Brainella the Librarian did a post that reminded me of a little story I would like to share with you; it happened during pregnancy.
Let me preface by saying that my pregnancy was very difficult. I felt like I was losing my mind. The hormones did not agree with me. My husband was amazing the entire time and he should be given awards for the love and support he gave, but mostly it was a thankless job.
One night he went out, which he rarely did during my pregnancy, he came back with a slice of pizza for me. When he offered it to me, I asked if he would warm it up. Gracious husband that he is, of course he did. Paranoid hormonal pregnant woman that I was, I said, “Did you wash your hands before handling the pizza? I don’t want to get sick.”
He replied, “Don’t worry, I’m going to serve it to you with my ass cheeks not my hands.”
Well, I lost it. Full blown hysterics. Crying, fighting, you name it. He tried to explain to me that he was joking. I told him that if it was funny, I would have laughed.
My hormones did not see the humor until I started telling other people and every single one of them would just crack up. They were hysterical too, but in a good way.
Now, of course I find the whole thing hilarious and can’t believe I was such a big baby.

The pregnancy hormones make us all do strange, strange things. You

I would comment if I wasn’t laughing so hard! Thank god he kept his
sense of humor amidst the hormones. I was equally cranky and miserable
and I think my husband was pretty scared most of the time.

It is all a matter of perspective and hormones have their own perspective at times. Funny guy!

Made me chuckle. But I know that on some pregnant days, those hormones completely obliterate all sense of humor.hope he still bestows his humor on you.

that’s later funny. But I don’t want to go through that again!

Something for each one of us to learn is how and when to be snarky.
Pregnant, hormonal, mama to be is not the time. Glad the two of you
worked out the kinks and appreciate the humor now.

LOL. That’s a good story, one you’ll always remember and cherish (now).I’m so glad I found your blog, I’ve really enjoyed looking around and reading some of your posts. I really enjoyed ‘Sunday In My City’. Your pictures are great.I
live in a teeny tiny town (pop. 480) smack dab in the middle of the
Ozarks, so I’m not sure if I would have any photos of interest. I guess
I could post pictures of all the cows, horses, pigs and chickens. LOLI relly like your blog and I’ll be back.

This is hysterical, but sad, but really funny. I had hormone issues
too, so I can sympathize. I once lost it (completely and out of
control) because the socks weren’t dry. (I was doing laundry – at my
mom’s) And yes, they still make fun of me for that and it’s been 19
years. : )Popping in from SITS to say hello.

Hehehe…yep, pregnancy can do strange things to us. I’m just imagining
your husband’s thoughts the nano second those words had fallen from his
lips and he saw your face. Woops!I’m over here from SITS by the way. Love your avatar, love your site! 🙂

Hmmm… not funny i say but that’s because it’s hitting a little too
close to home. I can’t wait till I get to see my son and he lovingly
hands me my brain back.

That is the funniest thing I have ever heard. Did you become more germ
concious when you were pregnant? Because I would never ask anyone about
washing their hands before they handed me pizza. I just am accustomed to
being around germs all the time. Growing up around a farm will do that
to you.

Dropped by from SITS and thought this was too funny! My sister was the
same way when she was pregnant with my nephew, she was tired a lot and
when her husband asked her why she was staying so tired even though she
was sleeping all day she started crying and told him that she had done
more work in her sleep than he has done all week. Then she said “I’m
making a freaking human here”

Pregnancy hormones make us react to things in ways we never would have
otherwise. I can remember crying everytime the Gap commercial with
Luscious Jackson came on. A few weeks ago they were on the radio and
Hubs asked if I needed a tissue. I had no idea what he was talking about
until he gave me the gentle reminder that I was pretty crazy for a bit!
