Tilly & Hub in happier days, when she was smarter than him.
A conversation:
Me: I bought milk from Farmfoods. A pound each, but on offer at two for £1.80. That’s 90p each. I did the maths for you because I know how you struggle.
Hub: I didn’t realise you’d borrowed my calculator.

The most dreadful realisation came upon me: I had no comeback.
I need a break at the funny farm.
Strangely, the Hub agrees with me.

I am a little fat. I like food; what can I say? I have dull hair: mousey. I don’t wear much make-up and have no need of a dressing table. If I look like a bag lady, I chose my own clothes. If I look nice, the Hub picked them for me. Despite all this, I am a little vain. This photograph is from 2003. I had to go back that far to find one of me that I liked. But I don’t really care: my husband still thinks I’m beautiful and if he doesn’t, he loves me enough to lie about it. I’m lucky. I have two boys. They never lie to me. Still, you can't have everything.
SHOW ME THE WORLD!!

Awww. This had me chuckling! Nice comeback!
He’s too quick for me
The Hub can be brutal when he wants, wow. I stink at comebacks so I would have been speechless. A break to the funnyfarm (spa getaway) would be nice, I’m tempted at times.
I don’t think that’s the kind of funny farm the Hub had in mind…
oh dear, lol.
Everyone is funny sometimes – even husbands.
Sadly, that’s true.
Somewhere there exists a book called “Snappy Comebacks to Stupid Questions.” I bet you could edit those to work for you! Great picture, by the way — you two make a nice couple!
Thanks
I think you are hilarious…if that helps?
Stroking my ego… I like it
He’s a quick operator, that hubs of yours….
Annoying, isn’t it?
What a lovely response…nothing like a verbal chess game played perfection…congrats to the Hub!
Oh you men always stick together!
The perfect comeback? Throw the calculator at him.
Now that really hurts…I swear I didn’t need one
Oh yeah? always seems to work for me. (Nice pic of you both.)
Haha.. my husband will also do the same if I can save for him
and sometime he will say; ” wow… you are smart now!”
Husbands are really annoying.
Oh this is so familiar to me!
Priceless …. maybe you should both make a short visit to the funny farm. Great photo of you two – it looks like you both are up to something … *smile
Just about to have a good time at a 21st birthday party
You’ve obviously been a really good teacher, he has learnt well from you. You just need a holiday, Tilly, and you’ll be right.
I’m hopeless at comebacks. Actually, I’m hopeless verbally, full stop. When I’m asked the question if there is any talent I’d love to have, my answer – besides being able to make money from my looks alone (insert pathological hysterical laughter) – is that I’d love to be a great wit.
I’m okay on paper but hopeless on the spot
it is sad to me when i realize how much i rely on computers, when i try to do it on paper, my mind goes blank, hehe
I hear you… feeling a bit depleted myself… Might be time to take 5.
Good advice
You were being polite and letting him think he was winning. Right? Of courese you were!
How dare he agree with you, Tilly?? He’s getting very brave.
