Funny/Embarrassing things they say

[orthodoc]

Okay - I admit, on rereading, that feeble attempt at levity backfires. 'The best' is whatever makes you happy within a relationship. Or without a relationship.

[footfootfoot]

I dunno. I kind of pictured you in an mini skirt apron and a pizza chef's hat on a pizza box that read, "You've tried all the rest, now try the best."

[orthodoc]

Nice. Presumably I am wearing more than just the apron and chef's hat.

But to take Big V's reasoning to its logical conclusion, none of us can ever know what 'the best' is. Derailed by philosophy again!

BigV is a fun sponge.

What, no stockings? In that case the pizza wouldn't be all-dressed.

Maybe he's just saying he never met a pizza that he sent back to the kitchen.

Minifobette has control issues and is very, very contrary. So we drive by a shopping center the other day...

Minifob: Hey look, a Home Depot.
Minifobette: No, it's a Lowe's.

(It is clearly a Home Depot. They begin arguing back and forth, Minifob getting increasingly angry, Minifobette just calmly sticking to her story.)

Me: Sweetheart, remember, sometimes you just have to let other people be wrong. Just say to her, "I know the truth, and your words don't bother me." (This has been very effective at shutting her up when it comes from us.)

Minifob: I can't say that because it does bother me!

Me: Well, you're not going to convince her, so you need to just talk about something else.

Minifob: No, because Mr. [Tae Kwon Do teacher] says never give up. I'm not a quitter!!

...And they fight for the rest of the way home. This is going to get so much better as they get older, I can just tell.

D'oh! I forgot the stockings, my favorite part. OK. I'll go out and come back in again.

Oh, that's gonna get tiring. But I think minifob will have fun. Reminds me of a story UT told years ago about turning the car around to prove his friend wrong about something they had seen, and the guy was denying. Is minifobette in distress as she argues that the sky isn't blue, or is she having a good time too?

[Clodfobble]

Oh no, Minifobette is having a nice old time. Minifob is the one who is in distress. And Minifobette knows exactly what she's doing, she thinks it's hysterical to get him riled up.

Same at my house. The millimeter knows 100 ways to get inch's knickers in a twist and really enjoys it.

Hopefully, yours wasn't a long ride home.

For FSM's sake, do not let them hear of the 0.999r = 1 debate.

Posts like this make me think I should have a Fobble House Hall of Fame. I love stories like this; Clodfobble, thank you from the bottom of my heart for letting us be a fly on the wall for moments like this.

I love pizza. I've had triangle pizza and square pizza and random pizza; homemade and retail pizza. Hot pizza, cold pizza, reheated pizza. I've had pizza in bed, in the car, in the woods, and in public. Pizza in every room of the house, pizza alone, with one, with two, with women and with other men. I've had pizza while my children had pizza, but we never shared, because, ew. Pizza with sauce, extra sauce, cheese, extra cheese, meat, bow-chicka-bow-wow, pizza with vegetables. I tried pizza with fruit, but I didn't inhale. Sweet pizza, savory pizza, fish and poultry (the whole chicken, not the chicken's hole, for those of you keeping score). White sauce, red sauce, sweet/tangy/smoky barbeque sauce, balsamic glazes, chinese mazes, and bacon mayonnaises.

Which one is the best? It's always the next one that breaks the record.

When it comes to pizza, one's too many and ten's not enough.
