for being a bit peeved when my husband put a cereal box over my head?

Picture the scene.
Deaddei happily eating her breakfast this morning. Dh has the last of the weetabix and gets up to put the empty (large box of 48) in the recycling.
Then from behind me, shoves the box over my head.
Now it was a hell of a shock for a start, but he miscalculated the fact that my nose does stick out further than the rest of my face, and I now have a mark on the bridge of my nose.
Dh nearly wet himself.

YANBU to be peeved but it did make me laugh too!! Sorry about your nose though.

DanZZZenAroundTheTreeAgain · 04/12/2010 09:13

DanZZZenAroundTheTreeAgain · 04/12/2010 09:14

Yes I can see the funny side. But then my nose began throbbing.
However I am going away to a spa tomorrow for 4 days, leaving him with the dcs. I may pay ds to do the same to him on Wednesday morning, when he's feeling really fraught.
And it won't be a big 48-er.

Just remember revenge is a dish best served cold!

lol!

Gently would be okay (unless you were claustrophobic or similar), enough force to hurt you isn't - even if it were accidental - adults (especially in front of children) should show restraint.

Jokey and passive aggressive at the same time I think. He might be after a rise out of you before you go on your mini break - don't give him one otherwise it could put a dampner on your enjoyment.

CrazyChristmasLady · 04/12/2010 09:59

Sorry but I did laugh. Also, is he really that big a kid? Xmas Smile Sounds like something a young child would do (although the men I know are generally children trapped in an adults body, don't know if its just my family or men in general).

Yes he has a boyish streak At 51. Smile
I am proud that I did not rise to it with a hissy swearing fit.

I've read this thread three times now and I still can't stop laughing. Sorry OP.

AnyoneforTurps · 04/12/2010 13:21

passive aggressive? Oh come on. Childish maybe but that's husbands for you.

Sign of a healthy marriage I'd say Grin.

Just to add.....I have come back from my wonderful relaxing break to find the dcs moaning how daddy "lost" it while I was away- glad to see I'm indispensible Wink

Sorry OP but I LOLed at that enough to wake my DD up! Hope you had a nice break. :)

ASecretLemonadeDrinker · 09/12/2010 09:16

PMSL, came on here to see if someone has trotted out "passive aggressive" Grin Sounds like a twatty thing I DH would do.

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 09/12/2010 09:16

Lol, that is funny. Grin

BeenBeta · 09/12/2010 09:19

deaddei - am just thinking of the size of a 48 sized Weetabix box and.... well I just had to ask. Have you got an exceptionally long nose?

Fortheverylasttime · 09/12/2010 09:41

The op is either a troll or has had her head shrunk. I have just tried utting a 48er on my own head, and it won't go on sideways or frontways.

30andMerkin · 09/12/2010 09:45

You just tried putting a Weetabix box on your own head?!

Now that DID make me laugh!

ChickensHaveNoMercyForTurkeys · 09/12/2010 09:47

Arf! I'd find that funny. In fact, I might do it to DH later

Fortheverylasttime · 09/12/2010 09:50

Don't criticise the op until you have walked a mile with a weetabix box on your own head.

piprabbit · 09/12/2010 09:54

Forth, so pleased to see you are continuing MNs noble record of selfless scientific experimentation... reminds me of the thread where the MNer had swallowed a lego piece to see how fast it went through IYSWIM.

Fortheverylasttime · 09/12/2010 09:56

A guy at college with me took the morning after pill in the interests of research.

piprabbit · 09/12/2010 09:57

What did he think might happen?

OhYouSnowySnowyKitten · 09/12/2010 10:00

men do really odd stuff sometimes.
