Why we can't have nice things....

Me: Can we get a comforter with skulls on it?

Hubs: No

Me: Just look at it.  They are arranged very nicely. Almost a flower pattern.

Hubs: No

Me: Oh, come on.  Don’t be racist… just because they don’t have flesh!

Hubs: (cricket chirping silence….)

Me: We should set a good example for the kids.

Hubs: (….uncomfortable silence….)

Me: They are happy skulls… they are smiling, see?! I mean... I'm not asking for flesh eating, bloody skulls or piratey skulls with the whole plunder thing.  No dead come back to life skulls.  These guys are happy.  Dare I say whimsical? They make you wanna smile.  Don't you wanna look at them every day and smile????

Hubs: (I can only assume he’s rolling his eyes or that he has tossed his phone out of the car)

Me: Well.  They are adorable and I think we are missing out because of your closed minded-ness!

….

Me: So I suppose the zombie apocalypse comforter is out as well.

Hubs: you guessed right.

Me: deep sigh.
