The Wifey & I Have a Talk
Wednesday, December 30, 2009 at 8:02AM Wifey: “I did this for an entire freakin’ summer you douche!”
Me: “I don’t know how in the hell you pulled this off. Were you on crack the whole time or what? I mean, I’m two minutes from jumping off a bridge.”
Wifey: “That’s why men could NEVER birth children.”
Me: “Fuck yeah we couldn’t!!! The world as we know it wouldn’t exist. Humans would have died out centuries ago. We wouldn’t be having this conversation cause I’d be a tiny worthless sperm cell sitting in front of the egg all: “screw that dude, you go ahead…I’m good. I’ll just take pictures of you being all bad-ass and put it on your Facebook page!”
Wifey: “Speaking of Facebook, you seriously need to be more careful about what you put on there. People there know who you are. It’s not Twitter jackass.”
Me: “Say that shit on Twitter…people will cut you woman.”
Wifey: “If Grayson ever calls me ‘woman’ cause he over-hears you saying that to me I swear you’ll need to wear a cup around me for a year.”
Me: “Look – you’re getting off the point. Three days!! Three day’s I’ve taken the kids sledding. And today I added a third child. And there was crying…anger…crying…ambulances…more crying. But it’s only been three days. How the hell did you do it for three months?”
Wifey: “Seriously – snow and ice and you want a medal?”
Me: “And when I got home I made snacks. The children loved the peanut buttery snacks. And TV was on. And all was good. Serenity rained down upon the land. And then Grayson came down stairs crying like a baby cause your freakin’ “mini-me” daughter socked him in the eye for trying to teach her how to say “the!” The simplest word on the planet – “the!!!” Well, next to “a.”
Wifey: “She hit him in the eye? What did you do?!”
Me: “I Googled ‘daughter hits brother in eye’ and a ton of videos came up. And they were so awesome. So then I Skyped my brother to show him some of these videos so I could see his reaction. It was hilarious. Actually – get the lap-top you HAVE to see this one...”
Wifey: “You seriously need medication you ADD bastard! What’s wrong with you?”
Me: “Oh, no…it’s cool. The kids made up and were making art projects by the time I got off Skype! In fact, they made you a Valentines card!”
Wifey: “For the record – when I leave in the morning for work…I leave scared for my children’s lives!”
Me: “You’re taking me all wrong. I just wanted to say that I appreciate everything you did as a stay-at-home-mom for a year. I’ve been doing it for not even two weeks and I hurt. I hurt everywhere. And I appreciate you.”
Wifey: “No!”
Me: “No what?”
Wifey: “No. No we cannot have sex tonight. I still have to write like 30 thank you notes from Christmas.”
Me: “Damn you and your ninja mind-tricks. How in the hell did you know?!”
Wifey: “You’re like the cat, dumb-ass. You only come around all happy and caring and stuff when you want to be fed. In your case, when you want some action. Back off dude!”
Me: “No, seriously. I appre-ci-ate you!!!”
Wifey: “It….ain’t….happ-en-ing!!!”
Me: “I took your children to see the new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie woman! Baby Jesus…that should get me sex for 6 weeks straight!”
Wifey: “’Your children?’ Really…you just dropped the ‘your’ word in talking about ‘our’ children? And also – idiot-boy - I was there, too! We shared the pain together!”
Me: “Holy shit you saw that movie too?! I swear to god…if I ever see anything as awful as that again…I told you I appreciate you right?”
Wife: “You seriously scare me. And, No!!!”
Me: “Fine! The appreciative train has left the station. You’re gonna have to work for it now!”
Wifey: “Damn. That sucks. And you said we weren’t doing Christmas gifts this year. Hey – can you toss me that pillow before you leave the room? That’d be great!”

This made me laugh so hard I actually spit out my coffee. This is totally what my hubby and I's conversations sound like except I end up saying "Every time you fart while we are speaking, add a month to the next time you will be getting any!"
Awesome. Just plain awesome :)
I like how you tried to wrangle in @IbeeNorm in there too.. good work!
Now you need to do this more often so the wifey understands that its not a ploy.. then you might have a chance in the bed!
Kids get hurt and you go googlilng for blog fodder....I freaking love it!
You so could be a fly on the wall at my house. lol
Funny stuff!
You are too freaking funny! There are couples having this same conversation everywhere and you bring this experience to life in writing so well. Keep up the appreciation thing and you may actually get some soon ;)
Did you have a tiny fly camera in my house last night??? This is totally copyright infringement on conversations that go on in my house! It's like having a doppleganger! Truly the best way to begin the afternoon lull...logging on and checking out your blog! Love it...it is now my HOME PAGE!
that was awesome, so could have been any given day at our house when my husband was home, priceless! thanks for sharing.
I seriously don't remember the last time I read something that funny. F-ing Hilarious. You rock. Give your wife a hug for me... if she'll let you.
Sorry it took me a day to comment on this... I also got distracted by Youtube. Stupid Internet, wasting all my time...
Sigh. And women wonder why men stray away from the bonds of matrimony... if Tiger Woods was getting well fed at home, he wouldn't need to get take-out.
You COLLOSSAL suck up!
LOL I have the same conversation with my husband after I go grocery shopping on a Saturday. He KNOWS he couldn't stay home full time. Hell, I don't even know how I do it unmedicated most days.
That was great!!
