Crap.
The knife needs sharpening.
This is not my job.
I've pointed out before that sharpening the knife involves handing all metal objects to The Husband, firmly plugging my ears with my fingers and shouting LA LA LA at the top of my lungs in order to drown out the screeching sound of metal gliding against metal.
Geez! I can hardly type that!! [*dry heave*]
Last night was no different.
Well, actually it was, otherwise I wouldn't be writing about it, would I?
I hand the knife and the blade sharpener over to the husband. He grins his evil grin and takes one in each hand. He glances over at me, raises an eyebrow as if to ask, Ready?
I plug my ears, squeeze my eyes shut and prepare to start with the La La La-ing.
When suddenly, I hear, at the top of his lungs, The Husband ...
HER NAME IS RIO
AND SHE DANCES ON THE SAND!
JUST LIKE THAT RIVER
TWISTING THROUGH A DUSTY LAND
AND WHEN SHE SHINES
SHE REALLY SHOWS YOU ALL SHE CAN
OH RIO,
RIO DANCE ACROSS THE RIO GRANDE!
I am laughing my head off.
He's giggling like a maniac.
And the knife was sharpened without me even noticing.
God bless his little psychotic heart!

lmao! i have the Rio cd on in my car - usually i skip the title track and go straight to hungry like the wolf (which would have been a better choice for TH to sing considering you were making dinner...but i digress) but today i was singing Rio! we share such a close psycho - i mean psychic - bond, TH and i!
He knows Duran Duran? I like him even more!!!
And considerate, too!
I hate knife sharppening too so could you have your knives sharpened before I come over please.
Also I've never heard the hubby sing so I'm not sure which would be worse to hear...lol
i don't know what i hate most, sharpening knives or duran duran. honestly. they both get on my last nerve. sorry.
ask hubby to come up with another song for me wouldya?
:-)
I agree with Clippy Mat - I'd almost rather hear the knife on metal, LOL. But, since the intent was so pure, you've got to give him credit. My husband, on the other hand, would take great delight in sharpening the knife close to my ear to WATCH ME SQUIRM and DRY HEAVE!
