Diamonds are a man’s best scapegoat 4
 |
While watching the Olympics last night, Scott pointed out that the headband I was wearing made me look like a cancer patient.
I argued that it actually made me look like an Olympic Swimmer, donning the signature Team U.S.A. black swim cap.
I then suggested that to be believable as an Olympic Swimmer, I’d probably need to lose a few pounds.
My observation was met with complete and utter silence.
This was either because Scott actually agreed with my comment, or was distracted by the riveting men’s gymnastics coverage.
Either way, if it hadn’t been for the fact that just two hours prior, he had taken me to the jewelry store to upgrade the diamond earrings he got me for my birthday, I just might have shanked him with a toilet brush right there during the pommel horse finals.

Awww, how sweet! I think you looked more like a swimmer than a cancer patient….though I guess I can see how Scott came up with cancer patient first.

Sometimes men say the dumbest things. My friend had a baby 2 weeks ago and has been up every night with her. Yesterday her husband said “Babe. I think you have post-postpartum depression.” Um, yeah, or maybe she’s just sleep deprived : /

Oh no!!! I don’t know what it’s like to be up all night with a baby, but I think it’s safe to say a comment like that would definitely agitate me!
Scott and I are both pretty morbid…so we end up having conversations like this a lot. I think because he works in health care, talking about disease in such a matter-of-fact fashion doesn’t seem strange to him

OK, so I’m with Scott on the cancer-patient thing, sorry. A REALLY PRETTY cancer patient though.
And I prefer to assume his silence on your ‘lose a few pounds’ statements was merely that it was so ludicrous that no response was required. Hopefully.
