Probably the most interesting parts of my life have to do with the conversations I have with people. So, I thought to myself, “Why not share them here on my blog?” This conversation just happened yesterday with my husband. Some of you know him from his adventures on my “10 Things I Learned This Week” posts. For you newbies, it’s worth the read and please tell me I’m not the only one that goes through conversations like this one.
The missing bottle of anti-aging cleanser:
It all started with a text:
Me: Where is my bottle of expensive face cleaner?
Husband: Don’t know?
Me: It was in the shower.
Then he called me:
Husband: What face cleaner?
Me: It was in the shower, small orange bottle. It’s gone.
Husband: The one with the exfoliating stuff in it?
Me: No, that one is there. There was a bottle same size, same color next to it.
Husband: I don’t know what you are talking about.
Me: If you know that I have a bottle that have an exfoliating agent in it obviously you read the bottles. Where is my cleanser?
Husband: I really don’t know maybe the kids used it.
Me: No, they use the white bottle with the Candy Cane scented body wash.
Husband: What Candy Cane scented body wash? Are you talking about the shower sponges because I have no idea which one the kids use.
Me: I’m asking about my face cleanser not sponges! The white bottle is Candy Cane scented. Did you use my cleanser to wash your body? Just tell me and stop talking about sponges!
Husband: I use the soap.
Me: Did you use it on the kids?
Husband: I don’t know.
Me: Well, let’s see. There is Candy Cane body wash and a bar of soap. You said you didn’t know about the Candy Cane body wash. Did you wash the kids with soap?
Husband: I don’t know. I don’t think so. I have to go.
As he hangs up on me I mumble a few choice words because I just don’t get why he’s just not telling me he used it. Fifteen minutes pass and the phone rings:
Husband: I’ll be leaving work at 5. So, How expensive was that cleanser?
Me: I don’t want another bottle of cleanser I just want you to tell me what happened to it.
Husband: Where did you buy it?
Me: I don’t want another bottle. Just tell me what you did with it.
Husband: I think I washed the kids with it. How much did it cost?
Me: I used a $50 Sephora gift card to buy that in a set.
Husband: Crap
Me: You used all of it?
Husband: I guess.
Me: Well, did you or didn’t you? Where is it?
Husband: I’m guessing the garbage can. I should be home by 8.
Now, tell me, Did I really need to type all of that? Couldn’t he have just said, “Oh crap, I thought it was body wash and used it on the kids!” Obviously he must have read the bottles since he knew the same color and size bottle was for exfoliation. Now, I’m back to using a cleanser that I bought at Walgreens.
Wash away baby, wash away.

Oh my goodness! That is hilarious! Although, definitely not at the time! My husband does the same thing. I don’t know why they just can’t confess! Haha 🙂

oh, my word….my husband oes the same thing!!! he recently broke the pump on my face wash in the shower & didn’t tell me!!! I assumed it had been accidentally dropped, but, NOOOOOOO……he couldn’t figure out how to work it, so he broke it in the process!!! (he also tends to throw everything away, so, if i’m missing something, I ask him if he’s thrown it away…)

Hubby laughed when he read this and said, ” I don’t think this happened like this.” LOL!

Only few people can actually do this with their partner.. But I still hope everyone of us can have a great conversation with our loved ones..
