[Since we started off the week with my husband doing a guest post for his birthday, I figure I'd keep the theme going and just make it 'Men Speak Week'! Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately for the women), I have yet to receive a single photo from a man so unless I get a few good ones in the next couple of days, it looks like Men's Week won't be able to continue through Photo Friday. So c'mon you guys...send in those funny and embarrassing pictures of your wives and girlfriends so you can get your very own Photo Friday!!
Today's guest blogger is Brad. I originally got an email from Brad's wife, Andrea, who wrote to me to confess that she's an annoying wife. This intrigued me so I wrote back and asked if her husband would be willing to share his side...]
My wife Andrea is annoying. Yes, the tables have turned my friends, and it’s time to hear about an annoying wife. My wife is beautiful, funny, and takes good care of me (see how I’m dipping my toe before I just dive right in?), but she also does something that’s really annoying; she makes up songs about everyday tasks. If she’s cooking dinner, it’s a song about what she’s preparing. If she’s taking a shower, the song could be about what her shampoo smells like, and the list goes on and on.
Not only does she prepare these “original” compositions for me, she changes the words of popular songs. Last winter we were shoveling the driveway together, which we have a very large drive way and we live in Michigan so we get a good amount of snow. I was complaining about how shoveling would take us all night (mainly hinting at how I wanted needed a snow blower). Next thing I know, my wife is singing her rendition of “Life is a driveway; I wanna plow it all night long.” I know it’s cute, right? Well, I chuckled at first, but after an hour and being in 10 degree weather with the song on “repeat” it was getting a little old.
I guess since she puts up with my annoying habits like: dropping my dirty clothes in front of the hamper, instead of in, or using 30 drinking glasses and then leaving them on places like the nightstand or coffee table I should just sit back, smile, and enjoy the show.Plus, she’s hot…so annoying what?

Agh! I do the exact same thing, making up songs about everything. I’ll get stuck on a certain song and then just change the lyrics to reflect whatever I happen to be doing at the moment.

Uh-oh. I had no idea that habit was annoying. Guess I better keep my songs to myself.

Ah, dude, that is so cute and sweet. It doesn’t even rise to the definition of annoying. But if that’s the worst of it, you’re a lucky man…..

I’m a man and I do the song thing. Sometimes life needs a song.

My boyfriend does the exact same thing. I ask him to stop and he does for a second, but then he starts up again. He claims he “forgot”

LOL Brad! My 3-year-old also does this.

I think I’m your wife. I do the exact same thing. that must make me really annoying.
Brenda // November 12, 2009 at 11:00 am |
My husband does the same thing with songs, he sings about everything. Yes, it can be annoying but at least he’s not complaining about life and everyday things, but singing joyfully because he’s happy about life or at least trying to make the best of it

I do this to my boyfriend allllll the timeee! I especially like to make our puppy, tibbles, the main character in every song. He’s a schnoodle, and it’s just too fun to incorporate “schnood” into lyrics

I’m even worse…I make up songs about our cats. It drives my husband crazy, but once in awhile I’ll hear him humming whatever song Mavis or Wanda just inspired….

My husband just busts out with random song lyrics that have nothing to do with anything going on at the moment. It was funny/cute at first, but it is just irritating now. He likes hip-hop music and he’ll be “rapping” while we grocery shop, cook, clean the house, watch TV, etc…

Nice post Brad! I think this is funny. My husband and I both make up silly songs which is fun most of the time…..but sometimes when I’m trying to talk to him about something important and serious, something I say will make him think of a song so he starts singing in the middle of the converstation! Usually it’s annoying, but sometimes it does help to keep the discussion from becoming intense.

This is so funny. My husband does it to. It drives me up the walls! EVERYTHING is a song…I can even hear him singing to himself when he’s in the bathroom!

Ha ha, my husband does this too – except he sings regular songs and puts his name into them. Every single song in the world is about him, apparently.

I do the made up song thing. I made up one for our parrot which she sings to this day
My husband gets to be annoyed by me and his bird!
