Scene from Life with Alpha Hubby

So the other day I was minding my own business, folding towels and assorted things.  Suddenly I found a shirt that was stuck to one of the towels and pulled it off.

I thought it was Alpha Hubby’s gym shirt.  I then realized it was my shirt and it was a shirt that wasn’t supposed to go through the dryer.

“Well, crud,” I mumble.

“What?” asked AH from the other room.

“I just found a shirt that wasn’t supposed to go through the dryer,” I reply.

“Well, what is it doing in the dryer then,” he asks, starting the male trek toward Alpha death.

“I must not have seen it when I put the clothes in the washer,” I reply.

“Well, if you had been more careful, it wouldn’t be in the dryer,” he tosses out, edging closer to Alphha death with each word.

I’m thinking, “What is the matter with this guy that he doesn’t value his life?”

He smirkingly continues, “I’m only trying to help.”

“I don’t need your help here.  There is no fixing this.  The shirt is shrunk,” I said, stating the obvious.

“Bet you’ll be more careful next time, huh,” he says, laughing as he saunters down the hallway toward the bedroom.

*cricket cricket*

“You know,” I shout, “you’ll have to fall asleep sometime.”

*Snicker snicker*   “Yea right, babe, shaking in my boots here.”

“Grrrrrrrrr,”  a typical ending to most conversations a woman has married to an Alpha Male.

  1. Nan, I love alpha hubby’s laid back response to this situation but I’m more impressed with yours! If it had been me, I would have freaked! But that’s probably cause I don’t have many clothes! Dryers can be our enemies sometimes, can’t they? 🙂 I’m sorry about your shirt, lady!

  3. Why men don’t understand that when we say stuff like that, we really just want to be comforted in our frustration and disappointment! They always think we want them to find a solution when really, we just want a hug! Sniff! just a stinkin’ hug!

  5. I love a day in the life, I can picture the two of you. Since both of us are usually in a hurry and would be prone to this error, we don’t have this convo at our house. People in glass houses and all. But do I think it when Eric does something like this? Why, yes, yes I do! 🙂

  7. Oh, you make me laugh! “What’s the matter with this guy that he doesn’t value his life?” So funny!

    I loved this glimpse into your everyday, but…I am sorry about the shirt. Stupid laundry.

  9. Yep, I agree. I would drag him (hopefully kicking and screaming) to go shopping. And drag it out for as long as possible, include lunch somewhere that ISN’T a favorite of his. Oh, and make one more stop on the way home. Tell him that you need to get a fresh tube of super glue. When he asks what for? Reply…” Oh, you know honey….for when you fall asleep”.

    Man you wouldn’t believe how many times a week THESE conversations take place between JC and myself…
    They usually end with me in a huff, him stating “Well if you’re feelin’ froggy woman, then jump!”

    And a kiss that makes me forget-huh?- what was I huffy about 😉

    Have a lovely weekend!

  17. Not the pink socks! Oh, one time my poor hubby came home from the gym (back in the day when we actually went to the gym) and said his t shirt was pink! Just a light shade mind you. Me…..are you mad? Him….no, disappointed I guess”…..Me……DISAPPOINTED????? that would be if I was flirting with another guy or something!

    So now when he does anything I say, oh, I’m so disappointed! 🙂

    They do like to walk on the edge don’t they?

    1. Very funny! I can see you smirking! Let’s just say I got even, accidently, with the pink socks in a later washing.
