Work It, Dad!
with Avi Spivack
Hi, I'm Avi, and I try to put the work and the dad together, with mild success. This is all about trying to give you a view from what it looks like on the dad-man's side of the world, and I hope you find my ruminations humorous because I try not to take myself too seriously.

Exchange in our kitchen this morning.
My lovely wife: “It’s funny, maybe you guys are all the same…my (guy) friend says something to me and then like 20 minutes later he’s like - man, I wish I had never said that.”
Me: “Um, yeah, of course.”
Brilliant comeback, huh?
I mean, should I lie? I find myself saying many boneheaded utterances during the course of a day, the week, any given month…things I certainly wish I could take back.
So, do us members of the less-advanced gender really say more stupid, regrettable, and inane things than the women of the world?
I believe that is probably true.
But please, enlighten me, humor all of these readers: what is the single dumbest thing your hubby (or any other man for that matter) has said to you (or just in or near your presence)? C’mon, make me laugh.

You know, either my husband says so many dumb things I can’t even think of them…or he doesn’t and that’s why none pop to mind.
I, on the other hand, say stupid things at least eleventy billion times a day. Sorry, Avi, but women are just as good at this one too.
Maybe guys are just too dumb to pick up on it? >: )

I think one of my favorites will always be when my spouse told me that putting nails in the wall would damage the wall. Sure, honey that would be true it I put in a million nails, but one to hange the picture ain’t gonna make the wall fall down.

Ooh, I like that one with the nails (and I think I have probably used it, too!)

I have a few I have heard men around me say…
“Giving birth can’t hurt that bad, women have been doing it for thousands of years so they should do it “natural”, no drugs… isn’t that better for the baby?”
“What do you mean, we will loose sleep when baby is born? Don’t they sleep a lot?”
“How could a stay-at-home mother really be that busy, I mean, she is home all day” (that one makes me “ugh!!”)
“I don’t see why we need to live close to the city, schools, grocery stores… Can’t we live out in the mountains even when you are pregnant? It only takes 1 hour to the hospital.”
Okay - I’m going to stop there because to tell you the truth, I am tired of watching pop culture and the media make an idiot of men… Everyone says dumb things sometimes, and women need twice as many words to say them…hehe (the length of my post can attest to this ;-).

It’s true, my guy says/does a lot of funny and stupid things, for exemple:
me: Baby, do you love me?
him: You know i love myself.
me: Baby, I think i gained weight with all that stress at school.
him: No, you just have meat!
One night at my house:
him: Honey, you have some great juice in your fridge.
me thinking that we didnt have any at that time: What juice, we don’t have any.
him: The prune juice, where do you buy it?
I left everything and ran to see how much he drank( 1/2 bottle in one day) !
me: Baby, prune juice acts like laxatif, you should better cancel your work for tomorrow.
next day, him: Honey, stop this, it’s my 10th time going to the washroom.
him bloated after spicy food: I have cancer!
