Good Morning!!
First of all, I would like to applaud your bravery and skills in dealing with my husband. I know
ALL too well the shenanigans (there’s another word for your list, Elizabeth!) that he pulls on you sweet ladies. I’m the one to whom he brags upon arriving home. I hear all about the ridiculous pictures he draws on the break-room’s dry erase board. I know that he gave Katie a package of Pimento Loaf for her birthday, and I was supposed to laugh when he told me about all of the pranks (fake roach, bugs, etc) he pulled on Donna.
Ladies, I feel your pain.
I am completely astounded that none of you has strangled him yet — I certainly would if I had to put up with all of the pranks, jokes, and witticisms that he dishes out.
And. . . . that’s why I would like to give you sweet, patient ladies a little “ammo.” I don’t consider this to be an act of treachery or disloyalty. No, this is a matter of stepping up to help some sisters out — ‘Cause working with Hubby means you NEED all the help you can get!
(1) Hubby is TERRIFIED of scary movies. Yep, my big, 34-year-old MAN can’t watch a scary movie — he stays scared for weeks! (of course, I’m kind of with him on this .. . but that’s beside the point)
(2) Hubby can’t STAND meat dishes that call for cinnamon. But, he also is the kind of guy that will eat whatever he’s served (I’m sure y’all know THAT’S true!). So . . . IF someone were to “make him something special,” he would be soooo appreciative.
(3) Hubby is SICK about his precious Aggies and their lack of football prowess. He nearly cries (and cusses) during every game. So, any Longhorn or Tech talk will REALLY get him back!
There you go — a few things that will help you along the road to retribution.
P.S. If you wouldn’t mind — Hubby needs to be “reminded” that he still hasn’t cleaned his fish room. Last week, he promised it would be done by the end of each day It isn’t. If you wouldn’t mind “kicking him in the pants” for me over this, I would GREATLY appreciate it.
Sincerely,
The Woman Who Has To Deal With Him at Home
