Quantcast

Boys will be boys…

“Hey, honey! I was looking at some of the things we have to do this weekend and so I want to talk about schedules. Can you take a few minutes from work to go over it with me?”

“Sure.”

“Ok, it looks like tonight you are probably going out with the guys to quiz night at The Owl. Friday night our family is going to have dinner and games at Max and Brigitte’s. Saturday afternoon Linny and Nooncy are coming up to be with the family, and Sunday you said you wanted to take the boys to the gym to swim and shoot hoops to practice your game since joining your company’s basketball team. Sunday is also the day Rachel is going to be in Logan, plus I have game night at Brian Joy’s that night. Am I leaving anything off?”

“Yeah. I…um…have a thing on Saturday morning.”

“A thing?”

“…Uh…Yeah…A thing.”

“WHAT thing?”

“Um…er…It’s…a…It’s the first meeting of our “Jujitsu Club.”

(Moment of silence due to not knowing how to take this tidbit of information except that it was totally apparent it would involve me laughing my ass off at some point.)

“Well, I did say that you should be involved in more social activities and hang out with friends more often. I suppose watching tons of Jacki Chan and Jet Li movies qualifies you for this? Just make sure that you don’t hurt yourself or let your Super Secret Ninja Club run too late in the day.”

The Things My Husband Says

“Jon! I really like my new blogging friend, Rachel. We have a lot weird things in common. She even had a raging crush on the guy who played Almonzo in “Little House on the Prarie” like I did!”

“Duh! EVERYONE was in love with him.”

“You, too?”

“Hell, yes!”

“You are totally weird.”

“I’m not weird. Everyone else is just common.”

The things my husband says…

“Jon? I’ve been feeling like we are really out of sync lately.”

“Um…Ok?”

“You have that look and tone of ‘ I want to end the conversation as quickly as possible and get back to watching Anime so I’m just going to say yes to whatever it is she’s rambling on about’. ”

“Pretty much. Unless you said that you wanted to buy something. Then I’d say, ‘No’.”
