My SWMBO's blonde moments

[aekdbbop]

Ok, just wanted to share these two blonde moments that my wife had in the last few days..

1. We were in the living room, looking over some tax papers.. and she spilt coffee all over some of them. She was really upset. I suggested that we just put them in the oven @ 100 degrees and let them dry for a minute.

Christy: "But if we put them in the oven, won't they catch on fire?"

Me: "At 100 degrees?"

Christy: "yeah?"

Me: "When you go outside on a hot day in the summer, do your papers randomly catch on fire?"

Christy: "Oh, ha, I guess not."
:cross:

2. We were on our way to eat some Italian food yesterday in Nashville, at a restaurant called Mamma Mia's. We get off the interstate, which is backed up, and we see a man holding a sign asking for money. The sign reads "I am a Vet, anything will help".

Christy: "I seriously doubt he is a vet"

Me: "what do you mean? How can you tell"

Christy: "I just dont think that he would be out their, they make good money"

Me: "Honey, he looks like a veteran of Vietnam. Wait, do you think that he is a veterinarian?

Christy: "Ha, oops"

I never laughed so hard in my life:cross:

She is awesome, but sometimes, it's a little scary...

My sister has moments like that too. Sometimes I wonder how she gets through the day.

Can we mention the time she was cool with posting a picture of her naked ass online, until it was pointed out that a MILIMETER of nipple was showing? Does that count as a blonde moment?

That's a moment we'll allow her to re-live

Can we all re-live it right now?

The best I ever got out of SWMBO was when she called me at home one day:
Me: Hello
SWMBO: Hi. Where are you?
Me: ....
SWMBO: I got a call from some friends who want to meet for drinks. Where are you and how quick can you get up here?
Me: You just called me. At home. On a land line. Where do you think I am?
SWMBO: ....

My ex-spouse wasn't your shinyest apple on the tree, either. He had a bad habit of yelling at me from anywhere in the house, as his lazy ass wasn't about to get up and come talk to me like a normal human being. The following is one of our conversations:

Ex: HEY! HEY!

Me: Yes?

Ex: Where are you?

Me: I'm in the tub.

Ex: What are you doing?

Me:... (pause) ...makin' a pizza. What do you THINK I'm doin', you moron?

OKAY I have to chime in...

In December my wifes reality about where "baby pine trees" come from was shattered! At a store we saw a bunch of small sapling pines to use as decoration in your home:

Erin: Wow, those are really small trees, I didnt know you could get them so small!

Me: What?

Erin: These trees, they are so tiny!

Me: How small do you think they start out? Do think they are "born" three feet tall?

Erin: Huh... I never really thought about that, I have never seen them so small.

Me: They start out as seeds and look almost like blades of grass when they sprout.

Erin: Oh... I have never seen that!

Thanksgiving was another treat. I was out flying a trip and got a call from my wife as I was walking down the jetway to the plane. She was in charge of buying the food for the feast that weekend.

Erin: I am having a hell of a time finding sweet potatoes!

Me: At Thanksgiving?

Erin: Well they must be sold out!

Me: At Thanksgiving?

Erin: I have been looking everywhere!

Me: They should have a whole stack of them in some conspicuous place, it is Thanksgiving!

Erin: All that I can find are Yams!

Me: Hunny, sit down... Yams ARE Sweet Potatoes....

Erin: Well why the hell is it in small print!

Me: Love you hunny... happy shopping!

That's too funny. Guess that's why he's the ex!

Actually, you are wrong, yams and sweet potatoes are different...sorry

a-la-wikipedia

"Often called a yam, the sweet potato is not in the Yam family, but that is only the beginning of the confusion (see yams). Nor is the sweet potato closely related to the common potato, although both are Solanales plants. Although yams and sweet potatoes are both angiosperms (flowering plants), they are not related botanically. Yams are a monocot (a plant having one embryonic seed leaf) and from the Dioscoreaceae or Yam family. Sweet Potatoes, often called ‘yams’, are a dicot (a plant having two embryonic seed leaves) and are from the Convolvulacea or morning glory family."

All you ever wanted to know about yams and a whole lot more info that you didn't need.

Not SWMBO, but she related this story about a road trip with her sister...

SWMBO: Another Mile marker down, i think we're almost half way there now.

Sister: Cool! How far is it between those mile markers anyway?

 

[The Pol]

Regardless of the all mighty WIKI, the cans in the store said Yams and Sweet potatoes on the same can. As far as Kroger is concerned, they are the same.

T
Me: Hunny, sit down... Yams ARE Sweet Potatoes....

In this country this is "true", but it is not in other countries. In our supermarkets they are used interchangably. However........


It's time for the Botany Police!!!!!!!

Sweet potatoes (what we typically see in the store) is Ipomea batatas, a relative or morning glories. They are also dicots and are true roots.

True Yams are Dioscorea L., a monocot, and are a bit odd, but are basically a rhizome.

History Lesson time Too!!! The color of sweet potatoes varies from dark orange to yellow. The latter is where the confusion arose. When the slaves were brought to this country they saw the sweet potatoe, particularly the more yellow forms and thought they were the same plant they were used to in Africa (the true yam) which they called Name (nah - may), which based on they way they pronounced it, got corrupted into yam. Ta da - confusion to this day.

So if your wife is of African descent, maybe SHE was right!

I have lots of those blonde moments. Luckily, HWMBO doesn't spend any time on HBT to regale you with the stories!

 

[Skins_Brew]

we were watching TV and a pink panther insulation commercial came on...

SWMBO: What type of animal is the pink panther??
ME: ........[intense laughter]

OK time for us to confess our OWN Blonde moments..

Sitting at work, and I look down at my watch.. which has stopped. I announced to my coworkers in the room... "Hey my watch has stopped! I wonder when that happened?"

Hahah I just did that with a wall clock that is really high up on the wall in my living room to my SWMBO.

Well at least she looks like a rockstar in the bedroom...

Haha, the one about the Vet is pretty good. My SWMBO doesn't really say too many "blonde" things, but she definitely has the moments. I respect her intelligence, but I do enjoy the space cadet moments. And by enjoy, I mean find it kind of hot...

 

[PeteOz77]

SWMBO and I were taking a drive out to the local reservoir to have a look, as we are in severe drought here. As we approached the dam, she exclaims

"Oh my god! Look! It's almost EMPTY!"

I have to say I was at a loss for words... but then they came to me.... "Umm sweetheart.... the water is on the OTHER side of the dam"

She was still confused, but I told her she would understand in a minute.... as we drove past the face of the dam... she finally got it.

 

[david_42]

Yams, sweet potatoes, once you've dumped four pounds of brown sugar on them and slathered on the marshmallow fluff, WHO CAN TELL?

 

[PeteOz77]

Yeah, but my watch also has the DATE on it ! LOL

I love the red in her eyes as she's wielding that knife. She looks like demon spawn. But HOT demon spawn..........

SWMBO is doing crosswords on the couch right now. She asks me "What's a four letter word for Barley drink?":cross:


Beer baby. Beer.

SWMBO claims that she already knew the answer, but she was just quizzing me. My initial thought was barley-wine.
