[him] "See those wheels? Those little ones? They go DOWN for strolling and UP for jogging."
[me] "Uh, is that something I'M going to be able to do? By myself?"
[him] "Well unless you're the dumbest mother alive, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to manage moving those ones up and that one down, and vice versa..."
[me] "It's not about me being DUMB you moron, it's about me being UNCOORDINATED and GIMPY!"
[him] "See those women? Those ones right there? THEY can all do it..."
[me] "Just because there's pictures of mommies on the INTERNET doing it, doesn't mean *I* can do it. They've also probably got 2.5 kids, a dog, a cat, and a husband who kayaks AND comes home to make dinner... And they probably got pregnant on their FIRST try!"
[him] "You know those women aren't REAL right?"
[me] "You used them AGAINST me! If they were real for YOUR scenario, they're real for MY scenario!"
[him] "Good lord... this kid thing... it's just gonna give us all sorts of new and fascinating ways to be mean to each other isn't it?"
[me] "Meh, at least it'll give us some new things to talk about. I was getting kind of tired of you anyway."

You'll look back longingly at intelligible conversations with beginning, middle and end.
I wouldn't worry about being mean to each other. Once the baby comes, the only thing you'll be talking about for 3-4 years is poop. You can start now, if you want to get a jump on things.
Haha...sounds like a conversation between my husband and me.
What would be interesting is to chart how conversations change throughout a relationship.
From meeting to dating to married to pregnant to teenage years to empty next to retirement (and everything in between).
I guess the important thing is that you keep talking no matter what's going on.
P.S. I loved how you turned his words on him about the REAL mothers on the box. Perhaps the REAL trick is to be able to do that through all stages of your relationship. Maybe that's what really matters. :)
Ha ha ha ha ha! I love you, Chicklet! And I think you should teach a workshop on funny and clever arguing techniques, because you are clearly very good at coming up with them.
I can hardly wait to witness the repartee myself.
STILL laughing!
You are too funny! I cannot wait until the baby is here--I can only imagine those conversations! :)
Your conversations are just going to get better and funnier...if thats possible.
Your right - at least it gives you new conversation topics. We have hit things I never even CONSIDERED before.
I love reading the conversations you have with your husband. Keep them coming...
