Why I Love My Husband But Have Been Known To Roll My Eyes At Him, Dramatically, Part XXVI
Dinner chez HBM, last night:
Wonderbaby (pointing, with frown, to suspicious orange lump on plate): Whassat?
HBM: Sweet potato.
Wonderbaby: NO LIKE TAY-TOE.
HBM: Fine. It's a yam.
Wonderbaby: HAM?
HBM: YAM.
HBF (helpfully): It's a tuber.
Wonderbaby: TOOBER?
HBF: Tuber.
Wonderbaby: NO LIKE TOOBER.
(Tuber/yam/sweetpotato flies by HBM's head, very narrowly missing her nose, and lands, with a splat, on the dining room wall, where it clings for a sticky moment before sliding, tuberously, to the freshly-cleaned floor.)
HBF: Ah.
HBM: WHAT?
HBF: Tuber-too-close-is. Be glad you didn't catch that.

That is the best kind of tubour.
LOL. Sounds like something my husband would say. I engage in a lot of eye rolling too....
yah!!! flying sweet potato is no go!
Ack.
Very punny.
I dare say HBF is lucky you love him for his many other sterling qualities - because a joke like that is practically a hangin' offense at my house.
Aaaaand the dining room is Christened.

I roll my eyes at my husband when he tries to tell our 18 month old why he shouldn't throw food on the hardwood floors (which he wanted in the kitchen)and really get upset when he then does it. Come on, its a kitchen floor! I'm rolling my eyes just thinking about it.
it's not a tuber!! oh, wait....
He needs a new writer - oh wait... the writer's strike sure does suck the big one, doesn't it?
That's a groaner. Doesn't even qualify for a real laugh. I understand the eye rolling!
Bossy has perfected the fine art of Spousal Eye Rolling.
Heh. Nice try, HBF.
Gaaah.
OMG I think I might love HBF now.
That's the kind of thing Misterpie would refuse to laugh at, too.
Maybe I need to get out more, but I found that very clever.
He's definitely my type of guy.
I would throw tuber at him... but I would tell Wonderbaby that she used to LOVE sweet potato when she was a baby... That usually made my girls retry the food in question...but then they are gullible
Smartypants!
I love his quick humour.
*groan*
snort
He sounds a lot like my husband
"Thank you, I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitresses!"
It was kind of clever though. And "tuberously" is a great word.
Wish I'd thought of it.
That's the kind of pun that made my husband fall in love with me.
::::modestly smirking::::
I totally love puns. Good or bad!
I had to read it out loud a couple times before I got it. Then I groaned.
I choked on my dinner. Fortunately, it didn't hit the wall, but it did hit my keyboard, dammit.
That's the best laugh I've had in days. Thanks HBF for me.
Like I have said before. She is going to rock your world when she is 13.
hahahahahahahaha
aherm.
sorry.
LOL! I'm laughing AND rolling my eyes! Love puns like that.
I thought for a moment it was a Yoda impression. Then I groaned. MS would die of jealousy.
bahahaha! that may be coming up at a dinner table here in the near future... :P
Not bad,man.
Yeaaahhh, that's actually pretty good.
My husband says lovely things like, "Some hams just can't be cured!" about him and my son and the way they like to ham it up.
Ah, but it's endearing, eh? ;-)
Oh - that was good...or maybe I've just been hanging around too many preschoolers.
I think HBF and the Minotaur should be prevented from ever meeting. I don't think I could handle this household if it got any punnier.
HAHAHA...had to re-read that a few times to get it....tuber to close to you....and tuberculosis...ok.LAVANDULA
He's quick!
I thought that was hilarious but I'm European so that may not count;-))
OH. MY. GOD.
I just realized that your husband and my husband are twins who were separated at birth. Or maybe clones.
