MEN......PERIOD.

MEN. PERIOD.

One day last week, on an early Friday night I was at home when my husband and son came back from being out all afternoon, and among their items they brought back was this one single huge donut. Wow I thought! Then I said, I can’t remember the last time I had a donut, so after I made the comment I said, “I’m going to a party at the church in an hour and I don’t want to spoil my appetite”. Well, my husband said, “Just take a few bites.” So I did.

Well the next day we were having company from my husband’s work, I was to serve dinner and I had worked very hard cleaning the house. I wanted things to be perfect. Early in the week I had asked my husband to do some things to help me which I mentioned several times during the week, as these things were just not happening. You know how we women are and I don’t like things done at the last minute because it usually means at the last minute you get to do it.

So here we are standing in the kitchen, I had taken a couple of nibbles of this donut and I think my son had gone to another part of the house ( thank you Jesus), and I again said something to my hubbie about the last few chores that needed to get done. Well, all of a sudden my husband proceeds to count to me exactly HOW MANY TIMES I have given him reminders that week!!!

Okay, now you have to understand, I am not a person of extreme acts of violence, it was not premeditated or thought about, but all of a sudden I just threw that big donut right at my husband and it hit him square in the middle of the forehead!

My husband was stunned and proceeded to leave the room, and as he left I said, “Where are you going?” Now get this! He replies, “I’m going to the bedroom to see if I can find some ointment. Okay, I had to take a pause for a moment. In my mind I thought, “Ointment? I hit the man with a donut not a wrecking ball!!!”

So in my dear, sweet and loving wife tone I said “Honey?....do you want me to take you to the emergency room to see if you need stitches?”

Well, that ended that. End of story. MEN.....PERIOD!

Please note: We now call this the "Donut Incident." As a warning I do not recommend throwing objects like donuts for example at our loved ones as there can be fatal results like, glazing, extreme stickiness, total shock, and most of all....the loss of pride. The Bible says "if not done in love, it is nothing.
