Let it never be said that I like to prove a point. I LOVE to prove a point. Although I’ll always argue that I absolutely do not. Which I guess, is proving a point in itself.
Anyway, this post (and a warning, it really is about nothing much at all) eventuated over a discussion in my kitchen tonight. I will set the scene for you.
Husband and I were about to embark on a romantic Saturday evening together…hang on no I can’t lie to you. We had just done the dishes and were about to go and sit in separate rooms and do computer type stuff.
So I thought it might be nice to have a little snack to enjoy with our work. I proceeded to take the yummy raw treat I had purchased from Healtheze at Hillaries today (FYI it’s called “Naked Knickers” and is super awesome). I asked husband if he wanted one, as I had very kindly purchased two when I was in the café (whilst he was outside with the girls eating his massive gelato). Sorry I had to get that in there (hence the picture for this post, as that’s how he will feel after reading it).
ANYWAY…so this was our convo (sorry it looks long but you have to read it all to get the picture):
Me: would you like your knickers?
Husband: what?
Me: the naked knickers I brought you today from the shop.
Husband: what is it?
Me: ummm…it’s caramel and chocolate and nuts.
Husband: no – what is it really?
Me: I told you – caramel, chocolate and nuts.
Husband: no it’s not. That’s what really annoys me about you health people – why can’t you just tell the truth. You are always making things out to be something they are not. Just be honest about it.
Me: I am being honest. That’s what it is. The label in the café even had the ingredients on it. I knew what I was buying (another FYI the people in the store didn’t look deceptive at all. They seemed like really nice people…and looked so healthy. But I digress).
Husband: well what’s in the chocolate?
Me: I’m guessing cacao and rice malt syrup….(cue annoyed grimace and vague hand gestures)
Husband: well that’s not chocolate.
Me: yes it is – cacao is chocolate. What’s the (insert expletive) definition of chocolate?
Husband: cocoa, milk and sugar. That’s the traditional recipe (that’s not exactly what he said, I can’t remember as I was too fired up thinking of what the definition was).
Me: well I don’t think so. But whatever, do you want the knickers or not?
And at that point I took my knickers and came and sat down to look up the definition of chocolate. Which happens to be (I got two definitions just in case):
After finding that out, I immediately tweeted about it (which is how I roll these days, being tech savvy and all), in order to tell the world how awesome (and right) I am.
I then typed out this post, to bask a little more in my awesomeness. I love being right.
Do you?
P.s. for Perth peeps, Healtheze is seriously good. And so were the Naked Knickers.
Hahaha that is too funny. I would have done exactly the same. However were arguments settled before google I wonder?
Leaving some fairy wishes and butterfly kisses from #teamIBOT
I know!!! I don’t remember, but I’m glad it is around now..he he thank you for reading :)
Oh I love it! I agree with Rhianna, how did couples deal with arguments before Google? The divorce rate should be going way down now that we can actually resolve these kind of disputes. We have these kind of discussion All The Time in our house. Often over MUCH more trivial matters. We have the cultural differences and language misunderstandings cards thrown in just to make it extra fun.
Having said that, and I know you will hate me for this, but I totally see where your husband is coming from ;-)
Yes I can imagine what you would discuss (and google!). Ok, ok I admit I can kind of see his point..sort of….he didn’t eat it in the end after all that! He said “it’s not that I don’t like it but..” he he. That’s why there is a tub of icecream in the freezer now I suppose (not brought by me I should add).
Oh but technically, you definitely win.
Bahahhaahhahha! I would not have even questioned it. You would have had me at chocolate, caramel and nuts. Being right always tastes good though…
he he I’ll remember that if we ever meet up! You would be a good taste tester. And I agree, it sure does! :)
I’m a bit of a smarty pants too and LOVE it when I’m right, which is becoming more commonplace these days and it’s driving hubby batty. I wouldn’t have even bothered to offer it, next time I’m sure you won’t! x
Yes I think I might have to scale back a bit on the “I told you so’s” thrown around here…maybe..and correct, next time I might just buy one. Or two and eat both. he he x
We are always right, (even when we are wrong, there will be some way around it) he’ll just have to get over it xxx
Thanks Rae, I knew you would be on my side! ha ha x
