Happy FYBF Inter-Webbers,
Welcome to the Purple House. I’ll be honest with you. Today, I was going to do a seriously funny-like post about how I am really a teenage guy stuck in a hot 28 year old SAHM’s body. Featuring my mate Cliff. That’s him there, in the long white robes.
No, wait…
That’s him, second from the left. He just looks so much like the priest that baptised the Chop, I get the them confused.
I was going to do that post. But it seems that the new ad for Mother energy drink (you know the one? With the jet powered dodgem cars and the roller coaster of fire?) is the only piece of footage in the civilised world that has not been uploaded to YouTube, and the post is pretty pointless without it. As is this one, really.
Whatever.
So, instead, I’m doing this post here. Sorry. Please direct all hate mail to You Tube. And Coca Cola. For begin stupid enough to not make their ad campaign viral.
Why We Should Not Send The Man Grocery Shopping.
Reason One- 108 Matchbox cars. I kid you not. It was 99, before yesterday afternoon. The Man needs rehab on Hot Wheels.
Reason Two- Eight tubs of dip for 30 guests at the Chop’s last birthday. He ignores the sanctity of The List. And seems to think he knows better than The List that I have spent hours lovingly crafting.
Reason Three- Wheat free, gluten free, yeast free cake mix. Somebody must have called the Fun Police.
And, Forrest-style, that’s all I’m-a gonna say about that.

Yeah Mich, he is. If he wasn't, that would *really* worry me rofl!!
i too dread the 'hubby shop'. but if you try the gluten free cake mix, its rather delish. and is the chop allowed to play with 108 matchbox cars?
My man won't let me go food shopping any more because I spend too much – he is an accountant after all – but really, I just get the things we really need. Doesn't matter if I make a list, he still leaves off the stuff I really need. Sigh.
That is great! My husband has done shopping for me before- especially late in my pregnancy when carrying things home from the supermarket was getting too much.
The problem with us was miscommunication because I would write the lists in English and he would often bring home things that he thought I had meant.
Like grated cheese. He thought I meant "great" cheese and bought home expensive cheese which he deemed "great"…
Oh and once I wrote down potatoes and then (3) in brackets like that and he bought home three bags of potatoes.
UHOH!
LOL…… But match box cars are cool… Believe Me!
Easy to see there are no househusbands among you lot! Are we a dying breed?
Hi, over from Mummy Time!
Actually, I LOVE sending my husband to the store and this is because he does all the cooking over here. This means that he has to do the shopping since I have no idea what he needs.
I can, however, be trusted to pick up bread and fruit and veggies. And Diet Coke.
I sent my husband shopping just before easter. I was going to make a prawn curry for some friends of his that were visiting, one of whom i was told is vegan, but eats seafood (yeah, alarm bells should have started now). He came home with prawns and eggplant, but no curry or coconut milk. I had to hunt down an open convenience store on Good Friday. Turns out the friend was actually diabetic and couldn't eat the coconut curry anyway.
Ah yes I know the feeling… why oh why don;t they ever just stick to the list???
Jim only shops at Costco. Why buy a stick of butter when you can buy a tub of margarine that takes up an entire shelf of your refrigerator?
Happy FYBF, Lorisahm!
And WTF 108 matchbox cars?! Your dude has issues. Obviously. Heheh.
Maybe i'm odd – my man and i take our bubba and do the grocery shopping …. together. On a Saturday morning. We go to our local greengrocer, then the butcher and only buy our snack stuff and laundry/bathroom stuff at a supermarket.
We make an outing of it!
My hubby is so sweet too – he'll offer to do the grocery shopping for me, but no way! Our dinners would consist of chips and ice cream sandwiches. Then again, maybe he's incompetent on purpose to avoid being asked?? Hmmm, smart hubby.
rofl. must admit. have never attempted to send him unless its only ONE item. hehe.
I can't send EITHER man to the grocery store. They come home having spent 2x the money they should have but not carrying anything I asked them to buy.
And everything they are carrying, will add to the largeness of my rear.
