Like, totally grody.

Mkay.  I have to share how gross my husband is.  I mean, like, really for real gross.

His favorite coffee drink of choice is a venti iced breve latte.  Do you know what breve means?  No?  REALLY?  Well, let me enlighten you.  Instead of putting milk in it, breve means "load me up with a big fat heart attack and put nasty freakin' half and half in my drink instead, because I'm sooper nasty".  THAT'S what that means.

*shudder*

The mister is one of those consumers who will buy something because it's name-brand, and pronounce it better.  Well, I'm one of those consumers who will buy the bare minimum of crap I have to buy, and you bettah believe that NONE of it is name brand crap, unless the name brand crap is on sale for cheaper than the generic crap.

So, half and half being as expensive as a WHOLE GALLON of milk, I usually don't give a rat's heiney what kind I come home with.  Plus, I don't really drink it, so what the hell do I care, anyway, right? 

Well, mister label-whore heart-attack-in-a-cup-thankyouverymuch informed me this evening that.......... *GASP*............ he actually likes the generic half and half better than Knudsen's half and half.  Okay, first of all, the generic crap is $1.77 for a quart, and the Knudsen's is $2.17 for a quart (yes, I'm sick and I know this off the top of my head, now hush).  I calmly told hubby, "Well, that's neat, because you're gonna get whatever I buy you, and I'm gonna buy you the cheaper stuff."

Then I started thinking.

"Hey, honey, how can you even tell the difference between them?"  Bad, bad question.  The answer, of course, is because he tastes the half and half BEFORE he puts coffee in his cup.  (*gag*)

I had no idea that he was a connoisseur of nastiness.  I mean, that's like, disgusting times 50.  Eeew.  Gross.  ICK!  Yechhh!  Blech!  (insert crazy pregnant woman doing the freaked-out chicken dance of disgust.... HERE.)

okay I agree, nasty, what is he thinking? You tell him Daph. You should do a taste test with some of the name brand verses the generics. Just for fun, see if he even notices. Proove to him that name brand usually means nada. Although that may be some pricey entertainment.

Ewwww. Sometimes you just shouldn't ask the question if you don't want to know the answer.

I think the only fair response to that nastiness is to offer something "stright from the cow" once the lil' one comes.

Did I just say you should put breastmilk in your husband's coffee? Why, yes. Yes I did.

Ewww...yeah, that's a lot of fat and calories just for coffee. I prefer to eat my calories. Pass the donuts, please!

LMAO about the breastmilk. I SO told him I was going to do that when I was nursing Phoebe, but of course he wouldn't dare drink boobie milk. How funny is that!?

Although I might have to try it next time around just to see his reaction.......

MUHAHAHAHA!
