Overheard: Husbands say the Darndest Things

An older picture of my two most embarrassing "children"

Setting: The Ward Scout Fundraiser Dinner

Paul (fellow wardmember, in the middle of herding one of his perpetually unruly --wink, wink-- children through the hallway): C'mon, let's go outside! It's raining!

Tim: No, it's not raining very much.

Paul: Yeah, but it's supposed to get nasty later on.

Tim (nodding): I'm down with "nasty."

Lady who is visiting standing just behind Tim in line: GASP!

"Timothy!!" --That was me.

A very red-faced Timothy: I meant that I like thunderstorms!
I guess Meriel gets her knack for publicly humiliating me from her daddy. Way to go, Mr. 2nd Counselor.

I cannot believe how offensive this was. I am shocked and appalled!

Paul is known for bringing out the best in others. It's one of his qualities that I love best.

BTW...with five kids...I just going to have to say....Tim being "down with nasty"..OBVIOUS....any parent of five would enjoy a thunderstorm...yeah..that's what I meant.

Irene...seriously...what do you have against thunderstorms?

The Gage Cage said...

Personally, I think thunderstorms are an amazing force of nature and great for entertainment. =)

You would, Krista. You would.
