  1. hahahahahhahaa YES Moses Tampons and inappropriate shoes. someone somewhere in the world must want to give the two of you a book deal, this is pure, unequivocal gold that should really be shared on a proper global level. X

    ReplyDelete

  7. thank you for this.

    i already started a conversation with kotex for you guys.

    they said they were looking for a new marketing scheme and this might be just right.

    that way guys don't feel awkward buying something that says moses on there. it couldn't possibly be tampons.

    ReplyDelete

  12. Oh my gosh. Could he be any cuter? Laughing hysterically this morning. Thanks for that:)

    ReplyDelete

  13. These are HILARIOUS. This past week, I had one of my new Scottish friends email me and say she looked forward to having a "blether" the next time I saw her. Had to look that one up--essentially means "a chat". I told her I had to look it up, and she said that she would have told me it meant a "triple whiskey" just to see my face. So, lucky I googled it. ;)

    Oh, and went to Cameron House this past weekend, based on your past post about it. Beautiful.

    ReplyDelete

  14. These are awesome! The culture difference just makes me laugh.

    ReplyDelete

  17. These never fail to make me laugh but..
    Oh my..this one takes the cake.
    too funny.

    ReplyDelete

  18. See I can never remember enough of mine and Chris's conversations to be able to write about them - then again some people just wouldn't get them.

    We had one the other day that I do remember - I opened the dishwasher at exactly the moment that Chris walked through the front door - I saw that it was empty and did a funny happy skip from the kitchen to the front door while squeaky something like "He did it! He did it!" and then hugged Chris and didn't let go for like 5 minutes (it sounds really silly but Chris often says I'll do that before bed and then doesn't but this time he did and I got very excited about it lol). Our Sidekick then followed me out of the kitchen shouting "my turn my turn" then hugged Chris. Yes it is a mad house!)

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    Good advice on the Moses Tampon thing. I would NOT buy tampons with a Biblical reference. Too weird.

    ReplyDelete

  29. thats hilarious! you two sound adorable, you should do come audio recordings of your convos! xxx

    ReplyDelete

  30. thats hilarious! you two sound adorable, you should do come audio recordings of your convos! xxx

    ReplyDelete

  31. You made me laugh out loud while I was waiting for my 2 yr. old to finish pooping in the corner so I could change her diaper. Not usually my favorite moment.
    Well done, you!

    ReplyDelete

  32. Not sure I would buy a biblical referenced tampon--just in case Stephen was going to go ahead and set it up.

    ANd a cleet? Never heard that in my whole life--why is it called that?

    And the pair of you crack me up--seriously!

    ReplyDelete

  33. Yes I love these conversations!!!

    ReplyDelete

  34. these never cease to amaze me. i almost want a foreign boyfriend just so i can have these kinds of convos with him. don't think the current boyfriend would approve though...

    ReplyDelete

  35. These posts are my favourite!

    ReplyDelete

  36. I can't stop laughing about the soccer cleat. Your conversations are hilarious, I love them! You should post them every day :)

    ReplyDelete

  37. One day, I want you to record these conversations.

    Cleat. Bwahahahahahahaha.

    ReplyDelete

  38. Cleat, clit, eh really just minor differences in definition. OMG, hi.larious!

    ReplyDelete

  39. It's hilarious the things that guys come up with to describe that time of the month!
    And I'm going to say that the pronunciation of ea x i is really hard! My Brazilian ears can't tell the difference! Let's say my husband always gets a good laugh when I say "let's go to the b*tch" or buy some "pitches"...

    ReplyDelete

  40. My Lady Doctor's name is Dr. Moses.. yep... lots of jokes have been made.

    ReplyDelete

  42. hahahahahhahahahahaha the last is the greatest

    ReplyDelete

  43. omg clit and moses. I LOVE HIM!! and you guys together

    tell stephen i might buy moses tampons. thats a stellar description of what he calls lady time hahaha

    xoxox

    ReplyDelete

  44. Seriously laughed out loud reading this! I had to lie to my grandfather when he asked what I was laughing at! I don't know if he would've found "clit" and "Moses tampons" as funny as I did!

