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.

Oh gosh, I love practical jokes! I knew you were my sister from another mother. I would totally not have been able to resist doing that either. Bless your husband for being such a good sport.
I am terrible at practical jokes, usually the recipient. That I always fall for them makes me the target in this family much of the time. When I try to sneak up on anyone, I give it away every time because I always laugh first and sometimes startle myself 🙂
I’m definitely not the practical-joke type, but neither is my husband. We’re a great match. It sounds like you two are a great match, too. Watch your butt – I mean your back – ha!
I wasn’t Eva, but we sure do like to laugh together. I bet you live in a bit more peace, being non practical jokers. I “assume” one is coming, leaving me watching, far more frequently than one happens. My kids learned this skill and used to delight in putting plastic bugs in/on the toilet paper to surprise me one night.
Once, they went so far as to make a contraption that lowered a spider onto me as I closed the door and sat on the toilet. It was rigged to the door handle.

That was just awesome!
Too funny! I love this!
