Our back fence-sharing neighbors have acquired a rooster... a really early rising (3am) rooster.
The squeaky bird at 6am doesn't seem so bad now.
Perspective.

Which kinda reminds me about a conversation I had with the husband the other day.
"I have a confession... we need to chat."
He smiles, "That's the kind of thing that leads into an 'I've cheated on you' conversation."
Isn't it great how lightheartedly he approaches this? Does he think no one would be interested in me????
"That would be bad, wouldn't it! That would really suck to get news like that!"
Smile slips slightly, "Yes..."
"Or if I told you I smashed the car, that would be bad, wouldn't it?"
"Yeah, that wouldn't be great news..."
"So in the grand scheme of things, you probably don't really care that I've been using your razor to shave my legs."
He thinks I'm crazy.
"I'm only telling you now so that you don't cut yourself on the dull blade."
In my world, that makes me a good, caring wife.
That stinking rooster is still crowing and it's 3pm. Surely he'll sleep sometime and I can go shout in his ear for a couple of hours. Do roosters have ears? Am I just bringing on something worse by posting about it?
I'm telling you, $50 well spent...let the kids loose. :)
ReplyDeleteShhh, it'll be our secret M24!
DeleteTHAT would be a great prelude to ANY confessions that really aren't that bad. You crack me up!
ReplyDeleteThank you, your name made me giggle! The images my mind came up with... ;)
DeleteI hate it when someone else user my razor, or aftershave. Well anything actually.
ReplyDeleteOh I do understand LL CJ, but in the big picture, the razor isn't as bad as running over your hat collection, right? ;-)
DeleteStupid rooster! And your hubby is lucky to have you looking out for his safety. ;)
ReplyDeleteSo funny! I love your humor!!!:)
ReplyDeleteYou made me laugh out loud and it is only 4 AM. I don't think my hubby appreciated that. But I did.
ReplyDeleteQuestion...did he cut himself??
Do Roosters sleep...ever??

You know, rooster tastes just like chicken. I'm just sayin'. ;)
ReplyDeletelmao oh my the way you set him up! i thought you really had crashed the car.
ReplyDeleteand if your boys had bb/pellet guns there'd be no rooster or tweeting birds? not sure what the pros and cons of all that are LOL but my uncles once shot a neighbor's rooster.
LOL...he should be happy you're shaving your legs!! And that rooster? Stock?
ReplyDelete3 am?? I think that's illegal. Maybe your son could go practice his trumpet outside to cover the noise?
ReplyDeleteNext step is to use his razor to shave that rooster. Or I supposed you'd need tweezers for that.
ReplyDeleteI feel for you as we had that problem with next door's rooster. Eventually they got rid of it.
ReplyDeleteRoast the rooster!
ReplyDeleteI think after I'd started the conversation with hubby, and he'd oh so calvalierly mocked the thought of an affair, I'd have let him cut himself on the dull razor. Obviously, you're the better person here. ;P
I think it was VERY fair of you to give him fair warning on the razor. You are a good wife!
ReplyDeleteYou ARE a super thoughtful caring wife! Clearly I need to premise things like that more often!
ReplyDeleteAlso- the Chelsea Garden Show is May 22 for a few days. If you happen to wander that way make sure you've got your camera! LOL!
