Times have changed. Even when you are stuck in a meeting where you can’t take a call, you can still have important conversations with the one you love.
Did I narrowly avoid a minor disaster?
Thank you Blackberry Messenger!
Text Message conversation between me and the Hubby:
Hubs:
Hey baby. SweetGirl just found and caught a toad. She named it Mr.Nubs and she LOVES him. She really really wants to keep him.
Me:
And you told her?
Hubs:
Well… Do we still have the old aquarium?
Me:
NO.
(Thinking to myself. I already vacuum and swiffer every day thanks to our black lab who should be bald by now, I am the only one who looks after the damn fish that they just HAD to have, and you want to add some toad that you fished out of the pool to my to do list!?! Deal with this. Please.)
Hubby:
Oh.
What do you think I should do?
Me:
Honey. You are there. Can you please deal with this one?
Hubby:
Maybe the toad would be happier with its family?
Me:
Yes Honey. That’s perfect.
(Thank you for my sweet man with a big soft heart, and his blackberry)
We loved you Mr.Nubs.
ha – for sure – we have fish – that I am the only one who take care of – a dog – that i am the only one who take care of – NO MORE ANIMALS in this house either!
LOL, I’m glad Mr Nubs was able to go back to his family 😉
but now wasn’t that more fun than listening to a meeting 🙂
Hello! I just posted a funny animal find story myself. I mentioned you and your post and put a link. Check it out–I found a scorpion INSIDE my house! (YIKES!). It’s not nearly as cute as Mr. Nubs. 🙂
I love this! My dad was the same way…so many stray pets and funny ones (turtles, lizards, mice, etc.) Gross, now that I think of it, but cute that he wanted me to be happy!
Oh man, daddies and their daughters 🙂
Hmm, I will admit. The conversation is reversed in my house. Exhibit A? The turtles living in a pool outside. I am a sucker.
Too flipping funny, yup Rick would be oh I’ll just go buy a new tank. And then guess who can take care of it all!
Love it, super cute pics.
Love the blog! Grabbed the button 🙂
Aw, poor Mr. Nubs! Ah well, at least his family will be glad to have him back! 😉
I have textual relations with an amazing amount of partners. 🙂
So funny. I had the same situation when my daughter came home from a birthday party with fish in a bag. Who gives FISH in a goodie bag? I usually do candy and small toys. What is up with this people? You did the right thing…I think I might have caved.
Tooo cute. And such a great explanation. 🙂 Thanks for visiting my blog. Always happy to connect with a fellow Canuck!
That is such a cute little toad. Or frog. I never could tell them apart. Yesterday my boys found a scorpion in front of our house and another in the pool. Thankfully, both were dead so I don’t have to even entertain the thought of keeping one as a pet!
Oh – laughs from me! That is funny. My kids too had to have the fish. They want to keep every creature they find as well, even grasshoppers. WE keep them for an hour and then let them “live free.”
Thanks for stopping in.
I love toads.
