“Sure, honey, I’d love to try that new vegan/Thai/Total Tofu/Love These Legumes place where you only take five bites of food/drink detox dandelion tea/share a table with twenty strangers having an existential debate about why we’re here. That sounds like fun!”

“So you’re signed up to do a potluck? Plus an away game, two appointments, meeting the plumber, folding laundry, picking up that present, and the dog just puked up a mystery substance? Oh yeah, you’ve got this, babe. No worries.”
Haha! No, I don’t have this kind of husband, but I’ve seen it play out in the homes of others 🙂
My husband LOVES Thai food and talking about life’s purpose and I’ll count that blessing today, thank you!

Now that you mention it I took creative license with those two in particular. (BrightSide’s a good sport.) Thai popped in because tofu, and I really do think he’d balk if I tried to haul him off to an all-tofu night. 😆

You get a nod from me. I have said variants of those. In defence I have to say some questions have no right answer, like being asked which leg you would want amputating – every answer is going to hurt.

Now THAT’S an excellent example of impossible questions. Like “do I look pale?” when you have the flu or “do we really REALLY have to go have dinner with those insufferable business people tonight?” 😆

I didn’t know your husband was married to Wonder Woman.

Depends on the day. Sometimes Wonder Woman, sometimes a mild mannered librarian who’s tucked away on a couch with the laptop. To-may-to, to-mah-to. Bwahahaha!!!

You may have missed the post where I shared the story of how I “consoled” my wife when she hadn’t yet bought maternity clothes but was struggling to get into her jeans. I said: “You don’t even really look pregnant, you just look a little fat.”

Sorry, I was eaves ‘reading’ that back and forth. Did your wife hit you sharply in the nose for saying the fatal “F” word? Especially to a pregnant woman?

Ha ha – no, but she went out that day and bought maternity clothes. When I came home, she said “now I look pregnant!” I’ll never live that down.
