Sunday Funnies

My husband walked in yesterday morning and asked to the home populous in general, "Has anyone seen my razor?"

"Not unless it's hot pink," I joked. I had seen the bubble gum colored razor in the children's shower and had JUST FINISHED having a conversation with my 7-year-old daughter about whether she was trying to grow up too fast. I realized after a moment or two that she in fact really did not know where the razor had come from. Then it dawned on me that Grandma must have left it when she visited last week.

"Of course, it's not hot pink; it's black," my husband said. "Do they MAKE hot pink razors?"

At this point, I was thinking, "Lord, I know he's a guy and all and recognizing details is not necessarily their forte, but is he SERIOUS?! OF COURSE he must know that women use hot pink razors!"

"Yes." I said. "I've had one."

"O.K. I don't know how I didn't know about that."

At this point I'm thinking "why would I make an announcement about what color razor I'm using to shave on any given day?"

My thoughts were interrupted by my husband's excitement. "Oh, good, here it is!"

And he held up his slender new cell phone!

I guess if it cleans something, he's the one without a clue. If it runs on batteries and involves invisible energy and cool gadget thingy-ma-doos, then obviously I am the one living in the dark.

An hour later, my husband was busy gathering up supplies to work in the shop with his buddies. They were coming over to build boats for the kids to compete in the "Regatta Race" at our church's Wednesday night children's program.

He turned into the bathroom and shut the door. From the other side, I heard him yell (why, oh why, do people always seem to want to hold a conversation from INSIDE the confines of a restroom?!), "Hey kids, one of you please go get me some toilet paper. We need to have some in here. I've got gas galore!"

???????????????

A minute or two later as he finished up business and walked out I teased, "So glad you gave us the play by play about EXACTLY what was going on in there."

He looked puzzled.

So I repeated what he had said. "We need toilet paper in here because I have gas galore?"

He laughed because he had just been explaining to ME that our son seems to be having hearing issues. Then he corrected, "No! I SAID we need to put some toilet paper in that bathroom because I have GUESTS COMING OVER!!!"

Well, that's much more thoughtful, then.............

And would you believe, as I typed the above and hit "spell check", that "thingy-ma-doos" didn't get highlighted? HUH!
