To make DH explain what happened to DD's picture?

Just before the chrismas holidays, DD drew a christmas scene at school and stuck cotton wool etc to it.

I stuck it to the kitchen cupboard.

Last night, I asked DH to make me a cup of tea. Admittidly I could have done it myself and I fully admit I was being a bit lazy. However he did it and then shouted of me to go and get it. I went into the kitchen just as he slung the teabag at the kitchen cupboard and shouted "ave it!"

The teabag hit DD's picture and exploded on impact leaving tea splattered all over the cupboard, the ceiling, the wall and the burglar alarm. Worst bit was though that DD's picture is totally ruined.

DH took the pic down before she saw it and I said he should admit what he's done to her. He said there is no need to upset her and it was all my fault anyway for being lazy.

Yes I was being lazy, but should he admit what he's done?

how the f is asking him to make you a cuppa lazy ?
If he's so put out that he starts hurling things around i'd say the picture was the least of your worries

I've now laughed so much reading through this thread I think I need to ask DH to get me another beer as I'm concentrating on not wetting myself.

it's all quiet bonkers

Oh I do love a full moon ...

Buy loose tea and a teapot. Ditch the teabags. See if he throws the teapot around. Ask him to make you a cuppa and enjoy him fannying around brewing it. Oh, and tell dd that santa loved her painting so much he took it to show the elves. Love a full moon too. You should see the loonies round our way off to NY parties. I was run over by a herd of bright blue smurfs

your dh sounds like colin hunt off of the fast show...

MumNWLondon · 31/12/2009 21:50

FFS its a kids picture from school.

I don't see what the issue is, christmas has passed, going back to school on monday its been on the wall for over a week.

If she brings it up just say that some food went on it by mistake, and you are looking forward to the next one.

Amapoleon · 31/12/2009 21:56

Hahaha, thank you, this thread has really cheered me up.

scottishmummy · 31/12/2009 23:36

whifflegarden · 01/01/2010 10:32

well, I'm not laughing and I'm sure the OP isn't either.

BigBadMummy · 01/01/2010 11:01

fabulous.

And I love Chickenshavenotinsel's comment about living with a teabagger.... that made me laugh more than any of the rest of it.

Kaloki · 01/01/2010 11:04

bigbadmummy Please tell me you are laughing for the same reason as I am! Otherwise I'm apparently the only one with a dirty mind

Agree with everything MP said on this thread.

The part that stood out for me, was the 'yes i know i was lazy' why? just because you wanted him to make you tea.

All the 'ave it jokes have made me PMSL though.

Have you never heard the phrase
"Why have a dog and bark yourself?"

Rindercella · 01/01/2010 11:39

Oh Lord, I just had to google teabagging...I am so naive. I will be 40 this year - how did I get here without knowing what teabagging was? Or BDSM for that matter.

whifflegarden · 01/01/2010 11:40

Kaloki please enlighten us

Kaloki · 01/01/2010 11:41

Haha, google can do that!

whifflegarden · 01/01/2010 11:43

Aarrggghhhh. Cover my eyes! Cover my eyes!!!!!!! Is that what it's called???? I've lived a sheltered life

whifflegarden · 01/01/2010 11:44

ScreaminEagle I never realised that! That's so brilliant!

BigBadMummy · 01/01/2010 16:33

kaloki you KNOW we are on the same wavelength.

I worked with a gay guy for five years and he enlightened me to all sorts of terms and expressions.

I know far too many.

Apparently docking is not something that is just done by the vet.

FimBOW · 01/01/2010 16:46

I threw a bag of M & S croissants at dh once, in the street, he was winding me up, so I threw the bag at him and stalked off.

Rindercella · 01/01/2010 16:55

just googled docking. Why oh why did the gay guy I worked with for years not share these things with me?!

God alone knows what DH would think if he was ever minded to have a look at my IE history!
