Exposed to a Higher Standard





www.thecia.com

I officially had the best time ever last night. Despite the fact that I was forced to re-dress after getting into my comfortable stay at home clothes and go out to the scary movie theater with the girls. I know that most people don't like "chick flicks" and normally I'm one of them. But, this is one of the most all time romantic movies I have ever seen in my entire life. It was absolutely pure in every way and completely entertaining. I found myself curled up in my seat unable to stand the suspense. Yeah, I know. Not many people get really excited that somebody is going to get proposed to but, last night, I did. I want to see this movie again. And after that I'd like to see it again...
So, for those guys who think this is stupid and no one is really like this I think that you should know...If you don't act like the men in this movie, however stupid you think it may be, we won't marry you.

OK I am very happily married and ya'll have me excited about the movie. Yes, and men, it does pay to try.

Carroll said...

Goodness! I just realized that we promised to help you put up your canopy after the movie. I guess we were all too wrapped up in cheeseburgers to remember. Let me know if you need help.

As I sit and eat my little pizza for lunch I fondly remember last night's McDonald's run. I don't need help with my bed. My parents volunteered. Or, I volunteered them. They don't mind.

Y'all are living in your own little corner of a 4th dimension that bears little resemblence to reality. Scary...

With all due respect, of course,

P.S. So what "higher standard" are you holding yourselves to for the benefit of the male of the species? Or isn't that a concern at all for you female types?

Rachael said...

Well, since we already wash "men's" dirty clothes, mop their floors, cook their meals, bear their children, raise their children, and find their car keys and wallats for them...I'm gonna leave it up the guys to improve.

If you argue I'll teach Kimberly how to beg for another brother and sister.

Rachael said...

I'm with you Hannah. And Mr. Tumnus.

Rachael - I second that!!!! Truer words have never been spoken... And "y'all" can have the red hair... I'll take Mr.Darcy

I tell you what. If all the ladies in the world will agree to turn themselves into Keira Knightley, then I suppose I could turn myself into Colin Firth (or whoever plays Darcy in the new one). Actually, sadly (or happily, from their perspective) for the rest of the world's ladies, only one woman in the world could make me act like Mr. Darcy - the lovely B. Oh, and we haven't seen the new P & P yet, but the old one is B's all-time favorite. It's like 6 hours long, though, and I really struggled to make it all the way through. Speaking as a guy, though, it was a 6-hour investment that's totally worth the marriage capital it pays off in. Long live romance movies!

Woo hoo! J - I nominate you to lead the remedial training for the boys.

> since we already wash "men's" dirty clothes

Since you're washing your own (which is typically 3-5 times the amount per day that men generate in dirty laundry), you might as well wash our tiny contribution while you're at it...

> mop their floors

Since women spend more time in the home (which is as it should be) then it behooves you to clean up most of what you have dirtied. We wouldn't want to refer to you as wallowing in your own filth, now, would we?

> cook their meals

yes, how many meals have you cooked for your family lately, Rach? And no, going through the MC'D's drive-thru for a Mr. Tumnus meal x 5 does not count.

> bear their children

It's women that want the children in the first place so y'all get what you asked for (we're just happy to oblige with the kick-off event).

> raise their children

We all know that that's why God created TV so you can just plunk them down in front of one for hours on end while you drool over your collection of Mr. Tumnuses. If you want to refer to that as "raising" children, then so be it. And from most of what I have seen, children grow up pretty much on their own with little parental input (parents are just there to help prevent loss of limbs, digits, poking out of eyes, etc.)

> find their car keys and wallats for them...

Well, I don't own a 'wallat' but in MY house, I keep track of my own car keys and wallet (I only have one) while typically trying to help L find where her equivalents are. Of course the 'wallat's owner, whom you are berating, is the reason you have a roof over your head allowing you to wash/mop/bear/raise/etc. without having to do it in a cave somewhere!

> I'm gonna leave it up the guys to improve.

Well if that ain't a kick in the head from your favorite pony! With an attitude like this, being (suppossedly) "HOT" 'an all and you're still single? Go figure!!! I guess you haven't been hitting all the right firing ranges. Keep tryin' girl!

DING...next round...

Rich,

You are so going down. At the next leadership meeting I'm nominating you for EVERYTHING. Including the next leader of Bible club as well as praise and worship team leader. And then you're gonna be in charge of writing the nursery toddler schedule. That should show you!

Richpo the Unmagnificent said...

R(ach),
Yes, please nominate me for EVERYTHING. I would be humbled to be the GOD of FBC who controls EVERYTHING! Whahahaha!!!

The Anonymous R

P.S. When you get the time from you busy schedule of washing, mopping, bearing, raising, etc. please help me find my 'wallat', woman! (As Jimmy would say).

Rachael said...

I can spell wallat any way I want to. I'm starting a Rachael Dictionairy (probly spelled that wrong too) and I'll be teaching your children out of it every Sunday morning from 9:45-12:00. Oh, Jimmy learned what happens when you address Rachael as "woman." It's a little project I call "From now on...do it yourself."

p.s.-Jimmy, you look good sweepin' that floor..

babyarnie said...

NO WALLAT?? DO YOU CARRY A "MANPURSE" LIKE DAVE DOES?? HOW METROSEXUAL OF YOU! :)

Anonymous said...

Well, my first duty as elected GOD of FBC of EVERYTHING (according to Rachael), will be to remove one Rachael from all children's ministries. That will be the end of her liberal, gun-totin' agenda to corrupt the youth of the Bible belt! I will also elect one Rachael as the sole person in the new Church Cleaning Ministry (to carry on the selfless work of Joy "I gotta lose 10 lbs this year" ).

The Anonymous R

P.S. Manpurse. Funny. You and your Klishnikov are next (as soon as I can find an unworthy ministry to start just for you).

Uh-oh, Rich. Check the spelling of "resemblence" in a dictionary. You might be surprised.
