So he's gone on business for a week and I was picking up the kids after work. We had this conversation in the car on the way home...
Me: What do you want for dinner tonight?
Twin 1: I don't know, sweet cheeks!
Me: Sweet cheeks? Where'd you hear that?
Both twins: Daddy! He said it on the phone!
Me: To who? (fuming. Flames coming out of the side of my face.)
Both twins: To his friend.
Me: WHO?
Both twins: I don't know. A girl.
Since I know we don't use that expression with each other, I
When he calls back we have this conversation:
Me: Hello?
Husband: Sweetcheeksbananamuffinhottub
Me: What?
Husband: Sweet cheeks banana muffin hot tub.
Me: Huh?
Husband: You know, from the Jack in the Box commercials?
Me: Oh. Yeah, I guess.
Husband: Yeah, well that radio commercial came on in the car when I was driving the kids to preschool, and while I was on the phone with Aaron (male best friend since childhood - sounds just like Auntie Erin, female), I said it to him and the kids thought it was funny.
Me: Dude, you're so lucky.
Nice save, husband. Nice save. You may live to see another day.

Oh my. That is TOO funny! Kids are great, aren't they?
How panicked were you, really? Just curious!
I didn't honestly think he was fooling around, but if you know my husband, you know that he has chronic foot-in-mouth disease. He's also a HUGE talker, is constantly on the phone, and knows like, half the city, so he frequently says things that mortify and embarrass me. So I was thinking this was probably another situation like that and had my speech about saying inappropriate things all prepared. But, it turned out to be even more benign than I anticipated.
