Rhetorical

Theoretically speaking, if JB said to me the other day, “Something smells funny in here . . . or actually, I guess it’s just you” then totally denied that there was anything rude about that statement (”What? You smell like whatever you’re cooking! What?”), would that make it okay for me to send him an instant message yesterday that read:

>OMG THE DR SAW 2 HEARTBEATS DURING THE ULTRASOUND

. . . or would that have been rude?

    awesome. totally awesome.

  2. JennB on July 10th, 2007 1:28 pm

    I think that would have been just fine to send him. In fact, you shoudl send it!

  3. Janet Powell on July 10th, 2007 1:29 pm

    No, not rude. Fiendishly deserving would be an IM like:

    ” We’ll need 3 names”

    I don’t see anything wrong with sending him that.

  5. Erica on July 10th, 2007 1:29 pm

    He totally had it coming.

  6. Ulli on July 10th, 2007 1:30 pm

    ROFL

  7. Lori on July 10th, 2007 1:30 pm

    I think it’s brilliant.

  8. omu on July 10th, 2007 1:30 pm

    Well, technically he or she probably did hear two heartbeats – so you weren’t lying. Your and the baby’s. That’s two. It’s just how you chose to spin that information that JB might mind… and he deserved it.

  9. hello insomnia on July 10th, 2007 1:32 pm

    I say send it.

  10. Josh on July 10th, 2007 1:32 pm

    No that would have been the funniest GD thing I ever heard. You should try and film his face when he recieves the message. Maybe get an accomplice or something. Of course, now he knows, so you have to think of something new, but I am all for practical jokery and revenge. And you’ve got nine minus however many months you said before (sorry, I wasn’t paying attention) to come up with something really sweet to freak him out with.

    However in his defense, some food does leave a funk about the person cooking. Garlic for example. Also popcorn. He sort of has a point. I mean, did you smell funny? I’m just saying, maybe you did. It happens.

  11. Pete on July 10th, 2007 1:32 pm

    I love it! Of course I didn’t see his remark as rude. It’s something I would say. ;-) Or I would have before I was trained.

  12. Carrie on July 10th, 2007 1:35 pm

    Heh. Pregnancy sure hasn’t taken away your sense of humor. Fabulous!

  13. nonsoccermom on July 10th, 2007 1:35 pm

    HAAA. That is awesome!!

  14. angela on July 10th, 2007 1:36 pm

    HEEEEEE!

  15. Frema on July 10th, 2007 1:37 pm

    Oh, I had to smile at this one. My husband is attending my 18-week ultrasound with me (tomorrow morning! Gack!), so I can’t use that line on him, but the look on his face would be priceless.

  16. stephanie brown on July 10th, 2007 1:45 pm

    yea, how’d that go? lol

  17. tess on July 10th, 2007 1:53 pm

    Hey, he messes with the bull, he gets the horns!

  18. Melissa on July 10th, 2007 1:56 pm

    LOL!! All is fair in love and war. He started it.
    :)

  19. Danell on July 10th, 2007 2:03 pm

    carrie, if you didn’t read sundry during her last pregnancy…well, you’re in for a treat. welcome to nine months of sheer comedic genius. i mean, like pee in your pants daily hilarity.

  20. Jennie on July 10th, 2007 2:07 pm

    Not so much okay, but more the funniest thing I’ve ever heard. And may I steal this brilliance when/if I get pregnant?

  21. Quiana on July 10th, 2007 2:38 pm

    Please do!
    That level of evil genius should not be bottled up for too long.

  22. Li'l Foot's Mommy on July 10th, 2007 2:41 pm

    totally acceptable!!! and downright necessary!!! be careful tho, they have ways of reciprocating…when we were in the obgyn office for one or the other of my prenatal visits my hubbie decided to grab the light wand thing attached to the wall and start ordering a big mac with large fries, coke and a mcflurry (embarrassing in front of your doctor…yes!!!)

  23. robin on July 10th, 2007 2:47 pm

    2 heartbeats?!? Holy shit!! Are you freaking out???

  24. Marie Green on July 10th, 2007 2:47 pm

    Here’s what I have to say about that: I called my parents and told them I was pregnant with twin on April Fools Day. Then, about 2 years later I WAS pregnant with twins. So I’ve learned: Don’t fuck with the twin jokes. (But since you already did, I LOVE jokes like that. Crack me up.)

  25. robin on July 10th, 2007 2:49 pm

    uhmm..wait..did they really hear 2 or are you just messing with him? I’m excited and confused over here!!

