Parent/Teacher Conferences
Teacher: "Marc is a very smart kid. His only problem is that he sometimes rushes through his work because he wants to be the first one done."
Hubby starts laughing. I give him an evil glare.
Hubby: "Wow, I just don't know where he gets THAT from." Rolls eyes in my direction.
Me: "Shut up."
Teacher: "It just seems very important to him that he is the best at everything. Is that something he gets from you?"
Hubby: "She is not allowed to play board games at our house because she is the biggest sore loser ever. Her family won't even play Trivial Pursuit any more with her after the Kimodo Dragon incident."
Me: "Kimono Dragon/Kimodo Dragon. Whatever. That answer totally should have counted. I was robbed and you know it."
Hubby: "Yeah, that was, like, 10 years ago and you are still pissed off about it."
Me: "Oh just shut up."
Hubby: "Exactly."

That is hilarious. I love how you portray yourself so brutally honest-like here!
Here's a suggestion for next time this comes up: "Marc got this behavior from my husband. I still have mine."
Marc would have so much fun with Brandon. We get notes home about his all-encompassing need to be first all. the. time.
He's actually pretty sweet and patient at home. Not so much at school.
Oh, my, this made me laugh. out. loud. Brings back fond memories of sitting in parent/teacher conferences myself (translating). The things you'd learn about people.
(And what a difference a consonant makes... mwahahahahaha)
THAT'S FUNNY!
you guys are a great couple, that totally cracked me up
How funny. I bet playing Scattergories with you is a trip. That game always degenerates into an argument about what does and does not qualify.
I am a bad loser when my husband beats me in Scrabble. Which he has started doing a lot lately! Erggg!!
That's GREAT, I needed a good funny story. My family won't play Trivial Pursuit with me as well, I don't lose well.
I have played Trivial Pursuit with her. That's all I'm sayin'....
**grin** Thanks for the honesty. I knew there were other sore losers out there that hold grudges. Memories like elephants, I tell ya.
My "bad" game is Taboo. I have been banned from that one.
Thanks a ton for the chuckle.
