Husband Mike and I are making preparations to plow through several episodes of Season 3 “Bones.” I am on the basement sofa, engulfed in our giant, white, down comforter that we refer to as “the meringue.” He is putting the DVD in the player.
Husband Mike: The final disc of this season only has three episodes on it. I saw that when we were at the video store on Sunday.
Sal: Is this the penultimate disc, then?
Husband Mike: Yep. [Pauses.] I love the word penultimate. But how come no one ever issues a penultimatum?
And that is why Husband Mike is eight kinds of awesome.
Hahahahaha!
You both are eight kinds of awesome, actually.
BWAAAAHAHAHA!
Tell Husband Mike he made my day.
I think a penultimatum is a warning though. I issue them all the time in the classroom.
hear, hear!
I love it when we pun and play with words! He’s a keeper, Sal.
(PS: “the meringue” = at least 5 kinds of awesome, in terms of naming down comforters)
Awww, so nice to reaffirm why we love our significant others 🙂
so and ultimatum before the ultimatum?
Today, it will be my mission to issue a penultimatum.
I love a brainy couple almost as much as I love “big words.”
My aunt is a high school art teacher in NJ (a Sopranos kind of environment if you know what I mean), and her students always tell her that they don’t like to use “big words” and ask her why she can’t just “talk normal.” This cracks me up. They actually raise their hands and make dismissive gestures (and say “big word…”) whenever they take offense to a particular vocab choice. I would love to be a fly on the wall…
Husband Harry responds, “How about an antepenultimatum?
HAHAHA awesome
HAHAHAHA!
I am going to start using that in my daily speech. 🙂
i love the meringue! and penultimatum, of course!
I like this Husband Mike of yours, he sounds like a keeper 😉
Awww, This is the kind of scenario and conversation that makes me long for a husband Mike of my very own.
Also the fact that I’m sick of taking my own photos.
Can you clone him??
