I posted a week or so ago about not judging a book by it's cover. Well, my dear shy husband got a lesson in that tonight, which embarrassed the crud outa him. And, of course, I have to tell it now. I guess this could be a lesson to all on not assuming something until you know the facts as well. Not judging others by their words until you find out their hearts.
We were at hideaway pizza and happenstance was that my husband ended up in the "jerk of the month club" without even trying, or knowing what he did.
Let me set it up for you, it's good trust me.
So I'm sitting across the table from Scott and behind him are an older couple, their 40ish daughter, and her daughter. So, grandparents, daughter, young granddaughter.
We get our meal and are eating. Now, Scott ordered a chicken alfredo pizza because he'd never tried one before and, let me just tell you, we ENJOY our food. We are foodies for sure. Hmmm, I should really write a blog on foods. But back to this... So, he tries something new and get's really excited at how good it is. He's raving about it, saying he will order this from now on, and is just...really excited. In the meantime I notice the people behind him getting up to leave. I'm halfway listening, what can I say, I'm a bad wife. Anyway, 40ish daughter drops her keys and starts to bend over towards us. I immediately direct my attention back to my plate because, let's face it, I'm not interested in seeing her bend over in her too-short-for-her-age-shorts.
It is at this exact moment that Scott (who's been talking about this pizza and focused only on the plate in FRONT of him) let's out a "WHOOHOO", for having found a yummy new dish of course. What? You don't whoohoo when you have yummy food???
And out of the corner of my eye I see an exaggerated quick movement that makes me look up only to realize that this woman has immediately POPPED back up and turned quickly around to glare at the back of my husband's head...and then she looks at me with disdain. BOOM, my husband in the jerk of the month club with women everywhere.
It took me a moment of confusion when she looked so haughtily at me to realize that he'd "whoohoo'd" at the exact moment she bent over and then I began to laugh hysterically. They walk out, and she and her father both glare down at Scott on the way out and I'm laughing and Scott's asking me "What??? What's so funny"??? Which I had to wait to tell him until they were gone because I KNEW how embarrassed he'd be when I did.
This poor innocent man had no clue what'd he'd done and MAN did he turn red when I finally got to tell him.
Poor guy, he was so embarrassed, his timing was everything, he made the jerk of the month club, AND possibly made another woman's night all at one time! He's good and he didn't even know it! And seriously, mid-sentence me telling him what he'd done THIS was the look on his face, riiiight before the red came and he laughed.
