Just when you need to be sneaky!!
The Cuckoo Clock
The other night I was invited out for a night with " the girls". I told my husband that I would be home by midnight, " I promise! " Well, the hours passed and the margaritas went down wayyy to easy.
Around 3 a.m. a bit loaded, I headed for home. Just as I got in the door, the cuckoo clock in the hall started up and cuckooed 3 times.
Quickly, realizing my husband would probably wake up, I cuckooed another 9 times.
I was really prod of myself for coming up with such a quick witted solution, in order to escape posible conflict with him. ( Even when totally smashed...3 cuckoos plus 9 cuckoos totals 12 = MIDNIGHT!!)
The next morning my husband asked me what time I got in, and I told him " midnight ". He didn't seem pissed off at all. WHEW! Got away with that one! Then he said, " We need need a new cuckoo clock."
When I asked him why?, He said, last night our clock cuckooed 3 times, then said " Oh, Shit ", Cuckooed 4 more times, cleared it's throat, cuckooed another 3 times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, and then tripped over the coffee table and farted.
