Our fourth (!!!) wedding anniversary is rapidly approaching, and I’m feeling nostalgic these days. While I have a couple of sweet (read: mushy) posts planned for this month, I thought I would go ahead and do a silly one too. Basically, whenever Michael says something funny (and I’m quick enough to record it), I store it in the Notes app on my iPhone. When I have a few collected, I turn them into a post.

Ladies and gentlemen, here’s the fifth installment of SMHS. Enjoy.

LfT: How’s your day?
Michael: Busy. I’m running around with my head cut off.
LfT: I think you mean, “running around like a chicken with my head cut off.”
Michael: That too.

Backstory: My mom bought a frozen cheesecake when she was visiting, and there was quite a bit leftover. Every night for about a week, Michael would take the cheesecake out of the freezer, let it thaw, have one slice, then put it back in the freezer. The thing must have been thawed and refrozen about seven times (gross).

LfT: Why do you keep thawing and re-freezing that cheesecake?
Michael: The label says, “Keep frozen!”
LfT: (laughing) I think that’s just the first time you eat it.
Michael: That’s not what the label says!

Michael: You inspire me. You’re my muse (pronounced like: mm-youse).
LfT: You mean “muse”?
Michael: Yeah, that.

LfT: I think I’m getting sick.
Michael: I never get sick. I’m healthy as a lark.
LfT: It’s “happy as a lark” and “healthy as a horse,” hon.
Michael: Whatever.

After dinner tonight…

LfT: Are you going to have some wine?
Michael: Yes, to cleanse my palate.

LfT: I should have been an actress.
Michael: I think I’d be better at Broadway.
LfT: Honey, you have to be able to sing to be on Broadway.
Michael: Not all the people on Broadway can sing.
LfT: Pretty sure they can.
Michael: You don’t know! I was in all kinds of plays when I was younger! I had all the leading parts!
LfT: How many plays?
Michael: Well, two.
LfT: What parts did you play?
Michael: In the first one, I had the lead! I was Ebenezer Scrooge.
LfT: What about the second one?
Michael: I don’t know. It was some historic play. I didn’t have the leading role.
LfT: So you’ve had the leading role in one play?
Michael: I didn’t try out for the leading role in the second play. Every time I tried out for a part, I got it!
LfT: You mean, both times?
Michael: You think that’s a coincidence? I could have been the next Neil Patrick Harris!

Conclusion: There’s never a dull moment in the [from Texas] household. :)
