Some levity

sarah0725

I was going to vent about how I'm having some trouble adjusting to living here, but looking at the threads tonight, it looks like we could all use a laugh instead, or at least a cocked eyebrow. So, a typical conversation in the Sarah/Charlie household:

Me: Why did you hang your towel on the shower curtain rod when it would have been just as easy to hang it on the hook on the door like we always do?
Charlie: Because I'm not normal! Only normal people do that!
Me: *switches towel to door* Okay, I just fixed it.
Charlie: Ha ha, that means you're normal!
Me: But I just told you I have this strange compulsion to lick the cats sometimes. Doesn't that make me abnormal?
Charlie: Maybe, but moving the towel just made you normal again!
Me: There's a cat right here. Maybe I should lick it.
Charlie: *opens bedroom door and stares at me*
Me: *licks cat*
Charlie and me: *laugh uproariously*

So, I think I figured out why my relationship works.

haha! My FI and I have weird conversations like that sometimes..
You really licked the cat?

sarah0725

Well, I had to. Otherwise he would have won.

That is a fabulous conversation One around our house is

S - Why didn't you bring the empty glass to the kitchen?
Me - *shrug*
S - I mean, you just went up there.
Me - I wanted to make sure you remembered me when I was work
S -* gets "that look' in his eye*

works every time.

Hehe that's adorable. Wouldn't be surprised if Charlie started using lines like that on me.

Haha. That's great.  I have a good "Dumb Things FI says" tonight.

He was watching Halloween II, which he DVR'd the other night.  As he's watching, they put Jaime Lee Curtis in an ambulance and say, "Okay, let's put her to sleep."

 FI goes, "Wait!  They're going to kill her?  They used to kill people like animals back then?"

I had no idea what he meant until he explained that he thought they were euthanizing her.  And that's why our relationship works--he just makes me die laughing.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

I would have done the same thing. Although, he's more the "Let me do something stupid so Leah doesn't win."

Case in point: Friend comes over for a few beers. Bets FI that he can't swallow 1Tb. of cinnamon without something to drink. I sort of scoff, and say "Ya right. He won't be able to." He tries. Fails. I am up until 3 am taking care of him, because he inhaled it, and had an asthma attack.

I have nothing to contribute... except I am using a Fiddler On The Roof song in my wedding.

staceytaylor0704

Which one Steph? Sunrise, sunset?

FI just looked over and asked if we could sell my soul so he could be a rock god. I said no. He then said he'd sell his soul so I could be a vampire.

I love this man.

I read the cat story to Scott.  "Wait... I'm confused.  Are we Sarah and Charlie?"

Belle2Be

ahahaha...cat licker.
I can't think of a specific banter, but we have marshmellow wars, does that count?

Tim and I have a verrrrry serious relationship. There are no shenanigans like that going on in our house.

You believe me, right?

PS: Sarah- I might have missed something, but I gather that you've moved to live with your FI? How is it going?

It's going pretty well. I miss my friends, and I'm not getting too much work done, and on the weeks that he works, I don't get to see much of him, but it is all worth it. It's nice that we don't have to travel so much to spend time together anymore.

*I dance around outside the Taco Bell we just had dinner at, with my arms folded like wings and shouting "caw caw!" while I strut around in a circle*

FI: What are you doing?

Me: This....this is my mating dance. I'm letting you know I'm ready to mate.

FI: *laughs* Right here?

Me: Well...no, in an hour or so.

------

Me: So what would you do if I died?

FI: Well, I'd mourn you for the appropriate amount of time, then I'd move on.

Me: *glare*

FI: Why, what would you do if I died?

Me: Well, first I'd wash the blood off my hands, then find somewhere to bury your body.

FI cracks up.

(He's 31, I'm 19. We make jokes about how old/young we are all the time)

*At the movie theater, I see that seniors get a discount*

Me: Hey look, you get a discount! Isn't that awesome?

*he points to where it says they also have it for kids under 12*

FI: Hey look, you do too!


I love us. We're so much fun.
