Dumb Moments---Funny!!!!!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

DianaB · 05-12-2006, 05:57 AM

My husband is usually so organized and hardly ever has really "dumb moments" but yesterday he had one. He took my Tahoe and went to town to run a lot of errands and, since he likes for the Tahoe to be kept clean, he decided to go to the car wash. He got some change out of the Tahoe and decided to use the sprayer instead of going through the drive through, you know, just to kinda' rinse the dirt off, not necessarily "wash" it. Well, he let the soap run too long and didn't have enough rinse water to rinse the soap off and didn't have enough change to turn it back on again!!

Last night we were to meet my Mother and Step-father at a restaurant (we took them out to eat for Mother's Day) and on the way he mentions -- did you notice the runs on the windows? I had, because the back windows looked absolutely awful!!!! But, living in the country and driving on country roads, they usually look awful, but not that awful!! He explained what had happened. I couldn't believe it had happened to him, me yes, him no. He asked me if I had any change to go and rinse it off. Well, guess what? I didn't have [U]any[U] change so we're still driving my Tahoe with funny, soapy, long streaks!! I guess now when it rains I'll be able to drive and get my car shampooed all at the same time!!!!

Has your husband, a friend, or you had a "dumb moment"? Let us know about it!!!!

my husband has had so many dumb moments that we call them "Kennyisms" He's famous for saying things like "it was great but really awful"
Once, I was holding his cousin's baby and he started fussing. I said to Kenny "hand me his bottle out of the diaper bag" He goes over to it and asks "do you want the full one or the empty one?" Another one? I am a freak about picking out my calendar for the year. I shop and shop until I find the perfect one. Once in late October we were walking through a mall and I saw a calendar store. I said "Oh, calendars" he says "Why would you want to buy one now, it's already october?"

Last one: one year he was selling his brother's car for him and it was parked in our driveway. My kids were at the age where they tried hunting down their Christmas presents. So, I hid everything in the trunk of the car. We were sitting at dinner and my son says "hey Megan, after dinner lets go hunt for presents" I said "you'll never find them" This led to a conversation about me having the perfect hiding place. Megan asked if after Christmas we would tell them where we had hidden them. I said yes and Kenny said no at the same time. I said "why not" and he says "well, true. Jimmy's car will be gone by next Christmas". All 3 of us just stared at him and I was going to kill him!

Yup, Kennyisms, they are a way of life in our household.

Cute stories. Teri, your christmas story reminded me of a major screwup I do every year. I always either forget where I hidden a present or just forget it entirely. Now my kids always say Ok mom are you sure that's all? It's definately one of the ditsyest things I do.

teri88 · 05-12-2006, 03:54 PM

c'mon, we can't be the only 2 with dumb hubby stories! Post 'em here!

red98vett · 05-12-2006, 04:16 PM

My husband doesn't really have dumb moments. I DO. and my Dumb Moments are DOOSIES.

But....He was ALWAYS losing things ....Wallet - keys... and lately since he doesn't go out much - his freakin GLASSES.

he made me look for his glasses for 30 minutes one day.... and they were on his head the whole time

He made me look for his glasses for 20 minutes one day and they were in the FRIDGE

He made me......LOL....NO he didn't make me look for ANYTHING anymore - I wised up and make him look for his OWN glasses now ...then I just choose the stupidest place I can think of ...and start there

Bonnie's Mom · 05-12-2006, 04:44 PM

Oh Oh Oh

me me....I've got a good one!

We went tent camping with some friends to the lake. The other hubby had taken my oldest son and his son down early to get the tents set up and the boats in the water. My youngest son was 2 at the time. When we get down to the campsite

we could not believe that he had sat our tent less than 2 ft from the water...seriously you had to walk sideways to get around the tent! Hubby and I were worried about the little one falling in...so we wouldn't let him take his lifejacket off at all and if you didn't have him in your sight you were always yelling out "Who has Joshua" Needless to say after 3 days of this and a total of 5 kids 10 and under we were ready for our (not) restful weekend to be over. The last night there we had built a fire and were all sitting around it talking and hubby looks at me with wide eyes "Where is Joshua??" I just looked at him very calmly and said "I don't know" He then starts to get a little panicky and also mad at me cause he can tell I'm not worried...he scans around the campsite again..."Where is he

" I said "in your lap!

