Lingo Bingo

I really must start taking it easy on Husband – he’s starting to show the telltale signs of going off his head...

Sleep deprivation can induce strange things in people and,
you know he’s never been good with words, but lately this has become an epidemic.

Husband’s not the type to pay attention to detail – when your mother says, “Nice to meet you Christine, Are you excited for your matric dance?”

And Husband’s response is, “Mom, my date’s name is Christina”

And then the poor devastated girl pipes up, “Excuse me... its GINA”

You know you are in for trouble.

Lately this word jumble has gotten him into more of a mess than the sulking date he had to put up with for one night.

The other day I sent him to the Chemist to buy a Cortisone cream.

He came home confused and empty handed.

“Babe, they told me they don’t have Colostrum”.

Colostrum is the fluid a woman produces in the first three days before she gets her milk.

I mean really... can you imagine what that Pharmacist must have thought?

But the best had to be a few nights ago when he stuck his fingers together with superglue (yes.. this is the man I married...)


“Honey, I’ve stuck my fingers together, can I please have Tampax to unglue them?”

Silence....

I couldn’t possibly believe this, it had to be DIY hidden secret?

“You mean Tampax can actually help unstick glue?”

“Yes, just a few drops and it’ll remove it!”

More Silence.... More Confusion!!

Eventually after a carefully crafted game of Charades, I managed to squeeze it out of him.

Apparently in Husband’s world, Tampax and Cutex are synonymous.
