quirky/funny FH/DH stories?

I just thought of something FH did that made me shake my head and love him even more at the same time.

FH LOVES lights, he does theatricl lighting as a hobby so you can only imagine what Christmas is around our house. Last year was out first Christmas we didn't have a ton of extra cash for lights, so FH waited for the after Christmas sales to stock up for this year. He hit every Home Depot, Lowes, Target etc after Christmas and basically bought them out!

At the end of January he started planning for this year and added up everything he bought only to realized that we don't have enough power in the house to actaully light all of the lights he bought (we have 200 amp service!)

he's a funny man and I love him

You guys have any stories to share?

LOL that is a great story! something my dad would do actually!

FH and I were discussing with his parents if we should have an A and B list for the guests. . . so I said if we do an A list we have to send them out early so the B list can still get them in time.

Well, we were discussing when to send them out and FH says how about January (MEANING OF 2007) an ENTIRE year before. . . he figured then we would DEFINITELY have enough time to send out the B list

Imagine getting an invitation a year early?

That is hysterical! That would certainly be planning in advance!

I have one....it actually started as a pet peeve, but now I just laugh. I will sugest an idea to FH, and he'll say no, not now, or we don't need to do that, but if someone else suggests it....(and he does this ALL THE TIME!)

Awhile back I suggested we call to reserve dinners for Disney (we are honeymooning there), and some shows, and all I heard was .. 'No, you don't plan all that ahead of time, you're planning too much, no we don't need to do that, we can call when we get there'....Blah blah bla.....

So fast forward to last week...

So, last week his cousin who had just gotten back from Disney comes over and is talking to FH for awhile, well FH comes over to me and says, 'We have to plan all the Disney stuff, my cousin says that is the only way to go, to plan it all ahead of time, all the restaurants, etc., he knows everything about Disney, he is gonna send us the links' Like it was the best idea he ever heard!!!

I'll play!!
After we got engaged, a lovely neighbor gave my mother an engagement card for us. She gave it to me, and there was a check for $100 in it, so kind and unexpected...

FH can't talk during the day at work, so I text him:

'Got a Card from Mary with 100 clams'.

He calls me later that day and here's a bit of our conversation:

FH: So, a hundred clams? What's that all about?
ME: Wasnt that nice of her???
FH: Uh yea, i guess...
ME: Whats wrong?
FH: Nothin; is that like a wedding tradition?
ME: What?
FH: 100 Clams?
ME: Whaaaat?
FH: a hundred clams? I told the guys at work i'll bring in clams tomorrow cause you dont eat seafood.....


He had never heard 'clams' used as slang for 'dollars.'

I'm laughing so hard I have tears in my eyes. What a cutie he is.

Just showed FH this thread and he's all embarrassed now! But thrilled you all had a good laugh at his expense!!

Here's another one; sometimes he tries to use those 'dollar words' with mixed success. We were disagreeing on some trivial thing and I was all 'well i don't agree. hmph'
He stood in the doorway pointing a finger at me and says:
'Hear me out... i'm phthph... i'm phlysyphth.... I'M THINKIN!!!'
Poor boy was trying to say... 'I'm philosophizing.'


Hope all of you have a few giggles with your FHs this weekend!!

Me neither...but now I will use it...very cute!

We have two kittens and we had a cat that passed this April ( ). Besides being awesome and supportive (like shelling out 700 CLAMS for a vet), he tells people when asked about our pets: 'Well, we have a serious problem with them' (looking all concerned). When asked what, he tells them, 'They don't know they are kittens', one thinks it is a brown goat and the other thinks it is a white bunny. He also would tell people that my old cat didn't know it was orange and white, and he would actually ask people what he should do! Cracks me up, especially when I am in a crappy mood!

I know it is silly, but I love him and he makes me smile
