Marriage bloopers: This Is A No-Drill Zone
I should know better by now, I really should.
I had asked my dear husband to hang wind chimes in our new home. While standing on the chair, he asked me to hold the drill while he attached the hooks.
Eye-level with my husband’s rear end, my strange sense of humor kicked in.
Wouldn’t it be funny, I thought, to just drill him a little and surprise him?
So I did it, just a tiny squeeze on the trigger.
And yes, he was surprised (Lest you think that unkind, trust me when I tell you He is the Master of Practical Joke, and no butts were harmed in the making of this story).
Silly marriage bloopers make memories
That tiny squeeze, drilled a hole right through his pants catching the fabric and leaving a hole with twisted strings.
Regret set in until I saw his face.
His Butt clearly says in body language, “This Is A No-Drill Zone”. Seems kinda like it should be obvious.
My laughing beloved turned to our children and said, “Kids, that is a good example of what happens when Mommy acts before she thinks”.
I fell to the ground, trying to catch my breath between obnoxious laughing fits. After many years together, I still surprise him.
He does wonder on occasion how his functional, intelligent wife suddenly melts into a giggling 10-year-old girl. I keep him entertained though.
And then, I watch my back.
Because the joke will soon be on me…
