This is my life......

Joe and Em were watching "RepoGames" and the question posed to the guy trying to save his car from being repossessed was "How many months have the letter 'e' in their name?".  I'm ashamed to admit that this was an actual, honest-to-goodness conversation in my house last night:

"Hmmmm....how many months have an 'e' in their name?" Joe says to no one in particular.

"February. That's one. June. September..." Em helps him along.

"No, it doesn't. February doesn't have an 'e' in it."

"Yes it does. FEB....bruary"

"No, it doesn't. February does NOT have an 'e' in it."

Tsk. "YES it does! FEB.....F....E....B....."

"No, it doesn't."

"YES it DOES! F.....EEEE.....B...." Em's gonna kill him at this point.

"Oh. I was thinking of January." To which Em and I just look at each other.


I live with idiots.

Men! Gotta love 'em or else we would kill them...They hear but they don't listen - not even to themselves.

Helene said...

Haha Grace :-)

Joe-my hero. I do stuff like that.

Hobbes looks like he has the life. I have had similar conversations with my 12 year old. She is convinced she is right, even with overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

Pricilla said...

Well, maybe he was really thinking of August

BeadedTail said...

Maybe Joe just wanted another day being mentioned on your blog! It couldn't really be that he was thinking of January while Em was spelling F...EEEEE...B, could it? LOL

Daisy said...

I think it was a trick question.

Ann said...

Vanilla--Well, not at our house. :)

Hot Rocks--It has to be. At least he has an excuse then, right?

Chuck--Hee! Hee! Don't side with him, Chuck.

Grace--I love when Joe thinks out loud--it's very entertaining to hear his thought process.

Helene--It's scary to sit there and listen to them. I quit the conversation mid-point out of mere frustration.

Anne--At least you can say she is a kid! Joe is an adult! A very scary adult, but an adult!

Pricilla--Oh, don't encourage him!!

Beaded Tail--Shhhhh. Don't tell him I wrote this on the blog today!

Daisy--I think it was too. And in case you were wondering, the guy didn't get it right on TV either and his car was repossessed. :(

Ann--Hahaha! Please don't encourage him, Ann!!

Helene said...

Some come to your blog for the posts-I come to your log for the posts and for the comments. OMG you guys crack me up!

Lin said...
