First, I promise not to disclose any plotlines of the season finale of Desperate Housewives and ruin the end for those who have not yet watched it. I'd give it a 7/10 - good but not great, except for Lynette (Felicity Huffman) who I adore and gets a 10/10.
With that disclaimer said . . . PerfectHusband and I were watching the finale together. At some point, based loosely on the show we began having one of those hypothetical conversations you can only have with your spouse. The conversations that begin with "what if" and usually end in disaster.
Hexe [during commercial, of course!]: So what if I died tonight - you wouldn't get remarried?
PH [mindlessly *clicking during commercials]: You're not going to die tonight.
Hexe [more insistent]: I could. Even if I die in the next ten years, I know you'll get remarried.
PH [still mindlessly *clicking]: How can you know?
Hexe: Because you're a man [ie: you need someone to grocery shop, cook, clean, do laundry, and find KK's damn stuffed rabbit everyday]. You'd get lonely.
PH [still mindless]: I'D GET A DOG!
Hexe [turns and stares at PH who is still mindlessly *clicking]: So, I could be replaced by a DOG!
PH [hesitatingly, suddenly realizing something is amiss]: I never said a DOG could replace you. [accusingly as though this is my fault] You said I'd be lonely.
Hexe [eyes bulging out]: I'd be dead and you'd be lonely, but you could fulfill that loneliness with a DOG?!!!!
PH [wildly looking around room for escape]: Oh, the shows back on. I think I should stop talking now.
Little too late, Mr. Not-So-PerfectHusband.

Men are perfectly useless!
I had a friend once tell me about a fight she and her husband had because he asaked her when they were watching Cocoon, would she have gone in the Cocoon without him and been young forever. She said she would and he huffed for a week. But because she was huffing she then refused to tell him that she would only have gone because she'd seen Cocoon 2 and knew that they'd come back to Earth to get him!
It is a good thing they are cute, otherwise why would we keep them around?
Well, mine changes the lightbulbs and takes out the rubbish. But he washes his motorbike more tenderly than he ever bathed a baby. Hmmmm....
