My husband has a temper - as most of you probably know, lol! So one of the most surprising things about him is that when he encounters others who are lost in a fit of temper, he has this way of getting them to snap out of it using comedy. It can be annoying, especially when I WANT to be mad, but he almost never fails to make me laugh :-)
For example, when I am mad, I tend to curse a LOT! It's not like word word word word word, bleep! It's like bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep, word! Or maybe not even a word, more like half a word or a sigh of disgust or aggravation. Even though I am swearing, it is rare for me to use religious swear words. I just don't. I find it disrespectful, lol!
Anyway, I was REALLY enraged one day, and James was also in a bad mood, so we were sort of feeding each other in a downward spiral of just general unpleasantness. I'm the one more likely to snap out of that funk, but I just couldn't. I was literally screaming at the kids, and they hadn't even done anything wrong. I think they were breathing too loudly or something.
See? I TOLD you I was enraged...
Anyway, I starting using the religious phrases:
"God damnit! Why the fuck blah blah blah?! I mean really, boys?! Jesus Fucking Christ!!!!"
And at that moment, James found his opportunity to change the tone of the day completely. He looked at me completely deadpan and muttered: "That's called masturbation."
I stopped everything to stare at him in confusion. I mean my anger completely evaporated because I was so confused. "What did you say?"
He shrugged, also much calmer himself now. "You said Jesus fucking Christ. I said that's called masturbation."
I snorted, and then tried to hold back the giggles until they burst from my lips. With one little comment, he managed to make the whole world better :-D
