Upon coming down the stairs, my husband stops in his tracks, smiles and says “Wow, those pants look really good on you now.”
And here’s where my brain takes a crap.
“NOW?”
One word. The word “now” is the only word that I am hearing at this moment. Nevermind that my husband just stopped everything he was doing to pay me, what he thought was, a compliment. But all I heard was “now”.
Let’s have a listen to my brain… He just said “Those pants look really good on you now” which must mean that when I wore them like a million times last week, that they looked less than pleasing. Right? It’s like saying “yeah they look ok, but last week… damn girl, not so much”. I mean, he could have just dropped the “now” and we wouldn’t be having this conniption fit. Well, he was trying to pay me a compliment. I guess it’s a compliment that all my working out is paying off… but wait… I didn’t think I looked bad in these pants before, but maybe he did and just never said anything. Holy crap, maybe I still look bad and he was trying to be nice to me tonight. OMG, I DO look horrible in these pants! Why didn’t he say something before?
So, as I huffed out of the house to the store, he yells after me “What did I say wrong?”
And I say “I can’t believe you said I looked horrible in these pants!”
My poor husband, he just doesn’t understand.

So funny girl!! My husband only compliments my ass when I’m wearing designer jeans. So I tell him because of that, he doesn’t get to complain about the amount of money I spend on them!
