something
Big A is forever telling me to not say certain things on the road.
Don't call me dear.
Don't gasp or shout; I'll think there's a deer.
Although these are paraphrased (and he claims he's never said the first one), these are the basis for this tale.
We went to the Husker game last night. Scratch that - we worked at the Husker game last night. We helped his aunt (and her church) sell backrests as a fundraiser. Big A has done this most of last year & all of this year so far. He loves it. You sell backrests until kickoff, then you watch the game, and pick up the rests after. You're there 90 minutes before game time and for about an hour or so after the game. And you sometimes get leftover food (Runzas and hotdogs and popcorn - please fine out what a Runza is for those of you who aren't from Nebraska....it's so yummy!).
Anyway...we went to the game & a few of our friends helped pick up the chairs voluntarily after so (with that help plus our amazing speed) it was done within 30-45 minutes.
To make this long story much shorter, we went to Walmart, Wendy's (for ice cream, of course), and to my in-law's to pick up Moose (oh how I missed my boy!). This is where it gets good.
Please keep in mind this is 1:30am....it's dark out. In the moonlight, on the side of the road, I see her. A doe. A beautiful doe eating on the side of the road.
It registered in my mind (mind you, this all happens really fast). "Oh he doesn't want me to say deer.....oh no!" I didn't know what to say.
So I hollered...."something!" Big A put the brakes on and we missed her as she dashed off into the night.
PAUSE What did I just say??
Something. Wow. Who says that? I giggled for awhile while Big A just said "it worked, didn't it?"
I thought it was funny! But we got home safely and showered and slept until this morning.
This is a Runza. THIS is a recipe for a Runza.

"SOMETHING!"
I feel like we have an "inside joke" now!
HAPPY SITS DAY!
I find myself sometimes travelling along in the car and shouting 'cow' or 'tractor' - and then remember I don't have any of the children with me!
Visiting from SITs by the way. Off to have a root around.
Love it!
Hey...that's soooooo funny!!!!
Thanks for the laugh!
Happy SITS day!
When I was reading it, I totally had a flash of that scene in Tommy Boy with the deer in the the road... But at least you guys missed the doe you saw!
Cheers!
love it!
Congrats on your SITS day!
Hope you have a great SITS day!
I'm here from SITS.
Happy SITS day!
My hubs says the same thing and he gets so mad when I point out the deer, but I'd rather him be mad then hit a deer.
Found you by way of SITS!
Happy SITS day!
Found you via SITS!
happy SITS day.
And the Runza's are the one thing I really miss about my Nebraska ex-bf.
Merry SITSmas :)
Isn't it something how guys are! My husband doesn't like me yelling or gasping either. I swear to you though there have been so many times if I hadn't have been with him and yelled we'd have read ended someone or something, amazes me sometimes how he drives without me without wrecking. haha..
This will be sorta long but I have to share what I did to him once! I guess it was kind of mean but I thought it was funny!
We were crossing a railroad track, he slowed way down and was looking both ways, about the time he got over the middle of the track I made the biggest train horn sound I could make. LOL...........He wasn't expecting it at all and it scared him so bad.
Guess you had to be there but it was so funny at the time.
Have a great day!
Thank goodness you said..well, something!
I couldn't bare a story involving a bambi that didn't end well! =]
My honey hates when I do the *gasping* thing in the car. I can't help it.
And now you got me craving Runza! Everytime we go back home, that has to be one (or 2) of my stops! Yum!
Happy SITS day :)
That is so cute! My husband always tells me not to yell things and scare him, too!
"SOMETHING!" hahaha That is awesome!
I yell "Deer" and my husband always gets mad because he thinks I'm calling him "Dear." Excuuuse me? When have I ever called you Dear???
Men...
Happy SITs day.
Happy SITS Day!
Visiting from SITS! <3
Happy SITS day! :)
Love that you shouted "Something!"
Came over from SITS, happy SITS day!!
(Hey, I just realized I'm a Mrs. S too!) Yay us!
And people make fun of Southerners for eating grits!! I had never even heard of a Runza, but it looks deliciously yummy!
Happy SITS Day!
Oh my gosh - a Hot Runza in Cold Nebraska hits the spot!!! Thanks for posting the recipe, too!!!
Y'all are too funny!
xo-z
Last time we just missed a dear - I shouted "sh-t" and the Oldest said it over and over for a week.
Congrats on SiTS!
Also, I love runzas, although I had no idea they were called that! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Happy SITS day!
And that Runza looks yummy!
- a SITSta
When something was actually coming I can't say anything or I do the shudder or gasp.
Happy SITS!!
And Runzas look delish! Wish I wasn't trying to lose weight. lol
Happy SITS Day!
Very cute...
We're always on the lookout for deer and moose up here. I'll have to remember this and show it to the hubby when he gets home tonight!
Happy SITS day!
Happy SITS day (a little late!).
