My husband and I were called in to action tonight to go and sit for our adorable niece, 9 months old.  My brother threw out his back and needed to go to the ER.  My niece was sleepy when we arrived and I didn’t want to miss any shnuggle nice with her so I cuddled with her on the couch and flipped the TV off of the World Poker Tour to something a little more…I don’t know, just not poker.  I ended up with a showing of the Sound of Music starring Julie Andrews.  I was more than a little shocked when my husband asked; “what movie is this?”  WHAT???  How does he not know that?  I realize that because I was a nanny for 13 years that and that I watched the movie, oh I don’t know, approximately 4361 times that I may be a little more familiar, but I did expect him to know what the hell it was. 

Then it got significantly worse when he asked what Maria’s characters name was, “what’s her name?  Scarlett O’Hara?  Laughter from me, “really, isn’t that Scarlett O’Hara?”  Roaring laughter now, oh my God, couldn’t breathe I was doubled over clutching my abdomen and not because the Clomid was working it’s magic.  Finally I told him that Scarlett O’Hara was from Gone With the Wind, and that that woman was Fraulein Maria, soon to be Maria Von Trapp. 

… 

So that part of the evening was hugely funny.  I wasn’t expecting the wallop that the baby.com commercial packed.  If I can remember what I saw through my tears it was something like; “remember when you looked forward all week to poker night with the guys”  It had a dad and some cute little boys looking at a frog.  The fact that my husband looks forward to poker night stung hard as it went on to say, “a baby changes everything, blah blah blah, now you look forward to boys night in”

Yeah that part of the night sucked.
