I love Tuesday nights. Most weeks I get to have the two youngens who remain at home actually AT home LOL
Once they get to be teenagers, there are so many places for them to go, that we don’t get an evening of family togetherness very often.
But on Tuesday evenings, we manage to corral both of them to watch “House” and “Boston Legal”. Both of these programs are clever and fast-paced, and we have good discussions during the commercials LOL
Last week, Middle Son was gone though, so he missed the shows. During Boston Legal, a female character asked a male colleague how his latest relationship was going. He replied, “It’s not”.
Son turned to me questioningly. So I had about 60 seconds (during the commercials LOL) to explain.
Speaking rapidly, I explained: Last week Brad went out with a new intern who was really pretty and very aggressive. When he asked her if she would like to have dinner, she said, “Sure, and later we can go to my apartment and I will show you my vagina.”
He was taken aback but intrigued. His intrigue soon turned tragic though, as the young lady made frequent references to her vagina, and while he admitted he found “that area” charming and entertaining, the verbalization of the word “vagina” was making him very uncomfortable. So he broke it off. Then he saw Ms. Vagina flirting with a group of other men, and had second thoughts, (as camera pans slowly over her comely form LOL).
He speaks to her and voices his regret, but she (and her vagina) have moved on, and she tells him that his discomfort is his own problem, and that she can’t be involved with a man who can’t even say the word out loud.
Husband had taken the commercial break to use the restroom and was just returning, as I finished the story. I was saying, “So as she is walking away, Brad bites his lip, then shouts (and I shouted to accurately re-tell the tale), “VAGINA!”
This was the precise moment Husband came into the room far enough to hear the conversation. Both of the kids and I were laughing so hard tears were running down our faces. Husband stood there, perplexed but intrigued.
He decided not to ask, smiled and sat down.
He’s so wise.

Thanks for the recap of last week’s episode..since it was pre-empted here for the “breaking news” of people stuck in a cable car in NYC. And I loved the slice of family life as well! Your Hubby made the wise choice indeed.

LOL! My last Boston Legal reference was telling the boss that pretty soon he’d be doing the “Denny Crane” all over the office because he’s so forgetful.

See, now THAT is an attention grabbing headline. Too freaking funny, Marti, seriously… that is hilarious!

Ha ha ha! That headline sure grabbed my attention! Too funny.

LOL. I think my hubby would have the exact same reaction.
At least he wouldn’t turn red and run away

tuesday’s episodes were great wont they? My other shows have all been recaps this week. (lost, greys anatomy, desperate housewives). I always get a kick out of the way people react to certain words. and i know alot of guys like Brad who cant handle the word Vagina…or period or menstration, so i try to use them often in their presence. Maybe i am mean, but i laugh.

Marti’s back.
I watch “House” as well. Great show.
Can’t say that I’ve seen Boston Legal.
I do, however see “Boston Illegal” everyday.
I love Hugh Laurie.
He’s an avid motorcycle enthusiast, jazz piano playing, British chap.
Nice to see you back in form.

HAHAHA! Your hubby sounds like mine!

Nothing like walking in on the tail end of a story and hearing VAGINA being yelled out. That’s great. I saw my first episode of House last night (the preacher kid). Interesting program.
April 27th, 2006 at 2:45 pm
So funny actually and also seeing the reaction of your hubby when both of you yelled “VAGINA”
April 27th, 2006 at 5:54 pm
Your title reeled me right in! LOL - funny post. Good one, Marti.
April 27th, 2006 at 8:17 pm
I have not watched those shows. How old is your son?
Funny - really funny. I wonder why hubby was really thinking?! LOL

Hey Marti. Sorry I haven’t been around in a while. It’s life catching up, you know? Hope you’ve been well. This post is a HOOT! I don’t watch much TV, but maybe I should start watching on Tuesday nights?

Thanks to Grey’s Anatomy, I prefer “va-jay-jay” these days.

I still haven’t recovered from the title name.