  26. andrea on July 10th, 2007 2:53 pm

    That would have been totally awesome! Although I’d be a little scared of the karma on that one myself.

  27. mcgee on July 10th, 2007 2:58 pm

    hahaha….

  28. warcrygirl on July 10th, 2007 3:04 pm

    SEND IT!

  29. Anne L. on July 10th, 2007 3:13 pm

    You ROCK! DO IT!

  30. biscuit on July 10th, 2007 3:35 pm

    When my husband throws a hissy or gets sassy, I hide his Xbox controllers.

  31. Emma on July 10th, 2007 3:46 pm

    Send it.

    Then blame it on the hormones… or, y’know, him being a git ;)

  32. Liz in Australia on July 10th, 2007 4:11 pm

    *snickers*

  33. Melanie on July 10th, 2007 4:27 pm

    Definitely not rude. He deserves it.

  34. Lesley on July 10th, 2007 5:00 pm

    I would have gone with four heartbeats.

  35. Cari on July 10th, 2007 5:06 pm

    By the “yesterday” in that last sentence I understand that you already sent this to him? Too funny. I say until men carry babies themselves or learn to navigate the emotional waters that are a pregnant woman, they deserve whatever they get.
    I’d love to hear what his response was to that. Love.
    Also, biscuit: HA HA!!

  36. Alex on July 10th, 2007 5:11 pm

    Heh. I love you. I do.

  37. Heather on July 10th, 2007 5:28 pm

    heh. awesome.

  38. HollowSquirrel on July 10th, 2007 6:10 pm

    I think it’s a necessity.

  39. oregoncoastgirl on July 10th, 2007 6:14 pm

    excellent. excellent.

  40. Hulda on July 10th, 2007 7:04 pm

    Har har! Just too funny!

  41. Heather-in-Australia on July 10th, 2007 8:22 pm

    Moohahahaaaaaaa!!! Send it for sure!

  42. thejunebug on July 11th, 2007 1:55 am

    Wait! Are you having twins??? Or are you messing with JB (and, by extension, me- since I am gullible like that)?

    And JB deserves to have all his porn burned for that statement. Now that’d be “rude”.

  43. Eric's Mommy on July 11th, 2007 5:14 am

    SEND IT!!!!!

  44. Jessie on July 11th, 2007 6:10 am

    It would have been awesome. I just wrote the other day that one of the joys in my life is picking on my husband. He does it right back, which is good, because otherwise I might feel bad about making him squirm so much. Might.

  45. Cavu on July 11th, 2007 6:24 am

    Nothing wrong with being a little rude now and again. That’s hilarious.

  46. Kaire on July 11th, 2007 7:05 am

    Personally I would have said 3 heart beats or just sent a cryptic “I think the addition to the house needs to be a little bit BIGGER …” note.

  47. Dawn on July 11th, 2007 7:47 am

    He completely deserved that. What was his reaction, i must know.

  48. Alyson on July 11th, 2007 8:06 am

    You’re Evil! (heh-heh, my kinda girl!)

    I used to tell hubby I was PG by having a bunch of pink and blue balloons delivered to his office. Last time it was totally hilarious……..#3 was a little boo-boo!

  49. Karen on July 11th, 2007 8:44 am

    I think that’s totally fine. It would have been rude to say three or four heartbeats though.

  50. Pickles & Dimes on July 11th, 2007 12:01 pm

    Awesome.

  51. fellowmom on July 12th, 2007 9:29 am

    My husband was in the room when the doctor saw the two heartbeats. When we were walking out, I finally noticed that he looked like he was having a stroke. I asked if he was happy about having twins, and he said, “oh yeah. I was just afraid he was going to find a third.” *shudder* That still cracks me up.

  52. Telegirl on July 12th, 2007 12:34 pm

    I would have been totally offended because when I was pregnant I had this freakishly heightened sense of smell and thought I was always smelling funny anyway (husband *swears* I was fine). Having someone say something to me would have sent me over the edge! So, I say “Bring it!”

  53. Amber on July 12th, 2007 9:59 pm

    You are so evil, and oh so clever. And yes, he completely and totally deserved it.

  54. Kristi on July 12th, 2007 11:35 pm

    lol I’m a bit behind on this post due to out-of-towness, but just wanted to pipe up and say that I did do that to my husband w/2nd pg! He wasn’t that amused but the look on his face is something I’ll always treasure in my mind.
