Before I go any further, know that my husband and I regularly joke around. That is just how our relationship is at its best. We don't ALWAYS joke around, but we make each other laugh and it is sometimes at the other's expense. We usually know when enough is enough. When we don't, we get out of the pool, walk over to the beach chair, pout for a while, wait for the other to see the pouting and then, when the pouting goes unnoticed, ask the other if they saw the pouting and why they didn't respond to the pouting. (This last sentence may be based on actual events.)
Here is an example of our banter, which you may have seen in a tweet of mine last week:
Me (on a scale): I HATE YOUR FACE, SCALE!
Him: Is it supposed to smoke like that?
*We both laugh*
(He's lucky I have a sense of humor.)
See what I mean?
(By the way, I'm on SlimFast right now. It's not because of his "smoking" comment, I just was ready to drink low calorie drinks for breakfast and lunch EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. I'm enjoying it. Can you tell. Can you hear the glee in my voice.)
Anyway, I thought I should point out the "we're just joking" bit before anyone took me too seriously. My Some eCard about my husband's 5-step plan for cleaning the kitchen offended some, I think. My husband is awesome and helps in TONS of other ways- just not in the kitchen. For the record, I know lots of men clean that lots of things in a house, such as my own dad. He cooks, cleans, does laundry, vacuums, mows the yard, etc. So, yeah, men are awesome. This is not a men-bashing blog, FYI. I've got two little men running around my house and I love them with all of my heart.
But, back to my husband.
I made a little chart about him:
He loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooves fireworks.
Can you tell?
He used to save some through the year when he was younger. He had a drawer full that his mother discovered once. He wasn't Timothy McVeigh or anything. He just liked to blow little stuff up.
When he's ready to shell out the cash, he's in front of the fireworks stand. My only request is that he comes back with some sparklers and some bang snaps for the boys and me. And maybe a smoke bomb. He usually comes back with the rest of the fireworks stand. If he could, he'd fit the whole plywood structure, complete with shady looking fireworks seller guy, in the back of the SUV.
When I asked him earlier what he spent his money on the most, he looked at me and said, "What do you think? Y'all and lunch."
You'll notice the "us" sliver is quite small, which, of course, is a joke.
It should be smaller.
That was also a joke. He spends lots of money on us. Obviously. He also spends money on charitable causes, too. I saw you giving him a dirty look. Gotta stand up for my man.
(Unless I'm the one making fun of him. You know how that goes.)
But, yeah, he loves those fireworks.
And lunch.
I'm not really joking about that "lunch" sliver of the pie. Whenever we are driving through town, I will see a restaurant I'd like to try and, 9 times out of 10, he's been there before. With work people. It's like they're living it up at lunch.
"PARTY AT LUNCH!!! WHO'S IN?? WOOOOO-HOOOOO!!!" they must all shout out at 11:52 a.m.
Oh, well.
At least he got me some sparklers.
And bang snaps.
(He forgot the smoke bomb.)

Well. It's nice to see a man that's got his priorities straight.

a sense of humor is key to a happy marriage!
Love his joke about the bathroom scale. We once got one of those scales that has a computerized voice that announces your weight. When I stood on it it yelled out, "One at a time!" I buried that scale in a shallow grave in the backyard. ---An old joke. Happy Fourth of July.
Ha! Dat boy loves his fireworks!
The man gets you bang snaps???
Shuttup.
So linking up now, anything to get closer to that dude.
It's gonna be one heck of a night!! I bet we'll be able to see your husbands fireworks all the way up here in the Pacific Northwest!
Sounds like your guys relationship is very similar to ours. My husband is one big teaser...I have to buffer him sometimes as not everyone has his sense of humor.
OMGggg,
I think I hear your hubs fireworks all the way in Duluth, MN.
Xx
Your graphic made me smile so big that my face hurts now... and I shared this...pretty much everywhere ;)
OMG! My husband is the same way with lunch and eating out! Thank you for sharing and our marriage is the same way too...making fun of each other, I mean making each other laugh.. lol
That pie chart looks exactly like mine if you replace "Fireworks" with "Cheetos and Whiskey".
