tell them to read “Huckleberry Hill.”!
Heehee! Do you ever watch a movie with the express purpose of looking for license plates? I’ve yet to decide if that counts, though.
I’ve found a hospital parking lot to be a good place to look. Yes, Rhode Island is so hard to find! I found Vermont, West Virginia, and Alaska a couple of weeks ago. Still looking for Hawaii!
No, I never thought of looking at the license plates in a movie! Wow! Let me know when you decide if it counts or not. I will have to start watching more movies if it does! LOL
I love this! Felty & Anna are simply the best. I love the way they love & support each other and everyone should still be that much in love as they grow older. I truly believe that God made Anna & Felty just for each other (with a little help from Jennifer Beckstrand of course.)
Thank you, Pam! Anna and Felty embody so many of the qualities that I want in my own marriage and in my other relationships. They’re kind of the ideal to shoot for. 🙂
