LfT: I need a new show now that I finished Desperate Housewives on Netflix. What should I start watching?
Michael: SWAMP PEOPLE.

While swimming in the lake on the 4th of July:
LfT: (jumps into his arms underwater) Am I as light as a feather?
Michael: Yes, this is how it would feel if we were on the moon.
—
LfT: (singing) A whole new wooooorld!
Michael: (chimes in) …on Reading Rainboooooow!

While watching Why Did I Get Married Too, re: Janet Jackson in a particularly unflattering scene:
Michael: She looks like Death has warmed upon her.
LfT: What? You mean Death warmed over?
Michael: Whatever.

After getting my hair done super-blonde:
LfT: Honey, do you like my hair?
Michael: Yes, I do.
LfT: Is it blonde enough for you?
Michael: It could be blonder.
LfT: HOW? HOW COULD IT BE BLONDER. IT IS PRACTICALLY WHITE.
Michael: There are still some brown pieces in the back.
LfT: You mean highlights?
Michael: Whatever. It could be blonder.

Note: My sister and I are huge Columbo fans.
Michael: The guy from Columbo died.
LfT: WHAT?! WHEN?!
Michael: Last week.
LfT: Why didn’t you tell me sooner?!
Michael: I didn’t want to ruin your day.

While waiting for a frozen pizza, which Michael put in the oven, to bake.
LfT: It smells like something is burning.
Michael: Hmm, let me check.
LfT: (looks in the oven) Did you leave the cardboard underneath the pizza?!?!
Michael: Um, yeah. Was I not supposed to?
LfT: No! The cardboard will catch on fire. (Note: I’m not actually sure if it will or not.)
Michael: I thought something seemed weird.
Marlena says:
“I thought something seemed weird.” HAHAHAHAHA! I kind of love Michael. He needs a sitcom.
Mary says:
Well, I’m changing to this personal idiom. It is so…eloquent. “Death has warmed upon her.” Yes. Yes, it has. My family thought I was bats just now.
Tiera says:
Haha he’s hilarious!
Stephanie says:
The cardboard will totally catch on fire. One of my husband’s favorite stories from when we were dating, was the time I almost burnt his house down. In my defense, I didn’t think it would actually catch on fire (ha) and there were NO CLEAN pans, pots, anything in his little bachelor house (he was living with 2 other guys). The house didn’t literally almost burn down, but it was quite smokey! Haha!
abby says:
So funny! I love these posts:)
Diane says:
I love it! This made my morning!
Julie says:
Haha, aww Michael is so fun!!
Here’s one about my Ryan
As I am about to put one of our expensive new pots on the burner to boil some water…
Ryan: What are you doing?!
Julie: Boiling water.
Ryan: You can’t do that in that pot! You are not allowed to use any of the pots until you read the directions and care instructions for them.
Julie: Okay, where are the directions?
Ryan: I don’t know
Julie: Well how am I supposed to cook if you won’t let me use our new pots and pans?!
*silence*
Thanks for sharing and letting us laugh alongside you and Michael!!
Daniel Dessinger says:
Poor husband. I feel his pain. :)
Amy --- Just A Titch says:
My boyfriend’s response to everything is “I thought something seemed weird” and a shoulder shrug. I love it.
Erin @ The Speckled Palate says:
Husbands say the darndest things sometimes, huh? I personally love the Colombo one. Goodness.
And part of me feels like I need to do this for Winston, though he would KILL ME if I shared some of the things he said. Not because they’re bad or anything, but because they are so random.
Suburban Sweetheart says:
“Death warmed upon her.” Ha.
wishcake says:
LOL! Love it. I think that your husband and my husband would get along just fine. See, now there’s no excuse for us to not be neighbors. Amen.
Meg O. says:
My favorite was the “Whole New World… On Reading Rainbow.” WTF? So random and so awesome.
Liz says:
DEATH WARMED UPON HER.
I. Am. Dying.
Alena says:
I love this. I wished I could have clicked a “like” button after each and every one!
Reen says:
Myke DOES need his own sitcom!!
jimaie.marie says:
hahahahaah!! These are by far my FAVORITE POSTS EVER. You two are hilariously adorable and from here on out I will be using the phrase “death has warmed UPON her” :D
Chelsea says:
Okay, so yesterday I had to stop by the store to pick up some panty hose before church… After picking up a pair he, some way or the other mentioned, “sock hose”… I was like what are “sock hose”? Listening to his description I started laughing and said, “Ohhh you mean knee highs!!” lol
Erin B. Inspired says:
HAHA – I should really start writing down some of the things me and J say. They’re pretty hilarious.
Katie B. says:
This is so funny! Love your blog Lauren!
