The Scene: I am relaxing on the sofa reading a book. I've braided my hair into two braids for the first time in FOREVER, prompting lots of Pippi Longstocking and Heidi comparisons, but I was feeling very cute and adorable. Bob comes home from work.
Me: Hi!
Bob: Hey!
Pause
Bob: (notices my hair) You braided your hair well.
Me: ......Thanks?
O.M.G. now *that* made me laugh! Did Bob attend a clinic on how to badly compliment women that was sponsored by my husband's family?
ReplyDeleteA fine example:
hubby: Kristin, I can tell you've lost a lot of weight. You look really good.
me: Thanks, but I still have this 'butt shelf' thing going on.
hubby: That's okay, it used to be a whole table.
me: WHAT?!
hubby (sheepishly): only a side table . . .
That is HILARIOUS!!!
ReplyDeleteWhatever happened to just the old fashioned hug + kiss x "You look beautiful!" = Perfect Compliment equasion?
I think it's when guys either try to get creative or expand on their intendend compliments that things get out of hand. ^_^
