Misadventures with beauty products

This conversation really happened the other night as Husband and I were getting ready to go to his office Christmas party.

Husband walks into the bathroom where I'm applying lipstick and puts on his deodorant. He winces and raises his arms, flapping them about while making more terrible faces and sucking in his breath.

Me: What's wrong?
Husband: God, this stings!
Me: Are you chafed from your long run this morning?
Husband: No, I guess I just scrubbed my armpits too hard in the shower.
Me: (pause) Just using a washcloth?
Husband: No, I used that new thing you have in there.
Me: (incredulously) You mean my pumice stone?!
Husband: Is that what it's called?
Me: That's supposed to be for feet! For scrubbing hard callouses off of feet!
Husband: I was just trying to get extra clean!
Me: Can I blog about this?

"Me: Can I blog about this?"

This is a very common question around our house.

Response? About 50/50. There are some things the blog world is just not ready for, I guess.

Oh god. I'm going to have a hard time looking him in the face the next time I see him. Bless his heart!
