I’ve told Tate many times that he should be a blogger, as I think he’s rather funny. He usually gives me a look that says something like, “And what? Be a giant dork like you.” I let it roll off my back. I don’t hold a grudge. Whatever, Tate, I’m cool.
So lately, I’ve been whining incessantly a tiny bit about being pregnant. Tate has tried to be sympathetic, but I think I’m wearing on his last nerve. I complain about not sleeping. I complain about the alien limb that’s been jabbing my lung. His new response to my complaints is, “I blame my testicles.” Thank you for acknowledging your involvement my discomfort.
It has now become a running joke for all mishaps and complaints in the house. When Peanut is acting like a wacky 17 month old, I say, “I blame your testicles.” Actually, his wacky behavior certainly could not be a result of the DNA that I provided, that’s all Tate’s contribution.
If we forget to start the dishwasher before bed, it’s Tate’s testicles fault. When we forget to record his favorite show, Modern Marvels, his testicles get blamed again. Last month when we went over budget on “home improvement”, we blamed his testicles.
Really, though, aren’t many of life’s irritations caused by testicles? Just a thought. Please don’t hunt me down, my two male readers!
Speaking of testicles, we saw a pair of these (in all their silver glory) on a car just the other day. The word “classy” just doesn’t convey my feelings.
male guilt over our pregnancies is always helpful! *eg*
I love blaming his testicles for home “improvement”, which could also cover the pregnancy lol
Wow. You can get those nuts in a whole rainbow of colors…One for every auto…Nice.
I double dog dare you to order those for Tate as a Father’s Day present.
I blame all the worlds problems on testicles!
Can’t wait to get a blue set of nuts for my husband!
Ew…I hate those things they put on cars!
You need to have a bumper sticker made that says “Blame the Balls”.
I saw those bumper balls the other day and I thought they surely could not be what they appeared to be. I thought maybe I just had a dirty mind, but now you’ve proven me wrong.
Just think of all the uses for those… hanging out the mailbox, the front door… it’s the gift that keeps on giving, really.
Don’t blame it on Tate. It’s not his fault. You were the last person with it! :O
I’m liking that one—there’s LOTS of testicles in my house to blame!
And that website cracked me up!
So funny. I now wish I could use that… blame it all on my husband’s testicles. But, since he didn’t start it, it would just cause him to get grumpy. We’ve got lots of grumpy and cranky going on at our house right now. Kid and husband… both grumpy and cranky!
Bumper Nuts… who knew! I have to agree with Dana the World’s problems must be the fault of testicles.
Dana and Sharon…the original post DID blame ALL the world’s problems on testicles…when Tate read it, he thought it was a little harsh! So I changed it!
You’re a good woman to change the post because Tate didn’t like it. If it were me, I would have left it.
Ewwww to those nuts on trucks and all the different colors?!?!?!?!!?…I despise looking at them!
Yep. Testicles are definitely to blame for everything.
(Thanks for your visit!)
That is too funny! Joke or not, there’s alot of truth there!
Bumper nuts – oh my!
What do women blame, then? Our ovaries?
Our hormones? – gulp.
Dear Lord,
Please forgive me for clicking that link. I couldn’t resist. You saw me squinting and PEEKING at those truck nuts. I never looked at it with my eyes completely open. I only saw the one pair hanging from the hitch. And the squirrels’ swinging nuts. But, Lord, that’s funny. Really funny. And I closed the browser fast too. I promise to not forward it to my preacher. But his wife would really get a big laugh out of it. So forgive me for that too.
Amen
I like the “Blame the Balls” bumpersticker idea! WAH! I have to start saying this around my house b/c I am so over this pregnancy and HE doesn’t have a clue what i have done for him—really!!
p.s. by the way–i have never seen these car “balls” and now i will be looking! LOL!!! I wonder if they have them in S.Florida?
The testicles are always responsible.
BlogWhore, it’s our Whoremoans that we can blame, I believe.
AuburnGal, again, your comment is hilarious!
I want a set of those nuts! I would probably be burned on the front lawn of the elementary school in this town. I figure I live with all males, isn’t the car a male???
