A conversation in which my husband earns -500 points and I wield the mighty power of blogging

The scene: 10:30 p.m. in our car

OneShoeOff: Man, today’s been BUSY. I haven’t had a chance to shower since yesterday morning. I’m feeling a little…greasy.

The Husband: Well, you’d better watch out, or that might become your new nickname.

OneShoeOff (raises single eyebrow):…Really. Let me just jot this down so that I can remember to blog about how wonderful and KIND my husband is.

The Husband: WAIT! HEY! I didn’t mean MY nickname for you! Are you really going to post that?!

OneShoeOff: Oh, ho ho! (Who SAYS this kind of crap except me?) First lesson of being married to a blogger who has just been to BlogHer is that EVERYTHING YOU SAY is food for my blog. And I will in all likelihood re-write it to make it more entertaining for my readers as per The Bloggess’s advise! (I didn’t do that here, this conversation is recorded is exactly as it happened, I SWEAR.)

The Husband: *sigh* (He does that a lot. You don’t think it has something to do with me, do you?)

    It’s like they never learn, right?

      He’s being very careful for the moment, but I guarantee he’ll forget.

      By the way, I’m terribly flattered that you dropped by. I was at the humor panel (which, of course, I haven’t gotten around to writing about here), and thought all of the panelists were lovely!

    It took me a while to figure out how Ryan earned 500 points, but then I re-parsed the header. The line-break happened to fall like this:

    A conversation in which my husband earns -
    500 points and I wield the mighty power of
    blogging

    So it read like, “Hubby earns, I blog”
