Only two reasons why I married the right person.

1. Because my husband, not usually one to pay any attention to silly holidays, gave me a Valentine’s Day gift of chocolates that were in a box made of chocolate, causing me to eat every single chocolate and then the box--and then, smeared with choco-leavings, whoop and yawp as I tore ass up and down the length of our apartment for the next six hours.

2. Because later in the day he grabbed the pink-and-white ribbon that had festooned the box, wrapped it around his head, cried out, “I’m Pretty Rambo!” and then pretended to machine-gun the living room. “I’m so pretty!”

It was quite funny. Especially if you’ve just eaten 37 chocolates.

oh my gosh that is freakin hilarious!

[Weeze]

Third reason: those aren't just *any* chocolates. I got mall chocolate. Sigh.

[Jane]

Those two reasons alone are plenty. I want my own Pretty Rambo to buy me chocolate, but I'll probably have to settle for Drummer Nerd Dude, unfestooned by ribbons, taking me out to dinner. Not funny and there's no chocolate involved, but what're you gonna do?

I just discovered your blog and I loved this story!I'll be back for more.Pretty Rambo! Hilarious.

But here it is.

That's awesome. I can totally picture him doing Pretty Rambo. I still have a faint bruise from when Henry attacked my knee with his train station, by the way, though I consider it a mark of love.

I'm spending my Valentine's Day with Samantha, Carrie, Charlotte, and Miranda.

This pretty rambo amuses me.

awesome. i am going to cherish the image in my head of this misadventure for at least the next twenty or thirty minutes, if not straight through into lunchtime.

[sac]

HA! Pretty Rambo. That is funny shit.

[Mrs. Kennedy]

And here I was, ten straight days without thinking of Rambo. Damn you!

[FabGirlie]

Heee Heee! I can just imagine my ding-dong husband doing much the same. Although his version went something like this:Him: You like zee roses.No?Me: They're gorgeous.Him: Ahagh-haghn-haghn (that's his retarded french accent)Me: (rolling eyes and sighing dramatically)Him: (Plucking a rose and inserting in his mouth.) Shall we rumba?I'll take Rambo anyday.

[part-timer]

"pretty rambo" is hilarious. he sounds like my husband, but funnier.

[Liz]

FabGirlie... Are you sure we don't share a husband? Because my husband does that exact same outrageous french accent. Though you spelled it much more expressively than I would have managed.

Though my husband would never ask me to dance on a whim, so maybe not.

[groovebunny]

You two sound like you have so much fun!

[Very Mom]

There are chocolates that come in a chocolate box? And here I was licking the inside of my plain old cardboard heart box after all the chocolates had been consumed by myself in 2.5 seconds.

[Mia C.]

All I can think is, "That's where adorable Henry must get it" It sounds just like a grown-up Henry.

[melhope]

I think Pretty Rambo would be hilarious even if you WEREN'T hopped up on sugar and caffeine.

[emma]

Laughing till there were tears. Which is why I try not to read you at work.

[DM]

Wow. That sounds wonderful and yet very, very odd.

For Valentine's Day, I went to see Hitch with my two best friends. Nothing says romance like three extremely single women watching a romantic comedy.

my first born had blocked tear ducts and was in a constant state of yellow eyed goopiness. except for when we were in california OR at his grandmommie's house. the conclusion is as you suspect, i am a filthy wretch of a mother who should be shot at dawn.

will you join me?

an aside, how can california have been better for his little eyeballs? how? i ask you how?

[honestyrain]

how did i manage to put that comment in the wrong post? further proof that i am far too pathetic to live.

[R]

I have just one word for Pretty Rambo - awesome.

Way too hilarious!!!

[eddo]

OMW!! That was so funny, the visual is BLOWING MY MIND!!!
