Andy is ignoring me.
I am TRYING to ask him if I look like this lady when I wear a bathing suit.
But he isn’t responding to my gchat from the bedroom.
Andy LOVES when I play the Am I as Fat as This Person!? game.
Second only to the Swear to Fucking God You’ll Tell Me if I Get as Big as That Guy Over There game.
And the OMG Does This Bra Give Me Back Fat game.
Oh, and the Boys, You Need to Wait Outside Because We are Having a Super Secret Closed Door Meeting with Santa About Next Year’s Presents game.
Except he actually does like that game, because it means we get to do it. With almost all our clothes off. It depends on how many lights are on and how skinny I am feeling that day.
It’s just, some days I need to feel pretty. Andy hates those days.
Me: Name 3 celebrities who are prettier than me.
Andy: Please don’t call me at work about this stuff anymore.
Me: So….there are too many to list?
Andy: There are none to list, now seriously, I have to go fix a problem.
Me: Well, what about my friends. Which of my friends are prettier than me?
Andy: *Sigh*
Me: If you love me, you will be honest with me. I just want to know who you are going to try to have sex after I die.
Andy: Why are you dying?
Me: Why does anything die, Andy? Nobody knows. It’s like solar eclipses.
Andy: Actually it’s not. Most things die based on some kind of scientific reason. And, I think you misunderstand what a solar eclipse is.
Me: I feel like you are stalling.
Andy: *groan* I really have to fix something here.
Me: …
Andy: None of them. None of them are prettier than you. In fact, I feel bad for your friends when you are around them, because you are CLEARLY the prettiest.
Me: That was kinda harsh.
Andy: Alright, I gotta go.
Me: You should have married my second prettiest friend, so after they die, you could have sex with me. That’s a no brainer, Andy.
Andy: Why do we have to have sex with eachother’s friends after we die? Why can’t we just be celibate and mourn the loss of each other for a few years.
Me: You live in a fairytale, Andy.
Andy: Let’s talk about it when I get home, I have work I need to do.
Me: I hope I don’t die before then.
Andy:…
Me: Mark. By the way. I would sleep with Mark.
Andy: Noted.
Me: Ok, now go fix the robots, so they don’t malfunction and start feeling human emotion and murder everyone.
Andy: The robots build cars, and they don’t look like people. Do you even know what I do for a living?
Me: Are you saying my job doesn’t matter? Why are you selfish 90% of the time?
Andy: That sounds like fuzzy math.
Me: Don’t use Republican jargon on me.
Andy: Anddddd you’re not making sense.
Me: Your FACE isn’t making sense.
And scene.
Everybody knows you are allowed to sleep with one of your spouse’s friends after they die.
It’s why we have wills.

OMG did I write this post? LOL Your logic is spot-on. Hilarious post.
I told Marinka over at Motherhood in NYC that I wanted to be a fly on the wall in her house in my next life. But now I’m thinking, if this is what goes on in your house, I might have to split my time between her place and yours.
Forget about being the fly on the wall. I’d like to be the tumor in your brain. Just so I could see what you’re thinking.
See where I went with that? Just so Andy could have sex.
This comment is equal parts genius and hilarity!
I am keeping the “meeting with Santa” idea locked up for when I have kids…..great idea!
I hate all of my husband’s friends except this one hot Asian he works with at UPS.
But I would pretty much give it up to any Asian.
All married people should have this conversation and if they don’t, well, that’s just bad planning.
Dude. I am SO bringing it p to my priest, because this is suspiciously missing fro the whole dumb ass marriage counseling thing you have to sit through before the wedding. Finances? Personality tests? Family Planning? How about bone planning. As in…who you plan to BONE.
You’re welcome, Catholics.
HAHAHA I only give it up to Asian’s…it’s why I now have a hybrid baby!
dammit…that wasn’t supposed to be Asian’s **erph**
DUDE!
1. “Your face” is ALSO an argument ender in my family.
2. Polka dots are very slimming. Or fattening. AH! I can’t remember…
3. I’ve never seen you close up, but I’m pretty sure you’d rock that bikini AND you have really pretty hair.
So, that being said, have a great day
Yay! I SO do this with my hubby. Um, it may or may not have happened this morning, with me asking if my ass looked big in my pants. However, mine resulted in groping.
Now? the pic of the lady in the bikini? Think i met her on my trip to cancun in February.
Love your blog post. Spot on!
Is it weird that I kinda want that bathing suit?
“Your FACE isn’t making sense.”
Can I use that or is it trademarked?
And my husband is screwed because unfortunately, I don’t have any friends (in real life anyway) so he is just going to have to have sex with himself! =)
I play that game too! “Fatter or thinner than that lady?” “Fatter or thinner than that guy?”
It’s a test, though, because sometimes I throw in someone who’s WAY thinner than me, and if he says I’M thinner, then my response is, “That was a test. You lose, your word means nothing to me from this point on.”
Or if he decides that I’m equally as fat as someone I believe is actually fatter than me, then we break it down body part by body part until he sees it my way.
It’s all part of the training.
Also, for a chubbo? That lady is remarkably ripple-free.
oh, we play the “is she fatter than I am?” game a lot.
It’s my husband’s favorite…I am sure of it. heh.
Ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!! Brilliant!
hi. I’m amanda, nice to meet you.
Few things
1) you are me but smarter because you have advertising on this jaunt and I’m too retarded to figure that shit out
2) anal sex? no.
3) Ohio…. you have some giant amusement park there right? I’m in pennsyvlania. We have amish. And Neiman marcus.
That’s all, clearly I’m new.
I would take amish over rollercoasters…I am a puker.
Ha, I totally do this to my husband too.
Poor Andy.. He knew he was going to lose the argument right? We don’t play those games at my house because hubby takes it too far and I get really pissed and have to beat him up (or withhold any sex for unspeakable amounts of time) and then bring it up for the next 10yrs. *ahem*
Anyhoo, just wanted to say that I love to read your blog
when I play this game with my husband, he always PAUSES AND THINKS BEFORE HE ANSWERS.
I lose even when I win.
Never fails that you have me laughing
Again, a much needed smile and giggle.
I should read you more often, or save it all up for the bad days so I can smile and giggle to bring me up.
Hmm, now I’m screwed cuz I wouldn’t sleep with ANY of my husbands friends…..
Thanks so much for including my plus size swimsuit shop on your blog. Thanks to you, I’ve received many inquiries and orders for my designs. Even if you do make fun of my beautiful models, it’s all free publicity!
Well there is no way I would EVER look that good in a bikini. EVER.
10 years ago? Sure.
But now? Stuff would be hitting the floor.
I linked back to you in the hopes that it would send traffic your way, I am glad to see it has!
Once again you have done it… brought me to utter tears with this post… thanks! I needed that!!
Seriously, the “Am I fatter than…” game NEVER makes me feel any better…esp since my husband used the standard, generic, “no, you’re thinner” reply. So why do I keep doing it??! Oy. The joys of womanhood. Thank you for so eloquently saying what I never can!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH you’ve made my day. truly.
