"I'm Going to Stay in the Basement"

This conversation occurred in the car after a particularly stressful family outing.

Jen: I can't wait to get home, I totally need some wine. What a night.

Jeff: Wine?

Jen: What? I can have some wine. I promise that this time I won't drink the whole bottle, get drunk and scream and cry at you about all our issues. I'll keep my emotions in check.

Jeff: *snicker* Don't make promises that you can't keep.

Jen: Thats not fair.

Jeff: Well, you shouldn't make promises that you can't keep.

Jen: Fine. But I can assure you that I am not feeling emotional about anything. Besides, I think that we hashed everything out last week. I'm good.

Jeff. Ok but just to be safe, I think that I am going to stay in the basement until you are sober.

Jen: Seriously?!

Jeff: Yeah. If I get hungry, I will just have some cat food and I'll just sh*t in the box like the cat. But on second thought, I think I will just stay down there until you are feeling sexy. More time to level up my guy.

Jen: *dirty look*

Jeff: But there's not a good place to sit so you think that you will be feeling sexy soon?

Jen: Not a chance.

Oh you guys are hilarious! Jen I can't even picture you drinking the whole bottle, getting drunk and screaming and crying at Jeff about all your issues.

Seriously, you do? Glad it's not just us with issues. We all scrape through though hey?

Rocky likes when I drink wine for the exact same reason!! I do try keep it to just half a bottle though, that's about enough for me to feel sexy ;)

Mental note: when planning trip to MI, be sure to include wine :)

Silly, horny men...

Was the wine delicious? I wish I liked wine. It would probably help take the edge off when I've had a bad day..

Liz Mays said...

He wanted to hide from you? LOL

Heather said...

We are living in a parallel universe, you and I.

My drink of choice is Mike's Hard Lemonade, though.

And we made the cats move outside, so no litter box in the basement anymore.

So, how'd it turn out?

Charlene Juliani said...

LOL!

Mwa said...

Yeah, I wouldn't get to my sexy place either if I knew my man was eating cat food and pooping in the cat box.

Momma@Live. Laugh. Pull your hair out said...

I say we each drink a bottle, send both of our husbands downstairs with the kids for a week or so and we can watch girly movies.

Jenni said...

Looks like he'll be hanging out int he basement for a loooong time...

Sara @ Domestically Challenged said...

That was awesome!! Luckily it has never happened here..

Helene said...

Great answer!!! You know, it's good for him to have a sense of humor but the important thing is for him to know WHEN to use it...LOL!!

Does your husband know my husband? I think I've had a similar conversation before...and, as usual, he blew it. Those husbands...geez... :-)

Lula! said...

Well after all that talk (basement, shadoobing in the cat box, etc.) you're dang straight...NOT A CHANCE IN HELL, Jen.

Don't go feeling sexy for a few nights. Yeah, drink your wine. But keep the sexy in check. That'll show him.

Stereos and Souffles said...

S*** in the box like a cat! Love it!

Unknown said...

That really is quite hysterical!

Casey's trio said...

HA-HA! Hope the wine was good and the sex was better :)

Otter Thomas said...

Ah yes the age old problem of the drinking misses. How do we get the sexy lady without going too far and getting the emotional one.

Crista said...

Hysterical! Totally a conversation we'd have over here!
