Too funny not to share

So I'm pulling together all the addresses we need for the wedding stuff. A while ago Jordan's mom sent him a word document with all the addresses in it. I never looked at it, cuz he went over his side of the guest list with his parents and then gave it to me. Poor decision on my part. I'm looking at it now, and there are a whole bunch of addresses/people on here I've never met or even heard of. So I ask Jordan to come down and go over it with me so I can get this squared away. This is the conversation that ensued:
Me: "Is this Aunt Margaret?"
Jordan: I have no idea.

Me: "I thought we weren't inviting the Benders?
Jordan: I have no idea.

Me: "Go away, you're useless."
Jordan: Well I don't know why you asked me.
Me: "IT'S YOUR FAMILY!"
Jordan: I don't know the addresses.
Me: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink:

I could not stop laughing at his last comment. OBVIOUSLY I don't need their addresses, I'm looking right at them! I need to know if these people are going on the guest list or not (which if they are, might be a problem)! OY!

You know, they only pretend to be clueless so they can get ot of doing any work.

That is too classic!

Too funny... Guess its a good thing that the women plan the wedding.

Just take over. He's playing dumb because he doesn't really want to do it. And that's fine, since you're going to be so much better at it anyway. Just make sure that you order extra invitations, so when it turns out that Aunt Margaret WASN'T invited, you can dash one in the mail to her.

Hahaha so true Chels! I'm calling his mom tonight to straighten it out.
I did ask him for specific addresses that were missing, and he got on those right away. So I can't complain too much I guess, lol.

LOLZ! What a doof!

Ha. They are pretty useless sometimes, Col.

Sunday morning, on way to see 95yo Grandma for lunch ---

JEFF: I need to take my truck in to get the oil changed.
ME: Okay.
JEFF: Today.
ME: Okay.
JEFF: Before we go to Grandma's.
ME: Okay.
JEFF: Do you know where that coupon is?
ME: What coupon?
JEFF: The one that came in the mail from the oil change place.
[Mind you, Jeff always gets the mail before me, and it's usually in, oh, 5 or 6 diff places at the house depending on where he dropped it that particular afternoon.]
ME: No. Sorry.
JEFF: Well, I have to find it.
ME: Okay.
[J. scurrying around in his different piles looking for said coupon while I hover to side waiting for his direction on where to look]
JEFF: Y'know, I'm not paying 30 mfin' bucks for an oil change when I have a coupon here somewhere!
ME: Okay.
JEFF: You might as well sit down 'cause we won't be goin' anywhere for a looooooong time if I can't find this coupon.
[I sit down in the living room.]
[Jeff continues to scurry.]
JEFF: You don't think it'd be nice if we were BOTH looking for this coupon?
ME: You told me to sit down.
JEFF: Well, I meant don't get in a hurry to leave yet.
[I get up from couch, walk into his office, pick up a receipt from previous time has taken truck/car there, and find 6 different coupons on back. I take these out to him.]
ME: Here.
JEFF: Where'd you find these?!
ME: On your desk in the office.
JEFF: Oh. Well... it's not the SAME coupon, but I guess it will work this time.
ME: Sigh.

Seriously though, with the ridiculous mothers-in-law and thier need to invite everyone they ever knew. If he can't remember if it is Aunt so and so or the butcher's wife... No invite. Weddings aren't cheap. But little old ladies are. They just want the free meal and socialization.
Did I ever mention I am a tough love kinda gal?

OMGosh girls - hilarious!

No, actually his mom is awesome Heather. And she's told us many many times that we can invite or not invite whomever we please, as it is our wedding not theirs.

But just the same, I would like to know who the people are and if his parents expected them to be sent an invitation. I have a feeling these are people that she wants to just know that we are getting married, and don't need to be invited, and thus a wedding announcement will suffice instead of an invitation.

Jordan is also EXTRA useless when he decides he can't be of help, even if he can. Which, I think was what happened in this case. He knows darn well if that is Aunt Margaret or not, lol. He just didn't want to be helpful, so he feigned ignorance.

LA, woman, I totally feel your pain. LOL!

I told ya Col..Just tell Jordan what time to be at the wedding and to the rest yourself..I'm sure he won't mind lol
