Him: "I think I want a truck."
Me: "But, we just bought a car."
Him: "Okaaaay, what if we didn't have to pay for it."
Me: "Weeeelll, what kind of truck would we not have to pay for."
Him: "I don't know..."
Me: *crickets*
Him: "But you're saying that if I didn't have to pay for it, you'd be fine with me getting a truck?"
Me: "Does it involve jail time or prostitution?"
Him: *far too long of a pause* "I don't think so..."
Me: *shrugs* "Fair enough."
The next day, he brought home the crappiest old brown truck I've ever seen. I immediately dubbed it "Herpes" and told him I'd prefer he be sanitized before touching me or the children.
Me: "So, how did you get it?"
Him: "I traded for it."
Me: "Traded what?"
Him: "A gun."
Sidenote: I'm not a gun fan. And yes, I know this means I'll be the first to die in the coming Zombie Apocalypse...I'm okay with that.
Me: *jaw drops* "Seriously? Someone traded you a truck for a gun?"
Him: *Looking rather proud* "Yep."
Me: "So someone agreed to let you come to their house with a gun, and take away their truck? Isn't that called Grand Theft Auto?"
Him: "Not when you leave the gun behind."
Me: "Alrighty then."
So, this got me curious...what would you trade your hypothetical crappy old truck for? Have a great weekend!
I did in fact trade my crappy old truck for a used dirt bike withn I was 18.
ReplyDeleteToo funny, too funny, too funny!! You're husband is awesome!
ReplyDeleteahem *your*
ReplyDeleteHa ha that sounds like something my husband would do. Like when one of our friends was selling his generator and his chainsaw before a move, my husband wanted to buy both, and I'm like, "We do NOT need a chainsaw."
ReplyDeleteWhen he came home with both, he explained that his friend gave him a deal, $200 to take both off his hands, he said he had to take it! So now we have a chainsaw. :P
Haha, awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'd trade my hypothetical crappy old truck for magic beans... or maybe a box chocolate. A magical box of chocolate?
LOL love the part about Grand Theft Auto! And I'd trade in my old truck for a new laptop...but I think I am getting that for graduation (this weekend!). :-)
