On a lighter note…
It’s been kinda deep around here the last couple post, so I thought I would share a little levity. I’ve mentioned embarrassing moments before, and I wanted to let you know that they are alive and well in our household.
Now, we don’t get embarrassed very easily, so these are actually more funny happenstances than actually embarrassing.
First, there must be some factory worker at the Hanes Her Way packaging plant that is evil. My wife has been wearing my boxers as undies lately, not wanting to buy “pregnancy panties” Well, finally, she caved and got some. So yesterday morning, while I was laying in bed, I saw her get tangled in her attempt to put on said panties…
“Wow,” I thought,”she is having some bad balance problems.”
In her mind, she was thinking,”Jesus I’m fat, I can’t get these damn thing’s over my thigh.”
The truth is, someone had put a size “tiny” pair in the package of normal adult size panties. What a mean little trick…especially on a pregnant lady. I hope karma bites them in the panties.
In another area of our life…I probably have a mild case of IBS. Certain foods hate me. So we…as many couples do…have codes.
“You might want to walk faster.” means ” I am about to release nerve gas into the general area.”
Well, for some reason, I decided this code needed to be updated. For some reason, the Dungeon Theme from Super Mario Brothers came into my head.
Sarah is a big Super Mario Brothers fan…so when this theme was attached to my warning of “FIRE IN THE HOLE!!!” she doubled over and tried desperately not to need a swifter wet jet in the frozen food aisle at Target.
So that’s the latest from the “we are not as cool as you think we are” front. I’m sure more will follow. Please feel free to share. We like to know that we are not alone in our coolness. AT least our follies haven’t landed us in this boat.

Jack and I have “Elfnut Alert” & “Elfnut Warning”…I kind of just got brought into the group on this one as he’s apparantly been using these euphemisms since he was a child. From what I understand…when some one in his household would pass gas they’s say “Did you hear that Elephant?” and when my hubby was a child Elephant = Elfnut. Later, for politness sake I guess, the Alert and Warnings were added, but Elfnut was kept. Sad thing is, we’ve passed it on to another generation…our kids say it now…YIKES!!!
