Conversations with Seth... He's one funny man:)

Recently I have found myself crying I'm laughing so hard at Seth....

WARNING: THIS WILL PROBABLY NOT BE FUNNY TO ANYONE WHO DOESN'T REALLY KNOW SETH

Last night while watching the oh so amazing show '24' (we watch it after online) I see a HUGE BLACK SPIDER out of the corner of my eye...
Me: Ah, babe, look! Go get it
He looks
Seth: Oh man! No, lace! I hate those things.
Me: We can't let it go! It could get in Mason's room!
Seth: AAGGGHH!!! I can't handle the "squish" sound they make
Me: Oh be a man! Go get it!
He begrudgingly got up almost moping as he walked towards the spider as I asked him to use a paper towel, not my shoe (like he usually does)
Seth: WAIT! Do we have RAID?
He proceeds to look in the closet
Seth: "AH HA! YES"
Then he sprays the spider, waiting for it to fall without having to touch it, then wraps in up slowly without "squishing it" and says
Seth: Sorry, buddy, she made me do it

I then almost died laughing. Why it was so funny I have no idea? but it was:)

Then this is us two nights ago... again watching some TV. As I'm folding laundry, Seth pulls out our computer chair, sets it in front of the TV and begins to swing his arms and such.. mind you without saying a word or explanation.... I ignore him. Then he gets up and starts doing these old man stretches (no offense)... I mean full on body swings, turns, and bends. I couldn't help it anymore:)

(let me give you a tiny back story... Seth hurt his back over the holiday break and ended up with no range of motion in his neck. So, he's been going to a chiropractor... we got the feeling they were trying to hose us and do a little more than is required. Our insurance only covers 20 visits and they have this elaborate plan for like 38 plus adjustments and 12 massages... He's a little bit of a push-over and has got us in trouble with situations like this before by just doing it so he doesn't have to ask questions (sorry honey, it's true, I love you) so after our $1,600 dentist bill last time I decided to nag him about this and not let it get to that. "Only the twenty visits dear" I've continued to tell him. He actually agreed!)

okay back to the weird stretches in the living room

Me: what in the world are you doing?
Seth: Stretching!
Like I was stupid for that not being obvious...

He then explains how if he stretches like this and turns like that to warm up the spine and then lays down with his back arched, it will cool down like that and then when he gets up it stays??!?!? I think that's what he said?:)
Me: what?! Did they tell you that?
With a very serious face he says
Seth: No, I read it on the wall while I was waiting... I can't wait for them to teach me. I only have twenty visits.

ha ha ha... I laugh just while writing it! This is probably not funny to anyone one else but it had me rolling. I LOVE YOU DEAR!!! Way to be a thinker! :) Anything to save a buck... that's my honey:)