"

The whole time he had been holding Joshua, but when he was "scanning" the campsite he was looking over his head...and being that he was the youngest of 3 I guess he was used to having someone in his lap?!? That is one of our favorite family story to tell when the boys are reminiscing!

red98vett · 05-12-2006, 04:47 PM

LOLOLOLOLOL ! I can see glasses on your head like my husband but a KID IN YOUR LAP ? that's hilarious ! hahahaha - I BET you tell that story alot - that's really funny

Bonnie's Mom · 05-12-2006, 04:51 PM

Got another one...with Mother's Day on Sunday this is a good time to tell this one!

Years ago when Live with Regis & Kelly was Live with Regis & Kathy Lee they used to replay their Mother's Day special on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Hubby and I were watching it one year and talking about the neat things they were doing for Mom's they had selected to have on the show. Suddenly it dawns on him that it was a "Mother's Day Special" and he looks at me and said "Is today Mother's Day" of course I did what any good wife would do when asked a stupid ? like that and I said "Yes"

He then goes on to say how sorry he was because he hadn't gotten me anything. I tell him that is OK we've been real busy with Thanksgiving and a house full of company...then I ask him, have you called your Mom yet? No..so then he calls her and leaves her a Happy Mother's Day message!

My brother and his family were at our house for Tgiving and I go tell my sil what is going on....by this time we are rolling of the floor laughing

We get all the kids in on it..they are telling us Happy Mother's Day and making homemade cards at the table...when my brother finally feels sorry for him and tells him the truth!! To this day we all say Happy Mother's Day on the Friday after Thanksgiving and when he does forget the real Mother's Day, he says I didn't forget...it is in November!!!

That's a good one!!!! Your family must be related to my family because we would have done the same thing!!!!

DianaB · 05-13-2006, 02:09 PM

My Sister-in-law is one of the funniest people I know! One time we were visiting her and she and I had gone to Wal-mart to shop for awhile. We were in the beauty aid area of the store and she told me that they have alot of people who come in and use whats on the shelf before they go to work. After that she decided that she needed some hand lotion but she wanted it to smell like what she remembered her Grandma used to use. So she went around squeezing all the bottles of hand lotion so she could smell them. Well, she took one bottle and I heard "blurp"!!!!!!! I turned to look at her and she had a BIG blob of hand lotion about to drip off of her nose. I laughed so hard that I thought I'd wet my pants (but I didn't). It still makes me chuckle when I remember it!!!

When she was in high school she was in some kind of play that she and a friend had to do in front of judges. Well, it came to a part where she had to say "I am starting to feel....." and she turned around the letters on a couple of the words and said instead "I am farting to steel...." She and the friend starting laughting and the friend ended up wetting her pants!!! Needless to say I don't think that they were able to continue with the play!!!!

I have alot of stories that I could tell about my husband's family. They are such a funny bunch!!!

Lola LaRue · 05-13-2006, 02:29 PM

I have a friend name Julie who is beautiful. She is not the sharpest tool in the shed. She has a high paying job in computer programming, but when it comes to real life, she just does'nt get most things.
First example, we plan trips every year to get all the girls together from college. One year someone called her and left a message saying we were thinking of going on a cruise to the Grand Cayman Islands. She calls back and says she has always wanted to go on a cruise to the "Grand Canyon" Someone called her back and asked her by what water way were we gonna get there.
Example 2, Julie was having a problem with falling asleep at work. She would just fall asleep while on the computer. Her roommate at the time asked her why she was taking Tylenol PM. She said well I have been having these terrible menstrual cramps. Her roommate told her they were only meant to be taken at night. Well Julie said then "Why are they called Tylenol PRE MENSTRUAL."
There are so many Julie stories. She is now a Mother and it cracks me up just thinking about how confused she must be everyday.

Mydogdiva · 05-13-2006, 08:25 PM

Thank you all of you! I have been laughing so hard I am crying. Diva is staring at my like I am crazy. I know I have some good stories to share but I have get up off the floor and stop laughing in order to think of them!

DianaB · 05-14-2006, 01:49 PM

Oh, come on and share!!!! I just love the Tylenol PM. That's too funny!!!!!

That is funny! She sounds like one of my friends!

Lola LaRue · 06-23-2006, 12:42 PM

I had to revisit this thread to share another "Julie" moment with you guys. I mentioned earlier in this thread that my friend Julie can be the dumbest blond you will ever meet. The latest...
My friend Katie is throwing a suprise birthday party for my friend Heather Saturday night. Katie asked Julie to ask Heather out to dinner so that Heather will come home straight from work. She basically wanted Julie to be a decoy so that Heather will make it to her party. Well Katie called Julie and asked her if she made the plans with Heather. Julie's reply, and I am not lying..."I changed my dinner plans for her for next Saturday." Aw, I love my friend Julie.
