  2. I want to text this to my husband, but he’s on a doctor-ordered blood pressure monitor……(still thinking it might be worth it).

  4. Note to self… when answered needed quickly text wife “do we have”: fire extinguisher, lightning rod, life insurance, burial plots, guns…

  5. I gave my sister a fire extinguisher for Christmas three years ago and I think she was kinda “Wha?”. On my bday a couple of days ago she returned the favor. I got a fire blanket. And a carton of clove cigarettes!

  6. I got a very speedy response to a “where is the circular saw” text to my husband.

  7. Sometimes people just want to know these things. Like if there’s a fire extinguisher.
    It was all completely innocent, I’m sure.

  9. Reminds me of my sibling calling me about googling “What to do after catching a skunk in your live trap?” You didn’t have a plan when you put the trap in the garage???????

  10. This reminds me of a friend, who since divorced her husband because lack of communication was a big factor. Anyway, she called and texted her husband that the kitchen was on fire. He told her to fix it herself, thinking it was just a small fire-like something caught fire on the burner. He came home to half the house gone. He said, “What the hell? Why didn’t you tell me?” She pointed out that she did.

  13. I’m in awe of you with the 81 unread text messages. I wouldn’t be able to sleep knowing those were sitting there. You are made of stronger stuff than I! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

  15. Sometimes you need a fire extinguisher text to get a spouse’s attention.
    lol!

  16. Reminds me of the time my dad gave me a knife to cut some foam. I got a blister from holding the knife wrong, and my dad was very concerned when I went back to him asking if we had bandages

  17. It is a reasonable question. However, knowing you he should call you right back. I love you Jenny, please provide context. You put a smile on my face.😁❤

  18. Yeah, kind of like when I ran into the kitchen and yelled, “Fire extinguisher!” because a stack of washcloths had caught fire in the bathroom.

  21. Left my precocious 5 year old with his wonderful babysitter. Got home late, husband takes the sitter home—kid comes downstairs and calmly says to me, “I seem to have misplaced my flammable liquid.” After I quit screaming, he explained that it was “pretend flammable liquid.”

  22. Did you have another trash-fire-shower???

    (Surprisingly, no. I just wanted to know because a friend had a kitchen fire and it made me wonder. ~ Jenny)

  23. Just coming to say that rags soaked with stain will catch fire if left outside in the sun Marcy to the house. And that if you’re on crutches when this happens pray one of your kids is home to help.

  24. In high school my boyfriend was over. No one else was home. I was on the phone. He came in the room and said, where would I find a pitcher to fill with water? I hung up. He had put incense on a glass plate which broke in half and started the couch on fire!

  25. I think I speak for everyone here when I say we all want to know what in good heavenly days happened that spurred such a question to be asked. Also I cannot even count the times I’ve scared the dickens out of my husband.

    One time when my husband was on a business trip I thought one night I was going to be a hobbit-y nerd and watch lotr, but nature had other plans. I walked downstairs to the garage to finish some laundry when all of a sudden I glanced over to one of the walls in the garage nearby our washer and I kid you not… there truly were roughly 30 baby BLACK WIDOWS crawling along a web connected to another wall near me and they started to march their way up to the ceiling like harbingers of doom.

    I screamed bloody murder, overwhelmed with the sheer level of horror my eyeballs were witnessing, and grabbed a squirt bottle of vinegar and drenched the spiders and corresponding walls. They died… eventually. The big massive scary black widow mama spider was lurking behind the washer, and I sprayed her too. Minutes later when I came back up stairs my husband called. I picked up in between hysterically scared sobs (I’m extremely afraid of spiders especially black widows). He was like WTF and I was like 😢😢😩. In between hiccups and stuttering he began to understand what had happened.

    I refused to go back in the garage until he came back home a few days later. Nature only attacks when he’s gone-I swear!

  28. My son got a quick response when he texted “do you know my blood type?”
    I didn’t. Is that something a parent is supposed to know?

  29. One day at work I cut myself badly enough that I thought I would need to get stitches. Texts (call me, please) and calls to my husband were ignored, until I texted ‘Shannon is taking me to the hospital, I might need stitches.’ 🙄

  30. Mickey, I didn’t know my daughter’s blood type either. It seems like it’s something you don’t know until you need to know it. She finally found out when she was 22 and donated blood.

  31. After searching his medical records (and not finding it), he responded to my question of why he needed to know. Turns out he and his friends were just researching which blood types mosquitos like best. I suggested he lead with the important information like that next time he had a heart-stopping question. Still don’t know his blood type, although he probably does since he has donated blood.

  34. 🤣😂🤣 This sounds so similar to the relationship that I have with my husband. I love it!

  35. This is similar to the time I texted my husband, “Do we have a vacuum cleaner, and if so, where is it?”
    In my defense, the only carpeted area in our house is the converted garage, but still not my most domestic moment.