    I love these posts!!!

    ReplyDelete

  45. This may be my favorite one! Perfect every time!

    ReplyDelete

  46. blogging about St. Paddy is certainly close to telling the entire US. so thanks for that public service announcement.

    ReplyDelete

  47. OH DEAR! The US would not have appreciated that language hehe. I heart you two.

    ReplyDelete

  48. Just let him call them "clits" when he gets over here. And record people's reactions.

    ReplyDelete

  49. Haha! I love this! Whenever I'm on Facebook and talking to my English friends, they always say, "Uh... that's really dirty." And I'm like, "All I said was that I was bummed!"

    ReplyDelete

  50. HAHAHAHA easily my favorite set of conversations yet. I'm dying right now. I will be sharing the Moses parting the red sea to EVERYONE, it's so funny. Don't worry, I will give Stephen full credit for it too. hahahaha

    ReplyDelete

  51. Hey, he can call them "clits" all day long- there will always be Americans running around the U.K. with their "fanny packs"!!
    Love the "Moses Tampons", too. Although I feel like whatever's named "Moses" should be something that gives you a day OFF your period somewhere in the middle... now that would be "parting the Red Sea!"

    ReplyDelete

  52. haha. Do you write them down as they happen? Your memory is amazing. And it is quite entertaining :).

    ♥CheChe

    ReplyDelete

  54. yeah, always a good thing to clear up before coming to the states!

    ReplyDelete

  58. Ahhhhh hahahahaha!!!! The last one...hilarious. I can just see him asking your mom about her "cleats." Ha!!!

    ReplyDelete

  60. BAHAHAH! That last one is my favorite ever.

    And you can tell Stephen that at least one American knows it's "Paddy" - pretty sure my friend's Irish mother would have smacked me if I'd spelled it wrong, haha

    ReplyDelete

  61. never looking at a tampon or that story the same way again. wow.

    i wonder what other Bible stories he can mess with ;)

    ReplyDelete

  62. Ok Farmboy says in South Africa they called them Toggs, not cleats. Apparently Toggs are swim trunks in Australia...

    ReplyDelete

  64. i read these conversations out loud to my hubby and we both laugh hysterically :)

    love the product placement in this picture btw...makes me want to buy all of your necklaces..they are ADORABLE!!

    ReplyDelete

  65. dang it. i was totally going to have a conversation with stephen about clits. well you certainly ruined that for us.

    ReplyDelete

  67. im dying over here! will you and S be over there come september?

    ReplyDelete

  68. i have laughing so hard right now... please let him go into a US sports store and ask for a soccer clit

    ReplyDelete

  69. you never cease to amaze me.

    but this is good news for when we meet. because there isn't anything i like more than inuendos (sp?) & awkward comments.

    ps. moses made a stop through my promised land today. oof.

    ReplyDelete

  70. omgosh. I love your convos! You guys freakin CRACK ME UP!!

    I referenced you a tiny bit and linked back to your blog in my post today. Hope that is ok!

    ReplyDelete

  72. I love reading these conversations, it makes me want to carry a recorder around and try this on my blog!!

    ReplyDelete

  73. Ahahahaha I love it! These sound like conversations in my house!

    For instance, my mom was watching the Dog Whisperer, and I guess the guy says to 'assert dominance' you should spit in your dogs mouth or pee in the yard so they can smell your scent on your territory. Yeah, ok... So she tells my husband this a while ago.

    Well, in December, we got a new dog named Prana, and one day, out of the blue, he announces, "Well, I guess I need to pee in Prana's mouth now." WHAT.THE.HELL. This is how that convo went down:

    Britt: "Um, what the HELL does that mean?"

    Micah: "Well, you know, I need to assert dominance."

    Britt: "You're a sicko!"

    Micah: "No I'm not! It was YOUR mom's idea!"

    Britt: "Erm, no... She said to EITHER pee in the yard or spit in her mouth. Neither of which you will be doing to our baby."

    Micah: "Oh, I thought that was kind of messed up."

    Britt: *Immediately texts mother about sicko husband*
