Gentlemen, please take note ...

The Hormone Hostage aka my husband knows that there are days in the month when all a man has to do is open his mouth and he takes his very life into his own hands!

This is a handy guide to correct speech on those aforementioned days, that should be as common as a driver's license in the wallet of every husband, boyfriend, or significant other!!

DANGEROUS :: What's for dinner?
SAFER :: Can I help you with dinner?
SAFEST :: Where would you like to go for dinner?
ULTRASAFE :: Here, have some chocolate.

DANGEROUS : Are you wearing that?
SAFER : Gee, you look good in brown.
SAFEST : WOW! Look at you!
ULTRASAFE : Here, have some chocolate.

DANGEROUS : What are you so worked up about?
SAFER : What did I do wrong?
SAFEST : Here's fifty pounds, go and get some new shoes.
ULTRASAFE : Here, have some chocolate.

DANGEROUS : Should you be eating that?
SAFER : You know, there are a lot of apples left.
SAFEST : Can I get you a glass of wine with that?
ULTRASAFE : Here, have some chocolate.

DANGEROUS : What did you do all day?
SAFER : I hope you didn't over-do it today.
SAFEST : I've always loved you in that robe!
ULTRASAFE : Here, have some more chocolate.

It is suggested that all the co-inhabitant at Chez le Laquet should, press print now!

Hm, you appear to have posted 3 more times since I was in here earlier this morning...and they all have different dates. I'm onto you lassie! well kinda sorta, maybe not lol

I loved reading this, had a really good laugh. If I had to pick anyone in particular it would have to be "Can I get you a glass of wine with that?" lol

The boiled cake recipe looks really yum, although I think I'd enjoy doing the coconut/cherry thing more, never was keen on fruit cake. Yeah, I might have to try the coconut thing.

I have seen this before and love it. I always tend to wonder what the meaning behind the words is when it comes from a man at certain times, and now I can post these all around me.

as for your question about Valentines ...
Jo,
I haven't done Valentines for the wee ones yet... been sick, felt bad after being out of the house for more than an hour. Will have to get it done today. All the good stuff will be gone... Thinking pencils and a balloon or bubbles maybe... just don't know, can't do candy.

Lisa ~ No, 3 posts 2 days! But Blogger has been playing up for me and even I worry about the time zone thing .... so who knows?
I prefer the cake with coconut and cheeries too, delicious!

Bennu ~ it made me laugh so much and the chocolate thing only works for me if he's buying Lindt!
