So What Happened?

Thanks all, you are cracking me up, which is JUST what I needed!
I especially like the idea of lifting my top, I wish I would have thought of that on the spot, lol!!!
Gee whiz Toni V, lighten up! I am clearly joking here, where's your sense of humor?

Wear the shirt for an entire week as soon as he gets home. Go out with him wearing the shirt.

Tell him why.

That's the best punishment - make him look at it EVERY DAY!!

Once he regained consciousness I would let him know he is in charge of the kids and I'd be out the door on my way to Macy's.

Start talking about his mother the next time he starts rubbing on you for some lovin'. "Oh, this doesn't remind you of your mother? Let's talk about her. I like when she does this and says that. I sometimes fantasize about her pie. Mmm, can't you just taste it?" I've done this with mine, and he got the message.

(This is actually something that I have done jokingly, btw. Once he got the point, I shut up. I do the same thing when he wants me to stop talking. I just stop and don't say anything to him until he begs me to please talk to him.)

"That looks like the couch you should sleep on."

"I'm SO glad you said that...I've been meaning to get an expensive new wardrobe."

People need to lighten up, you are obviously joking. Sheesh. Obviously he meant it as non-complimentary, or you wouldn't be dreaming of gluing his testicles to his leg.

I wouldn't do anything other than take the shirt off asap and get rid of the darn thing!

My husband likes the clothes I wear, so if he did make a comment like this I would be worried and maybe a little grateful he stopped me from wearing something he thought his mom would wear!!

Hmm...pretty sure you don't want to be going to bed tonight with your Mom - no?

Guess you should keep comments like that to yourself unless you want to practice the fine art of celibacy for the weekend. :-)

Threatening to withhold sex never really stands in our house but it's a great little game. lol

They have no idea what they are saying until it comes out of their mouth and they get looked at like they are an idiot.

I don't have an answer, but loved the responses. The funny thing to me is that I love my MIL's taste in clothes and have discovered that I do wear a lot of things that look like something she would wear. My husband has never said anything about it but my BFF did. HAHAHA so she has been going shopping with me, so that I don't dress like an "old lady."

Woo hoo, he is in big trouble.

One of my favorite marriage stories I ever heard was a Willie Nelson Story.

He said he came home drunk and his wife was not pleased. She had told him he needed to be on time and not drunk.

So she told him, "I think you need to go onto bed." He woke up, sewn into the bed sheet, being beaten with a broom!

They were divorced soon after.
FYI, don't beat him, but I like the wear the damn shirt everyday.. Hee, hee..

AFTER READING YOUR SO WHAT HAPPENED:

It has been my experience that when MOST people are "clearly joking", the words "evil and sadistic" aren't part of a joke.

The term "punishment", to me, is inappropriate when requesting how to deal with a husband or wife. Punishment is what happens to adults and juviniles who commit crimes and/or infractions. Punishment is what happens to naughty children.

So yes, you and I have a difference of opinion when it comes to terms and the difference between a joke, punishment, evil, sadistic etc. The later three which I don't take lightly.

"punishment for husband"......How does husband punish YOU when you are inappropriate?
