Yeah, I am so in trouble for posting this, but I just had to.
I have mentioned previously that hubby is mega-cheap. Well, this is my reaction to one of his more than mega-cheap moments. As you can see, I spent $38.38 out of our joint checking account at Wal-Mart. This somehow precipitated into a fight, that went thus:
hubby: I can't believe you spent that much money at Wal-Mart. (Okay, I could be making up some of his verbage as I can't remember it clearly. I do, however, remember mine. Which is the funny stuff.)
me: I only bought things that we needed.
hubby: Yeah, right.
me: (holding receipt close to my face) Okay, I bought deodorant, because I thought that you were more attracted to me if I smelled good. My fault.
me: I bought warm vanilla room deodorizer because my friend is coming to visit and I didn't want her room to smell like stale gross whatever.
me: Then I bought 4 bottles of The Works tub & shower cleaner, because I use one bottle every time I clean the bathrooms and I didn't want to have to keep running out to the store every time I needed more!
me: I also bought 1 bottle of The Works toilet bowl cleaner, which we had plenty of already. My fault, I owe you $0.94.
me: I bought tampons because I thought that you didn't want me to bleed all over our brand new floor, but now I know I was wrong. I will return them.
me: Then I bought generic store-brand paper towels (against all of my principles, to try to save money) because we needed those. We are almost out of our other ones.
me:Then I bought some brillo pads to clean the toilets. I will return those and use my tongue instead.
me: Then I bought rubber gloves, because the last time I put on my pair, the middle finger came off. But now I see that you would prefer that my hands dissolve in the cleaning fluids.
me: And then I bought two packages of scour pads to help get the grit off the tiles in the shower. So I owe you $4.68 for them, because I am not returning them.
me: So there it is. That's how I spent $38.38 at Wal-Mart. I am a horrible wife. They should have kept me from walking down the aisle.
And then we busted up laughing.

Marital conflict management at its finest. Speaking of marriage, K thought "Pinky the Cat" was most humorous. Thanks for doing your part to strengthen ours! Have a good weekend!
