It wasn’t a yell.
September 18th, 2007dooce: The art of the inappropriate
Compliments are a rare thing in this house. I felt my response was appropriate given that Heather PUBLICLY complimented me. Certainly readers who know me as a clog-wearing groper understand.
And I earned that iPhone. o

Hey, she called you a pussy on her blog. I say that warrants an iPhone AND public declarations of upcoming sex. Sounds completely fair.

I think it’s funny! She has such a way with words. But then I am sure she wasn’t complaining either about the iphone or the s-e-x.
Or the clogs, I saw that picture of her wearing them.

LOL it’s better than “My husband and I go out on a date twice every week….I go out on Friday and he goes out on Saturday”

I personally dont mind the Croc - they look wretched on me, but to each his own. But be careful of Leta’s toesies…

Dude, if it was over a MICROPHONE, it didn’t need to be yell.

Your history as a wife-groper was the first thing that came to mind when I read that. I’m not sure which is worse to be announcing to all the readers. Pretty sure the Croc wearing trumps them both, though.

The first time we met our daughter’s kindergarten teacher, my husband introduced me as his wife and a friend who was standing with us as his girlfriend.
It’s a thin line between “mildly inappropriate but funny” and just plain “stupid.”
I live trying to balance on that line.

Ahh, the joys of the marital minefield:
Sex and money.
Toss “power” into that mix and you’ve got yourself a ball game! :-]

I think this deserves the new iphone and ipod. You know she loves the attention! (plus you get new shit)

Are you aware that the ceo (or maybe it was the founder) of crocs is a huge republican fundraiser? I cannot remember where I read this but I think it’s reliable info. Please do not flame the messenger.

Oh what? Now you tell her when she’s getting laid? In my experience that sort of arrangement seems unlikely.
September 19th, 2007 at 2:33 pm
I’d be stoked if my husband said that to me anytime!

At one of our OB appointments during my pregnancy with our daughter, as my female midwife sticks her hand ‘up there’, my husband shakes his head, sighs, and says, “You have the best job in the WORLD!”
Awkward silence.

I’m confused, advertisers are paying you to have sex with an iPhone?

It’s safe to wear Crocs in Utah because there are no escalators.
Your wife is sassy and funny and wonderful, you lucky man…

When I was a teacher I loved that kind of parent exchange at pickup. Gives you some something to act out in staff meetings. “I’m going to be Leta’s mom, and when I’m all like ‘my kid’s going smoke my crack because of scabby Janey’, you get to be the dad and go apeshit. Wait, first, put on those clogs. Okay, go!”

I agree with Amy, I would love to hear my hubby say that. He’s much too politically correct to say something like that in public. Just once I would love to hear him say something somewhat inappropriate. I would consider him insanely sexy (not that I don’t already, he would just be more-so at that moment.)

Score.

Blurb fans agree - you earned the iPhone AND some lovely accessories.
