Foot In Mouth Disease

Excerpt of phone conversation with Atch.

ATCH: Aif, you're too much. You texted me two times. One after the other. TWO TIMES! You woke me up.

AIFEE: But I just wanted to know if we're buying the roast chicken for Woog's birthday. I texted you at 4 pm, you could've always gone back to sleep.

ATCH: Well, too late. I can't sleep now. You woke me up. Try and be more considerate, Aif. You know that we're usually still asleep for siesta at 4 pm.

AIFEE: I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Why didn't you just turn your phone off?

ATCH: Turn my phone off? Hah. What if a client calls?

(...WTF!)

AIFEE: You leave your phone on for client calls but your wife texts you... TEXTS! And she gets told off?!

ATCH: Well, Aif...

AIFEE: Do your clients get told off for calling? Hmmm?

ATCH: Aif...

AIFEE: So your clients can bother you in your sleep, but your wife can't?!

ATCH: Aif...

AIFEE: And if a client calls while you're sleeping, do you get mad at them too? Hmmm?

ATCH: (conciliatory tone of voice): Aif, I'm not mad at you. I was just saying...

AIFEE: Hmph.

ATCH: Aifee!

(silence)

ATCH: I'll pick you up later and we'll buy the chicken, 'k?

(silence)

ATCH: Wuv-wuv.

(silence)

ATCH: I WUV you!

AIFEE (grudgingly): Wuv.

End of conversation.


Moral (lesson) question: If you're uber-shrewish but you don't nag? What does that make you?

And for that matter....what does that make him?

Thank you for sharing this. I know, it's quite normal, having two children myself, but it's really funny! Think about doing a comedy vlog: "AIF & ATCH. Real Life Parents."
I'll get 10%, btw...

Hahaha! This is hilarious! I could almost hear the shift in tone (voice).

Way too funny, I could almost hear myself..:o)almost I said, becaus I would probably have sounded a lot harsher, that's what menopause does to us.
