Yockeyite Banter - Part Three

H: (while vacuuming) Hm... You've been sitting at the desk recently. Know how I can tell?
A: (looks over) ....there are lots of crumbs on the floor?
H: Yup.
A: ...I'm a crummy person.

While Husband Man was teaching his nephew the YMCA song...
Nephew: Y! M C E!

While waiting for our order at Taco Bell...
A:  I wanted, like, four chicken quesadillas but I didn't ask because I figured you'd get after me...
H: I'd tell you it wouldn't all fit in your tummy.
A: I'd make it fit!
H: You'd fill your stomach and all the way up--you'd have a bid of quesadilla hanging out your nose!
A: (laughs)

This one time, when Husband kissed me, his nose was runny and dribbled on my nose. Sous Chef thought it was hilarious....
S: When you're kissin' your hunny, and your nose is runny, and you think it's funny, but it's-snot...

While texting my baby sister, the queen of puns...
KT: "Pew pew pew" -church interior designer
Me: Bahahahahahahahahh that's awesome!!!
KT: Thank you, thank you
Me: Oh mylanta, I'm still laughing. It's a shame I didn't get it right away.
KT: I know, it takes a couple tries

(This is the perfect image to describe my baby sister and her puns.)

While listening to some epic music...
A: So this is dubstep? I like it.
H: It's like the only new thing in music for the last five years.
A: Well... but what kind of music are we talking about? Because in the classical world, they're still coming up with kooky things...
H: Well, in popular music the only new things have been dubstep, and the slight blending of country and pop.
A: ...Thanks, Taylor Swift.

While texting my little sister:
Meema: Remember my goal to be tan, ripped, and super attractive?
Me: Um, yes. That one was hard to forget ;)
Meema: I might have to settle for a farmer's tan, ripped, and up to the beholder.

Proverbs 6:12-13
"A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
"He winketh with his eyes..."
H: So God doesn't like smizing...

Daddy's Day For a New Daddy

No, Gummy Bear isn't here yet. But (s)he exists, so it counts! Happy Fathers Day to Husband Man!

I got him the best gift ever. A tie!!

But not just any tie...

It's a pillow tie!

You can inflate it!
I can see your jealousy through the computer. (Ok, not really. But you have to admit, it's awesome.)

When it comes to his impending fatherhood, Husband Man is all sorts of everything-- he's excited, unless he thinks about it too much, and then he's freaked out and worried and apprehensive and nervous and EVERYTHING.

We went to a birthing class last Saturday, a one-day class 8 hours long that went through the whole she-bang. We came home that night probably with deer-in-the-headlights looks. That class made it real for both of us. This is going to happen. Holy canole. How did Husband Man cope with this reality?

Preparation.

We have an entire hospital bag packed, stuffed with everything imaginable. The car seat is in the car, locked and loaded. Papers are filled out and ready to go. If I try and remove something from the hospital bag (the camera, for example) then it must go right back as soon as possible, no if's, and's, or but's. He has a list on his phone of who to contact if I go into labor, with everyone from parents to the guy in charge of music for church (so he knows I can't play organ on Sunday).

Husband Man's prediction is that Gummy Bear will come on the 20th. This Thursday. There's a lull in his homework this week, which would really make it the perfect time for Gummy Bear to make an entrance. So it really depends on whether Gummy Bear wants to be nice, or wants to be mean to his/her daddy.

Also in our near future is a new desktop computer. Husband Man has been talking about it for a while, since my laptop could drop dead at any time. (I'm convinced it will never die, just to spite me.) With the lull in his homework, however, he's been researching parts and comparing prices and getting advice from other tech people. So he found some of the parts on sale, and ordered everything we need. He's like a kid in a candy store, and is very, very very very VERY excited to put it together! I love him, he's so much fun to watch!

I'm very excited to see Husband Man as a daddy. I think he's going to be a fantastic dad, and I can't wait to see him interact with a mini Yockey. Happy Father's Day, Husband Man!
