Wait For It
There's something new that's annoying me.
I hate the show How I Met Your Mother. Last week Jake turned it on as Barney was singing about his suit. My smart son immediately reached for the clicker asking, "Why would anyone watch this?"
"Leave it on," I said. "I want to see how bad it is."
And it was - wait for it - freaking horrible!
And that's what bugs me now - yesterday someone was telling me a joke and in the middle of the punchline stopped and said - "Wait for it."
He then finished the joke, and I purposely didn't laugh.
"Wasn't that funny?" he asked.
"Yeah, but you told me to 'wait for it.' You're a freaking moron and I wasn't going to laugh at your joke."
Perhaps I'm a tad sensitive because I wasted a few hours of my life on that crap during the first season because - wait for it - Robin is hot.
Perhaps I'm just becoming even more cranky in my old age, or I've just finally run out of patience.
Oh well. There's more to worry about, right?
Now I just gave you all something to annoy me with.
Wait for it' is right up there with "okie-dokie."
That is still the one that really makes my skin crawl, and you know who says it more than anyone else?
Wait for it
