Dork Files

My husband is one of the smartest people I know. He writes computer books, creates software, makes iPhone applications, knows random stuff, has an answer for everything...he's just got a super great brain. He's also real cute and loves me, so I married him. It was a wayyy step up for me. In the deal he got someone who really appreciates that he's extra humanly smart, can boost his ego every day, someone nice and funny, nurturing and other good stuff I hope, but just...not that smart. So I'm constantly having him solve all of my technical issues and using him as my own live-in, walking, talking wikipedia. This morning when trying to figure out why my iPhone won't do this or that and how do I make it do this or that- he had answered a series of, oh, I don't know how many questions when he finally takes a deep breath and says, "Honey, I can't be THAT essential to your existence!" I scowl of course and tell him, "too bad, you are, deal with it!"

So... later after he has gone to work I couldn't find my phone. I knew Rob and I had been looking at it together when he was answering all those questions for me. I was trying to remember where it was and when I couldn't find it, I figured I'd text him, you know, to ask him where it was. Uhhhhh....processing kicking in here....yeah, see....I couldn't do that because, um, well, I didn't have my phone. Mmmhmmm, that's that not so smart thing about me that I have going on. (That and that 5 kids have really done some serious damage to my brain power. And I recently entered my forties...oh, I've got all kinds of excuses)

Anyways, since my hubby is so dang smart, I am constantly looking for ways to stump him, outwit him, know something before him, find something he doesn't know, or my heck, just prank him because he usually is unprankable, unstumpable, unoutwitted, and knows the punch line to every joke before I can deliver it!

Yeah, I italicized usually because today I GOT him!

Once I found my phone, I thought I'd send him the text I thought of anyways. Just to see if I could catch him off guard.

Here's the exchange:

Me: "ROB! Where's my phone??? U had it last!"
Him: "Check my table. I think u had last. U showed me u couldn't publish YouTube, I looked, and handed back."
Me: "Dork! GOTCHA!"
Him: "Huh?"
Me: "I texted you from my phone, duh! Dude, are you serious?"
Him: "Oh yeah...I feel dumb!"
Me: :D ahhhhh, totally made my day!"

LOL for the day goes to him! Oh yeah, it's gonna be a good day! :)
