Silly things your spouse does
 

Here's one that had me pissing my pants laughing last night.

Last night as I was putting the finishing touches on dinner, the phone rang and it was Daryl wanting to just let me know that he was at the train station waiting for me to pick him up. It was at this point in the conversation that I felt it imperitive to remind him that he'd driven himself to the train station that morning. D'oh!


What's the funniest but dopiest thing your spouse has ever done?

Not packing the tent poles on our hiking/camping trip to the Red River Gorge in KY, many years ago. Here we were, a good 2 hours' hike away from the parking lot, waaaay uphill at the peak, where we chose to camp. Oops. And oh my gosh, did it ever rain that night. We tried to rig that tent up with branches, hair ties, shoelaces and prayers and it was quite a sight!

But I don't hold it against him. Though we passed the night in soggy cold misery, it was a sort of bonding experience, something we'll never forget, something to talk about for years. See? It's been about 14 years now, and I still remember. ;)

But hey, I've done TONS of dopey things too. I don't think my hubby could every nail down the dopiest for a post like this. Too many to choose from.

Heehee, when my ex had "quit" smoking (I didn't smoke full time at that time) by his choice, he kept disappearing out the back of the house. I finally said "What, you got a woman out there?" and he sheepishly admitted he'd been smoking. It was really cute. I was like "are you 12?" I still giggle when I remember the look on his face. He is a terrible liar, even little white lies!

edit: what I meant was he was terrible AT little white lies. He wasn't a liar. He just didn't have it in him.

My beloved will NEVER see this thread!

Why is that Brian? would she have something to contribute perhaps? ;)

Perhaps.

You should just tell us all about it. That way it can never be used against you.

We won't laugh.

Well I can't say that Iwon't laugh, but you probably won't know I'm laughing.

No way. My funny shit stays private. Besides, I know you people and how long you remember things.

Lately my wife worries that every else in the family has completed simple tasks in their life. For example, she always asks things like, did you lock the car, as we walk into the store; did you shut the garage; did you give the dogs water before we left; did you turn off the coffee maker; did you set your alarm. I don't know if she thinks I am getting dementia or if she is getting it. Like stop supervising me already. When I want you to take over I'll ask you to tie me up.

It's because your second kid just went off to college, Merc. She's ramping up on the empty nest syndrome. Just you wait until the third one goes.

I think you may be right.

the beest is never silly. however, he once fell asleep on the toilet and woke up when he fell off, which had me lmfao :D

I think falling asleep on the toilet qualifies as silly.

My darling husband just did the very same... well... not the train station, but he called my cell and asked if I'd left the house yet. I wondered where exactly he thought I'd be without the car... without the car seats... after all he took the car to work this morning.
