Marriage: It's Own Brand of ESP

Tweet

So we had a pretty dramatic weekend, something I'll post about later on. In the meantime I thought you could all use a good laugh. I meant to blog about this last month (when it happened) but completely forgot until Matt reminded me last night.

We had gone out to dinner with Matt's parents for his Dad's birthday. The steakhouse messed up our order, forgot our salads and a bunch of other stuff went wrong. My mother in law insisted on talking to me while my mouth was full. Communication. FAIL.

MIL: Do you want dessert since they messed up the order?

Me: *shook my head no, pointed to MIL's green beans which I really wanted but since I ordered a salad as my side, didn't get. But they forgot my salad, so I wanted green beans.*

MIL: They forgot your green beans?

Me: *shook my head no. Pointed again to green beans and then to myself*

MIL: These were your green beans?

Me: *repeatedly shook my head no and then gave my husband a pleading look to help translate*

MIL: What is she saying?

Matt: She says, "Amy pretty monkey."*

Husband. FAIL.

* PS: This is a lot funnier if you've ever seen Congo.
