Levi and I were sitting around yesterday after the kids went to bed talking. He asked if there was anything in particular that I wanted the kids to get me for Mother's Day. Levi and I are very practical gift givers...if there is something that we want that is a tad pricey then we wait for a holiday. I know...not very romantic or spontaneous, but neither of us have "Receiving gifts" as a love language (from Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman) and we are both very frugal with money.
So I said, "Hmmmm, well, I need some new shoes and I think I want a Magic Bullet."
I wish that I had had a camera ready. I wish that I could recreate the look of shock on my husband's face! Priceless.
He replies, "They have "magic" ones? You want the kids to get you that!?" said in disbelief.
I just busted out laughing.
What I meant was this:
So that I can make my smoothies without pulling out the blender and having to clean the bulky thing.
He thought I meant this:
(I have this one:))
Hysterical!
That is so funny. You know where is mind was!
ReplyDeleteI think his mind is always there:)
DeleteI am with your husband on this, I would have thought the same thing! Ha!
ReplyDeleteHaha! He will be glad to know he was not alone:)
DeleteOh Bless him, that is priceless, know which one I would prefer.:)
ReplyDeletelove Jan.xx
I know, huh? Blenders are a pain...oh, you meant the other one didn't you?:)
DeleteVery funny ;) That Levi has a dirty mind...bwhahahahah! I love that, "They have magic ones??" I will never again see the commercial for the REAL Magic Bullet on TV without smirking.
ReplyDeleteThe REAL one is quite phallic now that I think about it:)
DeleteLOL! Hey, that magic bullet looks pretty awesome. The one that makes smoothies...:) I think I need one too.
ReplyDeleteIt does look neat and looks like it would be so much easier to clean...I have been having a smoothie for breakfast every day and am about ready to throw the blender across the room:)
DeleteOmigoodness, you gave me the mad giggles. I can just imagine! But....I knew what you meant, lol :-p Yet one more difference between the male and female minds...
ReplyDelete(((hugs)))
I think his mind is never far from "there":) It was just so funny cause I totally wasn't even connecting the two and looked at him all confused as to why he would care if the kids bought me the Magic Bullet?
DeleteLOL!!!! I don't think any of us will look at THAT smoothie maker the same. ;)
ReplyDeleteI just keep thinking...magic ones...hmmmm...what, like push a button and automatic "O"? It is quite phallic looking:)
DeleteLOL! Awesome.
ReplyDeleteFYI, we have one and absolutely love it, but it broke this morning... It appears that if you get the outside of the base wet too many times, it'll degrade the gears in the inside. Just a heads up!
Good to know...you would think they would make it so that you can get it wet...like, duh, hello...if it isn't wet when you are using it then you are using it wrong, right?
DeleteWell, it's the outside part of the piece that connects it to the base. You'll see what I'm talking about when you get it. :)
DeleteThankfully their customer service is awesome, there's a 1 year warranty.
I hope you two are talking about the one that DOESN'T make drinks.
Delete~S
Holy cow! I am laughing so hard I am going to bust a gut!! RPW, I thought you were talking about the bedroom one:) My face is so red right now...Omg...I am not even blond but my blond is showing.
DeleteLol S, it appears we were talking about different things:)
Well even if you were talking about the one that makes drinks, I was going to pretend otherwise.
Delete~PB
I have the one you met, it is great! Interesting where those male minds seem to reside!
ReplyDeletehugs abby
Glad to know that someone likes theirs...
DeleteALWAYS on his mind:)
LOL, that is so funny. "they have magic ones?" No wonder he was surprised you wanted the kids to get you one!
ReplyDeleteHugs

I keep wondering what he thought a magic one would do...push a button and automatic "O"...that would be kinda cool...need to go invent that:)
DeleteROFLMBO! Thanks for the laugh Bea.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Cat
No problem, Cat:)
DeleteWell as long as he doesn't get confused AFTER you buy the Magic Bullet!!
ReplyDeletelove, willie
I know, huh? That would be a bit large...and dangerous:)
DeleteLOLLLLL Bea! You must have been howling! Thank you for starting my morning off with a laugh. Hugs!
ReplyDelete<3 Katie
Glad you thought it was funny:) I couldn't stop laughing.
DeleteToo funny I needed a good laugh thanks
ReplyDeleteYour welcome:)
DeleteWe got the former Magic Bullet as a wedding gift, still works great!
ReplyDeleteWho knows, maybe he will move on his first intention and get you a new toy for the bedroom as well.
~S
Glad to know that you like the "Smoothie maker"...as far as the other, I doubt it, but a girl can dream:)
DeleteToo funny! We are practical gift givers, too...neither of our love languages is receiving gifts either (though once and a while it is nice) I would love some smoothie recipes if you would not mind sharing...I am thinking of some other recipes to share... :-) Hugs
ReplyDeleteHonestly right now I just use danon light and fit vanilla yogurt with frozen fruit and a splash of milk or oj. I sometimes add flax seed. I will let you know if I come up with anymore:)
DeleteOkay, I have to comment on this, even though it is a year old.
ReplyDeleteMy wife has gone through three magic bullets, uses it multiple times a day, every day. I mean the smoothie kind. At this point, part of the fun is watching peoples facial expressions when she makes that statement.
She's moved on to the Ninja, which is much more efficient, but not nearly as fun to say. Here is our secret recipe smoothie that has become a stable of her daily meal plan;
5 ice cubes, 1/2 cup of OJ, 1/2 cup of frozen strawberries (or your fruit of choice) 1/2 cup of non fat plain yogurt and a light coating of crystal light strawberry kiwi drink mix for a bit of tartness. We've used this recipe for over 5 years now and never get tired of it.
That sounds yummy!! I will have to try that. When you say a light coating...you just sprinkle some on top or what? Yes, I freaked out a couple of friends when I finally got one too, but my husbands face was just hysterical!
