Several years ago, one of my husband's favorite shows was Everybody Loves Raymond. At that time, we used to watch reruns of it almost every day. One of our all-time favorite episodes of the show is one titled The Suitcase/Baggage.
The premise of The Suitcase/Baggage episode is about a suitcase at the bottom of the stairs that neither Ray nor Debra want to move, and, like most things involving Ray on Everybody Loves Raymond, hilarity follows.
Anyway...it doesn't sound as funny when I describe it. So, here, watch this clip on YouTube:
Last week, we had a similar situation in our home. You see, the weather lately has been cold-rainy-warm and sunny-rainy-warm-cold-sunny (pretty much in that order). During one of the warm spells, we turned off the heater.
A few days later, it got cold again, and my husband pulled a blanket out of the closet to use on his side of the bed. The very next day it turned warm again, and the blanket later found its way to the hall floor...abandoned in a rumpled mess. And there it remained for 1-2 weeks. (To be clear, in our home, we share the cleaning duties and other household chores, so this has nothing to do with gender roles or my husband thinking I should pick it up.)
Even though the blanket was right in the middle of the hall walkway, both of us pretty much forgot about it. I myself passed by it several times without giving it a second thought.
A few days ago, I was doing the laundry and noticed the blanket still lying there outside the laundry room door. So...I put the blanket away in the hall closet.
So shauhar (husband), I know you're reading this, and I warned you I'd be writing about it. So just so there's no confusion about what this means...it means: I'll be the one...who put it away. :)
Have any of you ever been in a stalemate with your spouse that ended in a funny way, and if so, what happened?

haha :) my dad is also obsessed with this show....
ReplyDeleteI'm sure when I get married in the future, many of these instances shall arise! :)
Ray's character has a real knack for getting himself into trouble with his wife -- that's for sure!

Blanket, suitcase...either or, as long as someone else gets it, I'm not going to get it! :) I never saw that episode of Everybody Loves Raymond, and now I'm going to have to track that one down. Hilarity always ensues on that show, and my stomach ends up hurting after each episode from laughing wayyyyy too hard!! :)
ReplyDeleteSalam,
ReplyDeleteThis is soo cute!! Hubby and me have had a few of those... We actually got into a tug or war (literally) to be the one to say " I did it so there" and of course he won.. :)
We had a still have a good laugh. I had him read your blog and without me mentioning our little "war" he started laughing and saying "remember when" good memories...
Salam,
Liza
