Marital Delusions
January 25, 2007
"Will you eat the rest of last night's leftovers?"
"No."
"I could really do without ever eating that again."
"You're not supposed to say that to me. I don't like it when you tell me what I can and can't cook."
"I'm not telling you what to cook. I'm just asking you not to cook that again. And don't you want to know my opinions about things?"
"Not if your opinions aren't in complete adoration of me."
Comments
This is a direct invitation to STAY OUT of marital affairs.

I love that particular conversation, don't you? It vies for 1st place with, "But my mom makes it differently..."
Doesn't matter who says what line, it's still a pain.

BWHAHAHAHAA!!! That sounds like something I would say! It drives my husband nuts!

After making a meal that I thought my husband LOVED for 3 years now, he tells me last night, "Yeah, I really don't like that. Can you not make it again?" Yeah, you think you could have told me that before now??

What did you make? Roger is so funny. I like he sometimes says things that guys should never say. He is such a dude that way. so funny.
Oh, and thanks for the copyrighting tip. I'll change that sometime today... :)

For those of you curious about what I made for dinner the night before last, I tried a new recipe from the Kraft Food & Family magazine cookbook that comes (free!) to my home every three months.
Note to self: though super healthy, do not make it again.
(I like the cookbook because it has pictures of EVERY meal, PLUS nutritional information for EVERY dish.)

"Not if your opinions aren't in complete adoration of me."
My sentiment exactly. One time Mr Stapler complained about dinner and I grabbed his plate and dumped it in the trash. Do I accept criticism well? Mmmmmaybe not.

Seems like a perfectly reasonable request to me. (Your request for total admiration, of course.)
And yeah, what DID you cook?

Ha, I can actually hear this conversation and picture the pained look on your face and the small smile on Roger's

Awesome.
Roger sounds really cool.

He needs that tatooed on his head, maybe?

Leftovers are the poor man's leftovers.
Or something..um..like that.

What did you cook?
I hate most leftovers, unless it's from a restaurant.
I found you from 2,000 bloggers but I think I've been here before.
