theherd123 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 My OH has just come and plonked himself on the sofa in our lounge while im busy writing an email. He had his hands cupped and a huge cheeky grin on his face like a naughty school boy demanding me to know what he has just found. At this point i move as far as i can to the end of the sofa and tell him if its a spider we are getting divorced! Thats when the fun started. He opens his hands to reveal a small frog! About the size of a 50 pence. The frog then leaps (pole vault style) from his hands and onto the floor! Just as this happens Teddy (one of the bears) comes in wondering what all the fuss is about. The OH takes his eye off the frog when Ted appears and the frog hops out of sight! The hunt for the frog then ensues! I whisk Teddy into the kitchen to prevent him from eating said frog if he finds it first while the OH proceeds to tip the living room upside down - sofa included! Eventually frog was found and put back outside. Needless to say the air was blue and lounge looks like a war zone. Please tell me are your OHs just as mad as mine and do daft & stupid things like this? If they do it will put my mind at ease knowing im not alone!

Mrs Frugal Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Oh yes, that sounds very familiar! I remember mine showing my eldest how to kick a football - straight through the bathroom window ! He's done a great many other stupid things but I've managed to blank them from my memory, thank goodness ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffie Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Well it actually sounds like one of my 'bright' ideas Emma , bless him for having a bit of fun and perhaps he's worked out it's not such a good idea now No mikey isn't the mad one here I am You need to have a balance in any relationship The bears are dogs I take it, or do you actually have bears (not sure chickens and bears get on) BBx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 When we got our greenhouse (with toughened safety glass) chookiehubbie tried to show the boys just how tough it was by kicking the football at it. Of course, 'toughened' doesn't mean 'unbreakable', so we had our first broken pane within 10 minutes of finishing the build.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Hmmmmm - you should have tried twin-walled polycarbonate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Hmmmmm - you should have tried twin-walled polycarbonate. We have that now, after another couple of panes got broken by someone unknown (probably chookiehubbie again, but he's never owned up to it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Nope, you're a perfect lady Chooks I'm with Buff on this one; I am the mad one and Phil is the calm balanced one. I am sure that he does daft things at his house - but I've not seen any evidence of them at mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theherd123 Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 Oh this is such good therapy, im so glad im not alone! No mikey isn't the mad one here I am You need to have a balance in any relationship The bears are dogs I take it, or do you actually have bears (not sure chickens and bears get on) BBx Im normally the mad one in our house & OH is calm and quite chilled out but bringing frogs into the house at 8 in the morning is not on my list of mad things to do! I also think i need to start worrying big time as we have just had our greenhouse delivered!!! There will be no footballs in our garden when it has been put up! Buffie yes the bears are dogs and no i dont imagine real bears & chickens get on either! Laura & CTB - i just dont uderstand the purse in the microwave thing, in the fridge yes but the microwave????
