Re: Place your "facepalm" Christmas Convo's here
Grandma: I found this key. I don't know what it belongs to. Do you think it goes to the suitcase I gave you?
Sister: No, but it doesn't matter grandma, you can't lock your suitcase anymore...do you want me to throw it away?
Grams: But it's just such a nice key! You can't throw it away!
This morning, I found beef bullion cubes on the counter.
Me: "Grandma, are you drinking BEEF BROTH???!!!"
Grams: "Well, I needed something hot to drink this morning, that's what I found."
Me: "There's hot chocolate right on the counter...and tea..."
Grams: "It wasn't open, and I didn't know if you were going to give it to someone as a present."
I will not judge your Grandma because beef and chicken broth are some of my favorite things to drink when I'm sick. DELISH.
Here's mine, and I will never let H live this down:
:In the car listening to music and one song has the 'Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel' melody in it:
Me: (singing along) 'Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel, I made it out of clay...'
H: You know where that song is from, right?
Me: Yes.
H: South Park.
Me:........... um............... uh............... what?
H: It's from a South Park episode, Cartman (I think? Can't remember) would sing it to make fun of Kyle (?).'
Me:................. Babe, that is a traditional Jewish song. It was not made up by the people at South Park.
H: ........... Oh.
Me: :DYING. LAUGHING. MY. ASS. OFF.:
H: Shut up.
This is awesome! Lol I love your Grandmother stories.
omg these are hillarious!!
Mine isn't as funny...
Last night Lance and I went to all our neighbours and dropped off gifts. One of our neighbours were gone, but always keep their door unlocked, so Lance left it right inside the door. We drove for about 5 minutes when Lance stopped the car, looked at me and said:
'what if the dogs get into the box?' (It's chocolate)
me: 'I doubt they would'
him: 'well chocolate is poison to dogs, and if they eat it they'll die... then all we'll have given A & L for Christmas is a dead dog'
So we turn around, drive back to their house, Lance moves the box to a higher place where the dogs can't get at it. Just as he is coming out of the house our neighbours pull in the driveway. L came up to the window and asked what was going on and I said
'oh nothing, Lance is just breaking and entering, trying to kill the dogs'... then we explained ourselves lol. They thought it was funny, especially since they had taken their dogs to her Mom's house the day before...
This conversation completely made my day. I'm cracking up!

I haven't had any good encounters this year but last year while baking:
Me: Now we need x amount if Crisco
M: okay.... Ooooo, it looks good. It's all creamy and fluffy. I want to taste it.
Me: {evil laugh in side, perfectly straight face outside} well, go ahead and taste it.
M: really?
Me: yeah, go ahead.
M:{scoops some out with a spoon}{taste}{HORRIBLE what-in-blue-blazes expression} uuuuugh! That's TERRIBLE!
Me: {dying of laughter} gasp, I know, that was so mean but I couldn't help it!
I'm giggling right now thinking about that!
THIS is hilarious... wow... I have a friend who is everything Southpark, ugh....
These are cracking me up! I would totally do the crisco thing to my husband. And the convo with him about the song is so funny!
The other day my husband and I were driving around and he said "what happened to all of the pollo loco places? But he said POLLO like Marco Pollo, I thought he was kidding until I respondend saying it the correct way. He asked why I was saying it so funny and that's when I lost it! I couldn't believe that this whole time he didn't know how to say it.
Another time not so long ago he did something goofy and when I rolled my eyes at him he said:
"oh come on, you know you love my corks."
Me "corks?"
D "yeah, you know, people have funny little corks"
Me "are you saying CORK like a wine a wine cork?"
D "well yeah but it doesn't mean the same thing"
While laughing histarically" do you mean quirks??????"
D ":/ oh"
Lol we still laugh about that

I have a feeling your H and mine would get along great.
I have a feeling your right. And it's funny because he'll use words like idiocynricies (which I can't spell) and convoluted and so many others that my little sister thinks they are great! Every "big" word she hears him say ends up in a achool

SHUUUUUUUUUUT UP!!! J and I had this same talk last weekend! J and L are brothers from different mothers..it's official!
Oh dear God.
I told H this and he gave a huge thumbs up to J.
okay, I have another one...
last night at BIL's we were exchanging gifts because they won't be with us for Christmas. SIL got a Bench sweater from MIL and MIL said that she doesn't think that Bench brand is sold in the US (I don't know if it is)... so she bought it in Canada after we came home from AZ.
Anyways, so FIL pipes up:
him: 'I don't know about Bench, but there is no Victoria's secret down in the States, I looked everywhere in the outlet mall (in Vegas) and they didn't have one'
I'm trying not to think of why he was looking for a Victoria's Secret, but I told him
me: 'It's an American company, Canada is just starting to get them now'
him: 'It can't be, because the mall down there didn't have one and they have everything'
me: 'That doesn't mean that there isn't one anywhere. That mall doesn't have every store ever opened. When was the last time you went looking for bras anyway?'
him: 'Bras? I was looking for a speedo... try to get that image out of your head'
