Everyone Knows A Date Is A Free Meal, So Eat Up!
Last Thanksgiving while waiting for the turkey, the H and I had the pleasure of sitting next to some children.
I like children.
And not in the creepy way.
I thought I would strike up a conversation, otherwise things were going to get progressively awkward. Now I know at my age it’s to soon to start complaining about feeling “old”, but I must say, conversing with children never fails to highlight my advancement in years.
So I struck up a conversation with the boy I was sitting next to. I asked hard hitting questions like: “What’s your favorite food?” and “What cartoons do you like?”
Then we got to the issue of color. The conversation went something like this:
Me: So what’s your favorite color?
Boy: Pink.
(The H having heard this, shoots him a look)
Boy: … and you know, blue.
I did not mean to find this funny, but I couldn’t help myself. The H and I spent the whole meal stifling laughter and exchanging looks. This conversation is still a source of entertainment for us, we often perform dramatic re-enactments and laugh our asses off.
The truth is, I have no problem with the kid’s choice in color. This whole post is a classic example of what a bad influence my husband can have on me.

THING OF THE DAY:
So, remember when I stood in line for three hours so a certain SOMEONE could get the autograph and picture of WWE wrestler Mick Foley?

uncontrollable laughing, that is what is priceless! Your Hubby has a great sense of humor I see!
Have a great day!
Single
I see visions of an interior decorating job for that little boy in the future!
Pink on a dude has its place. Remember Bret Hart?
And that autograph is pretty cool. Reminds me of that time my Mother came home with an autographed photo of Ron Jeremy. My Father got jealous and had her throw it away.
You two crack me up
Tell H he’s bad bad bad!!! LMAO!
You reminded me of a kid I once knew who loved his toy kitchen with matching washer and dryer… hehe.. wonder whatever happened to him…
Did the kid show you his “jazz hands” as he said the word pink? Just curious.
I would love to see your dramatic re-enactments! We do the same thing!
I am so impressed that even though H is such a bad influence on you (as most H’s are), you still weathered waiting in line to get the autograph.
Awww, poor little guy! He can’t help it if he was lured by the magnetic attractiveness of pink…and blue.
You guys are funny!
Cool photo!!!
very funny. (and blue is adorable)
Awesome pic with Mick.
I actually read his book in college. One of the few books I have read in the past few years. Very sad I know.
Funny story about the boy too. I am pretty sure pink will never be my favorite color.
Poor kid, you know he’s gonna have a hard time in school, but you know the H did him a favour, forcing him to correct himself early in life is a good thing, the other kids won’t be so gentle. But sheesh, is the H homophobic or what lol
Single in the City- LOL… I don’t know if I would say great. But he makes me laugh!
Mike- Hey hey hey, there is money to be made doing that!
WhatIGotSoFar- I do remember Bret Hart! Like I said, it didn’t actually bother me, but I frequently cave to “peer” pressure when the H is involved. Of course that’s not an excuse, but it’s the truth!
And LOL @ the Ron Jeremy story. That sucks!
Dawn- Yes, he is very bad! The kid loved his toy kitchen? I like to think he became a chef at a 5 star restaurant! People enjoy good food!
Mimzie- LOL… no. But I felt kinda bad when he was made to say “blue”. I mean I still laughed, but there was a subtle pain on the inside.
Keli- Oh yeah. That 3 hours was no joke. But he loves Mick SO MUCH it would be awful of me not to come with him and ’share’ that day.
Random Chick- LOL. I wonder what the H will be like if he has sons. Will they not be encouraged to take dance classes? What if they want to be a male cheerleader? We’ve actually had ‘real’ arguments over these types of hypothetical situations.
Meleah Rebeccah- Thanks!
Mr. Shife Yeah, the H is trying to get me to read his first one, but I can’t get past the first chapter. The writing is all over the place. But from what I hear, he does a pretty good job. Of course pink won’t be your favorite color as everyone knows LAVENDER is the best!
Carl- LOL… kids can be cruel. I know first hand! And no the H isn’t homophobic. He’s just a guy with an opinion like anyone else!
Hey, pink is a good color!
We saw a little boy totally rocking out to Britney Spears, doing her moves and everything and I was giggling and enjoying it until my husband gave me “that look”.
Monique- Woah woah woah. He was dancing to Britney? Hahaha. Yeah, I would have cracked up, too.
haha That’s a great story for sure! This blog is great, sorry I didn’t find you sooner. That’s a long title too
I loved how you clarify “not in a creepy way” that got me laughing
Phats- Hey, thanks for dropping by and the compliment! :-DD
These days saying you like kids can get you in a lot of trouble. I thought it best to be as clear as possible! haha.
I guess I should not ever wear my PINK pants around you two! LOL
I would have found that funny too.
But that is just me.
You know Jillian, when I was young I used to love pink too (*hanging head down in shame*) LOL!
Thank god I grew out of it. Cos with the color tone of my skin, pink would have been awful on me … LOL!
Happy weekend to you.
Frank- Yeah…DON’T…DO…IT!
Shelly- LOL… good to know! Sometimes we laugh at stuff that probably shouldn’t be funny.
Nick- LOL. If Pink doesn’t work, you can always go with Lavender.
LOL (big time)… The kid must have been smart enough to take the cue from H… good one from H…
The only thing I didnt like about Bret Hart was his ‘pink’ costume…
Evan & his friends say that only real men wear pink.
He doesn’t like it. But he’ll wear it if they do, LOL.
Arv- Haha. Yeah, and I’m getting pretty tired of seeing it on Ric Flair as well. I can’t wait till he retires. Good grief.
Angelika- LOL. Oh well.
Ahhhh! I HATE the look! It takes a real man to wear pink! LOL!
Shari- Hahaha! You know, there is much controversy over whether or not men should wear pink and if that should be OK. I think you might be right. Perhaps in these times of turmoil, it does take a real man to wear Pink!
And thanks for stopping by! Hope to see you around again.
I was laughing before I even got to your blog. lol. There’s a boy in my kid’s class who likes pink too…
How you doing?
Natural Woman- Haha! Oh well, I hope the H doesn’t hear about this Pink “movement”.
I am well!!
pink is not a bad choice really. though I predict a future of either a fashion design or hair and make up career for him.
Monaco- Perhaps you’re right. But hey, if he winds up going into either of these fields he’ll have the potential to make more money than I do now. So I guess he actually gets the last laugh!
Man, that is all types of awesome. Not only is your husband cool but you’re an awesome wife for riding out the wait.
TOPolk- Suh-weet & suh-weet. Yeah, he was very excited. Mick Foley is practically on hero status in our house. I am very glad he got to meet him!
lol! That was great. I told my husband and he got a chuckle out of that as well.
My son used to paint his toenails - he just saw it as paint and he was 3. lol He’s grown out of it and now his favorite color is army green. He has to throw the ‘army’ in there every time! haha!
The_Mrs- Hahaha! See, green is a respectable color! And good to see you back online!
Aw the poor wee bastard liking pink and your hubby giving him the eye like that musta fair scared the socks off im.
Hahaha… it really was funny. My husband is of the school no man should ever wear PINK. Seriously… it really bothers him. I tell him.. he should give in to his inner metrosexuality. But oh well…
Thanks for stopping by!
