The BIG bug....

Furry Husband and I like to go to The Rio for margs and Mexican food to wind up the weekend some Sundays. Rio is downtown in Ft. Collins and we parked about a block away.
ohhhhh - yeah. Come to Mama.....

We were walking past a big crowd of people and all of a sudden Furry Husband startles, slaps his face (HARD) and screams like a woman.

His sunglasses went flying off his head he slapped himself so hard and landed on my chest, making me think that whatever HUGE ASS bug he just swiped at had landed on me.

I screamed like a purple assed baboon and jumped about 10 feet sideways as his sunglasses (not a bug) deflected off my chest.

And before I could stop myself, I yelled in that very wife-like, accusatory, whiny voice that I only acquired AFTER marriage.... "HONEEEY!"

You know that tone? Like it was HIS fault a muther huge bug tried to burrow into the side of his skull, he smacked at it and I thought it landed on ME?

Where does that stupid wife voice come from anyway??

The large crowd of people stopped everything, they turned as one in slow motion to watch the screaming, spastic couple on the sidewalk, swatting at unseen large bugs....

Furry Husband laughed a little nervously and said he thought it was one of those giant bumble bees cuz it was so loud and hit the side of his face. I think it was one of those evil flying grasshoppers.... gawd I hate grasshoppers always jumping out and surprising your ass. The flying ones are the worst.

After we picked up Furry Husband's sunglasses, dusted ourselves off and made sure there were no giant bumblebees or flying grasshoppers anywhere we laughed so hysterically, all the strength went our of our legs and we stumbled like drunken sailors into the Rio....

I love it when men scream like little girls. John screams, dances around, and strips spontaneously for ticks. It is awesome!

Cheryl said...

He, he, he! Screams like a woman, not something any guy ever wants to catch himself doing. I wouldn't mind hearing my brother do that, though, just so I can laugh at his cowardly ass.

Hilarious story.
