*Let me preface it by saying that we were talking about our usual little makeshift New Year's Eve party where we have appetizer-type foods and play board games*
Don: So are we having our New Year's Eve party?
Me: Definitely!
Don: Maybe we should play the new Seinfeld Scene-It?
Me: Yeah, that's a good idea.
*Here's the part where it gets ugly*
Don: And let's not eat all that disgusting crap* we usually have.
*by "disgusting crap" he's referring to the food that I normally prepare for parties.
Me: ~~awkward silence~~
Don: I mean, I always feel so gross after I've eaten it.
Me: Okay...
Don: So what do you think we should have?
Me: (getting mad) Well, you're the one who doesn't want the "disgusting crap." You tell me what you want.
Don: Why are you getting mad? Why do you take everything so personally?
Me: ~~dead silence~~
Don: I mean, don't you feel gross after you eat that cheese and stuff?
Me: No.
Don: I just think we should eat something healthier.
Me: Just tell me what you want and I'll make it.
Don: (long pause) Grapes?
Me: (thinking to myself) Grapes!?!
Me: Okay, you can have grapes.
So today the kids and I went shopping at some gourmet stores for our party food.
But Don will be ringing in the New Year in the doghouse with...
grapes.
EDIT--Hold the phone! I just read this on Noble Pig --maybe we'll all eat grapes!?!

Okay...I am laughing so hard and I am an old woman ...not a pretty sight...Don goofed up!
Happy New Year!!!
Men! They know just the right thing to say. P.J. once told me (after I spent hours making a cheesecake for one of my family gathering - in front of my entire family)"Your cheesecake is okay but the center tastes like SNOT!"
Yeah, Thanks!!!
So glad to hear the process on the house is still going well. Best of luck today!!!!!
Men can be so dense!
Have a Happy New Year:-)
Grapes! Ha ha, my 3yo would love it, shes into grapes. Funny how they say lets not have "this", then expect you to think up something new, I HATE that.
Have a great New Year with your yummy crap!
Oh sounds like Don will be mainly having foot. As in open mouth insert foot. Yep I would say he is definitly in the house of dogs.
Oh boys........
LOL !!!! MEN !!!!!
A grape and a small square of cheese on a toothpick is rather yummy. My Mum used to make those and poke them into an orange so that it resembles a hedgehog. Us kids thought it was so cool. :-)
Happy New Year...
Well, maybe he'll get all the sour ones!!! LOL
Grapes? lol, what a great grape idea from "Noble". Sounds fun! Happy New Year!
LMAO- Oh my gosh, I can't belive he said that. men.
Happy New Year, Jen!! =)
That is so funny....I mean I know it wouldn't have been if I were you when he said it....but....ok.....I hope you all get sweet grapes!
Have a happy new year!!!!
Jen,
Men suck sometimes! I am so sorry it was your mans turn. It happens to all of us.
I have seen pictures of the food you make and it looks fabulous! Don't listen to him.
Oh, dear.
You need to show him this: http://bewareofthedoghouse.com/video.aspx
Maybe you could serve cheese pie at your party. With chai lattes.
Happy New Year!!
OMG that is hilarious...I would have been so mad too! But is funny about the grapes and all...I hope his skewer doesn't have all sour ones! Ha!
Isn't there some kind of fruit that looks like grapes that is horribly sour? You could string his skewer with 12 of those! Poor poor silly man...
Hope you have a wonderful party with all of your cheeses and grapes, and a Happy New Year!
That is hilarious...hope he has fun eating grapes...I hope you bought the "disgusting crap" for you to enjoy!
He wants to know why you take everything so personally?...ummm..maybe because it's YOU that makes and prepares everything!
I think you handled it very well. He will be very sad (and empty bellied) if all he eats is grapes. I hope you guys still enjoy your yummy feast, and find a good comprimise:)
Bahahahahahaha! I hope he enjoys his grapes!
We're have cheesy stuff, too! Yummmmmm!
Oh yeah, I'd be wagging those lushious grapes in front of his face whlie I was woofing down all the crap, LOL!!! Don't worry, Big Daddy will come out with "crap" like like when I'm menu planning, and it just gets real ugly on that menu, LOL!!!
I am sorry that he said that to you and he totally deserved to be in the dog house but that is funny.
I'm really into the "disgusting food" on New Years, too! Grapes, not so much!
Don's ringing in the new year with his foot in his mouth, huh? I hope he enjoyed his grapes! lol
Happy New Year! xoxo
Unfortunate conversation, indeed!
Sometimes men should really think before they speak, huh?
Oh, well. Hope you had a great party!
Men...do they think before they speak? Hope he enjoyed his grapes! ;)
I SO read the Disgusting crap post first, then this one. NOW the Disgusting crap post makes sense. Too funny!
I want your disgusting crap, I had a handful of mnm's and dog kisses!
Men! My husband does the same stuff. He doesn't mean it badly, but, boy howdy, does it come out that way. Love the grape idea, btw!
LMAO! I hope he enjoyed his grapes! :)
*lol* Poor Don. I hope the doghouse was well insulated.
Along with chocolate, another thing I hate are grapes! But that's OK...I saw the same post over at Cathy's place (Noble Pig) and the Little Imp, who would live on Grapes if I let her, ate enough grapes on New Years eve for everyone in the house...including the animals!
Hope you had a great New Year and that 2009 brings you as much happiness and humour as you bring to those who read your blog!
