Dinner Last Night:
Hubz: What’s for dinner?
Me: Brats, gnocchi and fruit salad.
Hubz: Yum! Wait, these aren’t brats.
Me: What do you mean? Of course they’re brats.
Hubz: No, they’re hot dogs.
Me: They are brats. Look at the package.
Hubz: I don’t care what the package says, they look like hot dogs. They taste like hot dogs.
Me: Fine. Then we’re having hot dogs, gnocchi and fruit salad.
Hubz: But gnocchi doesn’t go with hot dogs.
Me: You do remember I’m tapering, right?
Hubz: Oh. Yeah. These brats are delicious. Especially with the gnocchi.
Happy Running!

HA!! Thank you for that laugh. Reminds me of this joke my husband found hilarious:
DANGEROUS: What’s for dinner?
SAFER: Can I help you with dinner?
SAFEST: Where would you like to go for dinner?
ULTRASAFE: Here, have some wine.
DANGEROUS: Are you wearing that?
SAFER: Gee, you look good in brown.
SAFEST: WOW! Look at you!
ULTRASAFE: Here, have some chocolate.
DANGEROUS: What are you so worked up about?
SAFER: Could we be overreacting?
SAFEST: Here’s fifty dollars.
ULTRASAFE: Here, have some wine.
DANGEROUS: Should you be eating that?
SAFER: You know, there are a lot of apples left.
SAFEST: Can I get you a glass of wine with that?
ULTRASAFE: Here, have some chocolate.
DANGEROUS: What did you do all day?
SAFER: I hope you didn’t overdo it today.
SAFEST: I’ve always loved you in that robe!
ULTRASAFE: Here, have some more wine.
Wahahaha! Your hubz is very wise!
Yes, he’s finally figured out that “yes” is the safest word during a taper!
Love it, Kirstin!
Even having read this, I still can’t help reading the title as Taper BRAT (short /a/), which I think might be an equally appropriate warning for your husband. 🙂
Yes, I was definitely going for the double entendre:). Cuz Hubz definitely thinks I’m a brat!
He’s finally learning. How many years did it take him? I just need some hope because we’re coming up to our 27th anniversary and my husband is still clueless.
It took a very long time, Char! 🙂
