am i a whale?
November 14, 2014Didn’t think my previous post would stir up so much, I received a lot of emails from angry moms accompanied with words of encouragement. Thanks for the love guys, Masyaallah!! But I’m really ok! Was just angry that night and I’m pretty much over it by now. Husbands play such an important role in our lives and I’m super lucky to have Dean who knows how to handle me. In the weirdest most non-romantic way possible. But it works haha.
This was us yesterday:
After looking in the mirror with my ever growing bump (and thighs and arms and face, let’s not get me started shall we?), I noticed that I have gained weight even more than when I was pregnant with Daniel. Mannn… I read that pregnant women should expect to balloon up so being skinny should never be in our minds. I get it, and don’t worry, I’m not about to starve on a diet! Every woman will have to endure the weight gain which we can lose after birth, but still… months of being “fat” is just not a fun period to have mirrors in the house. *cries*
There’s nothing I can do about it, so… what are husbands for.
I plumped myself next to Dean on the sofa. He was innocently watching The Voice.
“Baby, am I a whale?” I asked Dean in the most manja aka the most dangerous tone, expecting only ONE answer.
“Of course not!” He said, giving me the utmost satisfaction. Clever husband.
“Ok, but I feel like a whale….” I wasn’t done being a mengada wife, as you can see.
“Oh, but you’re not,” he said stroking my hair. “Hey! Did you know whales are mammals?” Dean asked.
“Uhh… yeah I guess.”
“So are dolphins. But what about whalesharks?”
“Uhhh… they’re mammals too… I guess.”
“Do you think penguins are mammals?”
“Maybe….?”
Dean laughed. “You don’t know if penguins are mammals?”
“Of course I do,” I answered defensively, I’m never one to admit defeat. “It depends which penguins you’re talking about as there are a lot of penguin species,” my proud as-a-matter-of-fact answer.
“Is that so?”
And he went on asking me if elephants and reptiles are mammals.
After a while, I was thinking howwwww on earth did a manja am-I-fat conversation get to mammals and reptiles… he swerved the dangerous topic so smoothly to some other super non-romantic topic and got me quietly googling “Are Penguins Mammals?”. My cellulites were the last thing in my mind after that. Thank you, dear husband.
Now… I bet you’re going to google if penguins are mammals or not.
penguins are bird that cant fly.. i google!!hahahahaha
hahhhahhahahhahahahahah…it’s funny…don’t worry vivy …you’re still a hot mummy
Yes I did google that *shy*
yes. another tab is on “is penguin mammal”.
He was doing the “i-don’t-see-the-bag” trick again!
Licik sungguh!
gooood husband.
yes… very good husband.. ubah topik.. Dan cuba untuk mengelakkan soalan vivy dan fikiran u…
yes i did, I google the answer.. At this age baru tahu pasal peguin hahaha
haha u are also very clever, deviating the whole ‘awkward interview question’ thingy with this sweet post ๐
He’s trying not to get you to think so much, I think he can sense it’s a dangerous topic to go on & on. Btw, penguins are mamals ๐
I actually thought that penguin was a bird so I googled “is penguin a bird”
Hehehehe
I love to ask my husband questions that we anticipate the good answer to comfort me most…ok..go ahead with what ever i want..choco bar plis…
Dolphin and shark are mammals.. Whaleshark and penguin is not mammals.
honestly, your relationship with dean inspires me, inshaAllah will try to be as positive and wonderful like you two with my husband.
Smart tactic there Dean! =D
Hey, that’s a great move on Dean’s part to distract you from whats distressing you. I think I shall use the same tactic on my daughter. hehe..
i actually google-d! hehe
