domestic horror

[rm]

This morning Patty and I were lying in bed trying to wake the hell up.

I was being a brat about something and she said, "You're mischevious."

"You betcha," I replied.

And then we stared at each other. In complete and total horror.

"No no no. I was not being Sarah Palin," I said.

She starts laughing.

"I just want to qualify that. I wasn't! It was me being all, I don't know, golly-gee-whiz and American, but not Sarah Palin. Ever. Really. Not in our bed!"

Patty continues to laugh at me.

"Okay, if you must know, that came from the Torchwood/Jack part of my brain, which, I get might be something you didn't need to hear, but it wasn't Sarah Palin!"

"I'm so glad, baby," Patty says, continuing to laugh her ass off at me.

I can hear Jack saying that.
Hell, I'm not going to stop saying it. I was here first.
At one point in the 80s I tried to break myself of saying "Hi, how're you doing?," because of a certain right-wing Canadian politician, but I stopped trying, because it's natural to me.

Oh lord. I've been biting my tongue on "Ya betcha" for the last few weeks :-P.

Certainly not in as amusing scenarios as yours though!

Isn't it amazing how quickly a phrase can go viral like that, tho?

Two days from now, it won't matter anymore.

I love reading these little conversations. You betcha. *snort*

I live where "you bet" is the same thing as "sure." Sarah Palin does not own that phrase. :)

still, awfully funny. and cute.

The snippets you share are adorable.

Email coming soon about the phone call - once I find the post-it.

Heh. Yeah, the phone wasn't in the same room as me at the time, so I didn't see the message until we were going to bed.

Sounds more like Jack O'Neill than Jack Harkness.

You maverick, you.

"No no no. I was not being Sarah Palin," I said.

This is me covering my mouth, I'm laughing so hard. Seriously. I may stop breathing.

You've met us. So you know. She's the quiet one. I'm the one who digs myself big gaping holes of embarrassment. We're still laughing our asses off about it.

I know how you feel. After watching Sarah Palin debate, I'm never going to be able to say, "you betcha" ever again...

Nothing like the quickly approaching election to stir up some RAGING hormones, huh?
