Does this man look paranoid to you?
Sometimes something happens and you know it will be a family story forever, and a word or phrase will instantly enter your families lexicon.
All we had on the agenda today was to watch our hometeam, the Chargers, beat lose to the Patriots. Thankfully that was something we could accomplish while lying on the couch, wrapped in blankets, fighting off the fever/chills/ache/vomit virus that is sweeping through the house.
So, as some of us watched, and some of us dozed, Mr. Fix-It opened the refrigerator to get a drink. Social Butterfly Someone had recently retrieved an iPod that was in time-out in a wooden box I keep on top of the fridge as a cell-phone/iPod prison. (It's my teenage version of the naughty step). Social Butterfly Someone had replaced the box so that when Mr. Fix-It opened the fridge the box, and its contents, came crashing down on his head.
As anyone would have, he yelled out. It is what he yelled out that has puzzled us all. "Sabotage!" Sabotage?! @*%$@ or *&%@ or %@*# we would have understood, but sabotage?
Hee hee! Sabotage! LOVE IT!
We have words/phrases that appear out of nowhere and tend to stick around far to long, too.

That's funny!! Maybe the emotions and all of the football game plus the illness running rampant through the house just got to him and the box on the head was the final straw!!
Who knows what men are thinking some days....good luck trying to figure that one out!! (If you find out what was meant by "Sabatoge", do let us know!!! )

Sabotage! I think it will replace the old Seinfeld call to arms that was "Serenity Now!!"

Thanks for commenting on my blog. SABOTAGE! That is hilarious. So something that would come out of my hubby's mouth! Sorry to hear of your two friends fighting cancer. NO FUN as I am WAY TOO Familiar with. However, we have to love life, stay the course, and LAUGH our way through the day to stay sane sometimes.
KEEP BELIEVING

Sabotage? I'm going to steal this. It sounds much more sophisticated and intriguing than "damn it to hell!"
