Things I Have Said To My Husband Today


  • Hi darling, how was your day?

  • Oh good

  • What's that?

  • That box you're carrying

  • Ooh goody I love surprises

  • All for me? wow

  • I wonder what's inside

  • Ooh what is it?

  • It looks like socks

  • Yup, definitely socks

  • White socks at that

  • Should I stop now or will further delving simply reveal more white socks?

  • Oh I see, more white socks

  • 100?

  • Ooh you really pushed the boat out this time

  • I'm not being sarcastic, it's just that it's a hundred white socks

  • Well what does one say about one hundred white socks?

  • Right

  • Well

  • Errr, thankyou

  • Where did you get them from?

  • If a guy at work is closing down it usually means his products aren't selling

  • Well, I'm saying that if no one in the world wanted to buy his socks, why on earth did you buy them?

  • They were free?

  • So my present is a hundred pairs of white socks that you got for free from a guy closing down a warehouse

  • What do you mean they're a size nine?

  • I'm a six

  • Well you know my bra size

  • Yes I'm sure it's much more fun shopping for bras

  • What do you mean you have your hands to help you remember the size?

  • Please don't tell me that's how you shop for bras

  • The assistant will understand the size, you don't have to cup your hands

  • Well how would you like it if that's how I shopped for your underpants?

  • No I don't think the assistant would fall down in an impressed faint

  • Or ask if you're likely to be single soon

  • Although you may be now I know how you shop for bras

Romance certainly isn't dead in the Millennium Household!

The last present I got from a man was a brace of dead birds.

Something's wrong here....

I don't think there's enough money in the world to get my husband to walk into a lingerie shop.

About those socks -- sounds like a great opportunity for a bloggy giveaway. Or 100 bloggy giveaways!

Thanks for coming by the Raisin Chronicles. Adding you to my list of blogs I follow.

I can just see your next post....one hundred things to do with socks!

OMG ~ I laughed my way through this - I loved the whole thing and can't wait to read it to my husband! I have been on a blogging break but am so happy to have returned. I am now visiting all of my old favorites - and am so glad that I did! I will be back soon - so I can find out what you do with 100 pairs of socks ! Enjoy.

Tee hee, tee hee. You could add to that,

"Err, no honey, I don't think the man helping me in the men's underwear department would think socks had anything to do with anything."

Clare Wassermann said...

Ha ha - I got a pair of secateurs one Valentine's Day. How's that for "pick your own". Hrmmmmph. Very funny MH

A Modern Mother said...

Love it!

You don't like white socks?

Shiny said...

Wow - 100 socks! Perhaps we could combine efforts and I could have 100 white socks as The Amazing Prize, going to the winner of the Temporary-Shack-Up-Rich competition! I'd think that would send competition entries through the roof! I mean, really, 100 white socks? Who could resist?
Ooo, ooo! We could embroider (and, by that, I mean get somebody else to embroider) a monogram - maybe TSUR on their turn-overy bits. Ok, I'm stopping now x

100 pairs of white socks that are too big for you. Oh dear! Sell 'em on ebay as the worst present ever.

My children want to know why I can't speak breathe and why I'm crying...just bloody brilliant!
