A Very Short Post About Sex

Tomorrow is Boo's birthday and we bought her a rocking horse. For two weeks now I've been asking The Architect to assemble it, as I want Boo to open a horse, and not bits of tail, legs and a head. So far, The Architect has ignored me, as he is wont to do.

This morning, as he left the house, I looked at him meaningfully. Boo was clinging to his leg, so I couldn't say it directly, but I needed to make myself understood.

"Tonight you have to... you know..." I said, and I mimed the action for riding a horse.

The Architect looked delighted. "Have sex?" he asked.

"NO!" I said. "You have to make the thing! You know! The thing that goes giddyup?" and again I mimed riding a horse.

He grinned. "Sex! You want to have sex tonight! Okay!"

I sighed. "NO!!! You have to put together the thing!" and I mimed riding a horse, together with slapping my own butt and yelling "Neigh!"

In his dreams
He reached over and slapped my butt too. "Sex it is!" he said.

Looks like I'll be putting the damn horse together myself.

    PMSL!!! I am suddenly having a visual of you doing that dance move involving butt slapping that Beyone does in the "Single Ladies" video.

    Sadly, so is the Architect.

    Hilarious. I'm betting he comes home with a cowgirl's outfit for you.

    Sounds like he was deliberately mis-understanding you. :-)

    Here's hoping you don't get saddle sore, honey. Bet the Architect does though.

    *tears running down face* That is just about the funniest thing you have ever written, and you've written some damn hilarious stuff!

    So, got your spurs and your whip ready for tonight? *wink wink*

    I know what I would be withholding until the rocking horse is assembled. Amazing how quickly these things can be done under such conditions.

    The door will fling open, and he will saunter in, in his chaps, to the tune of 'Rhinestone Cowboy'...

    so if Boo was a boy (which she obviously isn't)  and we were talking about constructing a train set purchased for birthday, then there would be no problem - except you wouldn't be having sex either as Architect will be spending all night making sure the train signalling is working perfectly ...just saying...
