Worried sick, my wife bought me a pinny

Today my wife bought me a PINNY with a monster pocket on the front.

OK, I know my gender has lost the battle, but does it have to be rubbed in? I wonder if Miss Logan knows?

Greer has done this to me and I am a fan.

If that's the worst of your troubles Gabby, old son, then think yourself lucky. Rubber gloves, top drawer... make yourself useful.

That pesky Germaine. She gets everywhere.

I rather fancy my DH when he's wearing my pinny and making bread, it's the way he kneads the dough. He thinks I'm joking when I say I want him naked (apart from the pinny). Grin

saywhatmuthafucka · 07/10/2010 14:13

Maybe she wants you to wear JUST the pinnyWink

caramelwaffle · 07/10/2010 14:13

Oooooo I require a cleaner.. £9ph do you?

madsadlibrarian · 07/10/2010 14:14

or maybe she was confused because u have a girl's name? (gabby logan)

Why not buy her something nice in return ... like some power tools? Grin

emmyloulou · 07/10/2010 16:08

It's a slippery slope my DH was bought a pinny by his dad a couple of years ago.

He now treats himself to cook books, he practically skipped through the door the other day as he managed to bag Nigella's new book Confused

Hedgeblunder · 07/10/2010 16:12

Hahaha yes buy her a nice toolbox in return

KurriKurri · 07/10/2010 16:29

Was it like this? Or more butch like this?

TheAtomicBum · 07/10/2010 17:14

Perhaps it was meant for the manley art of barbecue cooking? You know, in the sale now that the sun has gone back into hybernation?

olderandwider · 07/10/2010 17:26

Relax. It's only for BBQs.

AbsofCroissant · 07/10/2010 17:28

For some reason I thought you were a woman.

Well, now you have your pinnie - get into the kitchen and make me some scones!

I quite like a man in a pinny. I'd like him even better mopping the floor though.

JenaiMarrHePlaysGuitar · 07/10/2010 17:39

I bought my dp a pinny with a big cock on the front.

It suits him Grin

GabbyLoggon · 08/10/2010 11:03

Oh so some of the thought I was a woman,eh. I will rise above the pinny problem.
But only about 2 inches above.

My DP already had a pinny when I met him! He wears it when he's baking Grin Its plain black though so doesn't look too girly Hmm

mountainmonkey · 08/10/2010 11:07

And yes Malificence there is something rather sexy about a man in a pinny kneading dough!

Tea all over keyboard Grin

My BiL wears a pinny and makes an airier scone than any woman ever could. Also makes his own jam. He's one step away from joining the W.I.

kreecherlivesupstairs · 08/10/2010 11:17

My DH seldom cooks, when he does he wears a pinny. He always washes up and wears yellow marigolds.
He did seem oddly embarrassed by them when his friend was here and, boldly IMO, did the dishes bare handed.

nocake · 08/10/2010 11:19

I own two pinnys and several cook books. I cook better than my DW and I make jam, preserves and chutneys.

But I can also strip down a Ford Crossflow engine, plumb a radiator, rewire a room and fix a washing machine.

Don't consider it a slippery slope, Gabby. Just start cooking and prove that you can do it better than she can Grin

caramelwaffle · 08/10/2010 19:16

Yes - take nocake's advice: get cooking. Lots. You are Good At Cooking

Ahhh, so this is what I need to do to get my hubby in the kitchen. Now why didn't I think of that. Thank you OP.
