My Ebenezer

I’ve told you already how sweet my husband is. I’ve told already how precious he is, how kind, how loving and what a wonderful daddy I know he’s going to be.

Today, I was also reminded of how funny he is. Sometimes intentionally, most of the time not! So here’s a list of some funny things about Daddy-O that I’m sure he’ll pass on to our kids.

1. We came up to a stop sign next to a golf course, just as an older gentleman was setting up his shot. He moved around and got his stance just right, he eased back with the club and then just as he was swinging, Daddy-O layed on the horn. THe man followed through with a swing, while jumping a little, and then turned to give us the evil eye. This happened just today.
2. Once, we were in a grocery store and we split up to find things faster. I was way behind Daddy-O (and so were about 3 other people) in the aisle when I noticed that as he was walking, with each step he would sort of lift one leg and kinda shake it a little bit. I knew what was happening so I immediately turned and walked the other way. As I giggled, I felt a little sorry for the people behind him who would soon smell the reason for his wiggle. Evidently, Daddy-O feels the need to “shake the stink out” after he farts. (sorry, I tried to say “poots” or “passes gas” but those words are just not as effective - Daddy-O doesn’t “poot” or “pass gas” - the man farts.)
3. My sister was visiting and she and I were sitting at my desk having a pretty serious discussion. Daddy-O was heading to bed and was saying goodnight and I don’t remember exactly what happend or what was said…..but something was said about mooning. (definition: Mooning - to show one’s bare butt to another). My sweet and loving husband walked to the far side of the room and yanked his pants down while bending over to show us hit bottom. What he didn’t realize is that there are two very important rules a MAN should follow if he is going to “moon” someone. Rule #1 - don’t pull your pants down very far. Rule #2 - just in case you forget about Rule #1, you better keep your legs together. Daddy-O did not know these rules. If you can’t imagine why they are important, well, let’s just say my sister got a look a lot more than just a bare behind. And we laughed so hard we almost peed in our pants.

That’s all I have time for now. These were all printed with his permission - one of the things I love most about Daddy-O is that it never occurs to him to be embarrassed!
