Carry the One, Divide the Whole Sum and Cry Your Everloving Heart Out
April 8, 2007
When a wife decides she needs just a trim to her very long locks, and only needs to take an inch off, she should really consider enlisting the help of someone other than her husband.
While he was an unwilling participant in the shearing of said inch in the first place, she should have listened to her gut instinct that men tend to think 6 inches are 12, and therefore, 1 inch would equal 2.? Or 3.
While it doesn’t look terrible, it isn’t exactly what she had in mind, and said haircut was not made any better by this statement:
“Honey, I got rid of all the frizz!”
*scowl*

Oh, sometimes men need to just not say things.
After Boy 1 was born, I was ‘upset’ that I didn’t fit in my jeans. (Ex)Husband said, “Don’t worry honey, you’re not fat. You’re just wide.”
And that’s when I killed him, your Honor.

I made that same mistake only it was years ago and was just a few months before our wedding. I still married him but we don’t do that anymore. I’ll pay someone else to save our marriage of that.
Pictures are required now.

Oh, I’m sure it’s not that bad! I’m still snickering over “man math”-it looks like six inches, but they call it twelve. BWAHAHAHA!

Just reinforces my suspicion that the reason it took 5 hours to put up 6 pieces of wallboard is that men can’t measure correctly. Always comes out about an inch longer than it really is.

What is it about men and wallboard (I call it drywall). I put up 13 pieces in 4 hours while 7.5 months pregnant. My husband AND his father took 9 hours to put up 8 pieces, and complained about how *hard* the work was. Which was funny, because I had done 5 of 7 corners and all the doorways.
Sorry, had to get that out of my system

Having your husband cut your hair? Wow, what were you thinking? You’re a far braver soul than I, not that I have any locks to cut.

I’m sure you still look wonderful!
However, I’ve chased my husband away when he wanted to save some $ and give me a trim!

OH! LOL. Seeing Prince Charming only knows how to use hair clippers there is no way in HADES I’d let him near my hair!
You are brave. Very very brave!
