Stumble It!
"I'm going upstairs to get dressed. Do you need anything?" I ask Mike, my hair still in a towel from my shower.
"A pair of socks, please."
"Socks? It's 90 degrees out. You're wearing jeans and sneakers out?"
"Statistics show that if there's a natural disaster or an emergency situation in a building, those wearing flip flops have a 30% higher mortality rate."
:::blank stare::::
"If we were going outside somewhere, I'd wear my shorts and Reefs, but since we're going to a museum, I'd rather be prepared," he continues.
"You want to be prepared. For a disaster. In a children's science museum. By not wearing flip flops."
"Right."
"Well, I'm wearing flip flops. Guess I'm living on the edge."
"That's fine. I'll make sure to jump over your body while I grab the kids and escape IN MY SNEAKERS."

I don't know what to say! :)
Zombies have been replaced by natural disasters?!? Say it ain't so.
lol! oh that made me larf in my office! haha
Zombies are a natural disaster..
Sounds oddly similar to a conversation Jimmy and I had Saturday.
:)
LOL! I love it. Totally sounds like something my husband would say. Except all that he would really care about is that he and I are not matching IN ANY WAY. Not even the same color family.
The truth hurts. I think that same way Mike does sometimes. Isn't that awful? :)
But he's totally right! I wouldn't go to a museum in flip-flops either! Those things are dangerous on tiled floors.
-Eliz.
For some reason, I'm always particularly touched by men (OMG do NOT stop reading there) paying extra-special attention to their kids, be it for nourishment, edumakashunul engagement OR protection...
Even if he has to hop over his Beloved's flip-flopped carcass to do so.
It's a beautiful story [sniff]
Also to MadameQueen, my XY would rather run naked through stinging nettles than risk the remote possibility that someone cast a wary double take thinking we may have somehow planned to resemble ("is that a shirt you're wearing? I'M wearing a shirt!"). Solidarity, sistah.
That made me laugh for SEVERAL reasons!
For the record, I was wearing flip flops also. Although I couldn't see my feet, so I"m not 100% sure they matched...
I agree with Kristin...what do you say to that?
I guess he has a good point though. . . you could move faster in sneakers if a crisis occurred. So, yeah...um....but the fact his brain has already gone to an emergency. . . is scary because that means he's a lot like me!
I cannot stop laughing. That is MAN reasoning if I've ever heard it!
