Chris: “Are you wearing those Spanx things tonight? Because you look really skinny.”
Anne: “Can I blog that? Please?!”
Chris: “No.”

Hilarious!
There are too many times when I’ve thrown out comments like to this to the wife.
It sounds different in my head before I say it..
Tom?s last blog ..Taking Responsibility For Your Life ? This Is No Time To Pray
I took it as a compliment! Anytime you hear “skinny” it’s a good thing! :)
Oh, word.
I just meant I’ve said things where it’s like “you look skinny now..”
Either way, I proved my point. I’m not a wordsmith ;)
Ah yes. Where to place the emphasis?

One time on the subway a girl called me a “skinny b!%c#” and I thanked her. No, really, I did. She made my day.
Bianca Juarez?s last blog ..retreat…
I get called that all the time…just kidding I am 20 pounds over weight
Well said Tom. It totally sounded different in my head…
Exactly. It’s a husband-thing, I think.
BAHAHAHAhahaha!!! Awesome.
And better than the “Hey, you wanna bone?” which I’ve had the pleasure of hearing on more than one occasion. (To which the only appropriate response is a robotic/monotone “Yes. I absolutely want to ‘bone’. That would be incredible. Thank you for asking.”
Yup, that’s why things are so hot around my house…

Don’t forget the all important “finger quotes”! :-P
V. Higgins?s last blog ..Heart breaking
Oh, you’re SO right! The finger quotes really “make it”!!

Classic Anne. Yep, take it as a compliment. The google reader actually had more of this conversation that made it even richer.
Bill (cycleguy)?s last blog ..Mess of Me
hahahaha LOVE IT!
Well, I’d take that over what my darling asked me last night. “Hey, Honey, do you remember those white pants you had on when you came home from ATL???” “Ummm, yeah, Babe, but that was YEARS ago and my fat butt will, unfortunately, no longer fit into them!!!” Yeah, it wasn’t his night! ;)
Hilarious! I love it.
Bianca Juarez?s last blog ..retreat…
Haha! Gotta love Spanx! :-)
Rachel H. Evans?s last blog ..Does God Speak To You?
Well I do not think I will ever make that mistake, I don’t have a clue what spanx are nor do I want to know.
Ah, a lesson in submission; you blogged it anyway.
Of course, you already covered that in Lesson 256, didn’t you? :)
Joe Sewell?s last blog ..Scared for Nothing!
Proof that I’m getting older (30 this year): The first thing I thought of when I saw “Spanx” was probably nowhere close to it’s actual meaning. Geesh….so much for being relevant. :)
Josh?s last blog ..My State of the Union
The older you get, the more you should know what Spanx are. If you’re a girl anyway.
My awkward conversation with the guy who invented Spanx:
Me: What do you do during the day?
Him: I invented Spanx. So….
Me: Oh, that’s kind of cool.
Him: Yep.

A female invented Spanx.

That’s what I thought. :-)

that Chris is a smooth rascal…
You go Chris!!
Rocco?s last blog ..Thought for the day
Hahaha. Anne, stumbling across your blog this year has been one of the best things for too many reasons. :)
How is it every time I tell my wife she looks ‘really good today,’ it’s as if I’m saying that she didn’t look really good yesterday. Like I’m implying “You looked like a whale yesterday. What did you do differently?” I can’t win.
Matt @ The Church of No People?s last blog ..Who Are You?
It all depends on our mood, the tone and the emphasis. And you’ll NEVER win!!! :)
Chris K?s last blog ..Fatigue
I’ll remember that one. I’m with most of the other guys here. It sounds different in my head too.

HA! That’s too funny. But, I’m curious. Were you? ;)
