That's not the real reason that you have been so busy! I have it on good authority that the Mankini shopping for Mr. NateBenMa is not going so well! Apparently the Mr. is not fond of the Red White and Blue color scheme of the Olympic Stormalong Bay Synchronized Pool Tube Team uniforms and he is holding out for the lime green color he saw in the Mankini catalog.
Please tell your domestic diva that we here on the Official, Olympic, Stormalong Bay Synchronized Pool Tube Team take our fashion responsibility very seriously and it's going to be red, white and blue or he is off the team (unless he is buying the drinks)! If he wants to rock the lime green mankini he can do that on his own time. Perhaps you can appease him with the knowledge that the wearing of the mankini is just not limited to poolside. Common household chores like dish washing and cleaning the gutters can be accomplished while he rocks his favorite lime green mankini. You may even be able to get him to help out with undesirable chores like grocery shopping by promising if he goes to the store he can wear his favorite outfit!
Keep in mind, as you are in the midst of this fashion tussle, that you may be dealing with a husband who is a trend setter. All it takes is one brave soul to start wearing a Mankini everywhere and before you know it all the other Mankini lovers will start to appear. Just think! One day we might even have "Mankini Mondays" at the office! BTW, Mankinis are totally appropriate for the office because everybody knows that they are all business in the front and party in the back! Casual Fridays are starting to look really passe, right?
Dee, I don't envy you as you try to get through this clothing crisis with your husband. It may help to tell him that the Olympic committee has decided to go with clear tubes for the competition. With those clear pool tubes, the red, white and blue Mankini will really show off his assets a lot better so at least there is that!
I hope that you will stand your ground and convince Mr. NateBenMa that being a part of the Olympic Stormalong Bay Synchronized Pool Tube Team is totally worth any fashion sacrifice he may have to make.. Failing that, ply him with Sunken Treasures until he finally agrees and while he's toasted get him to agree to booking a 2017 Disney trip. I think they call that killing two stones with 1 bird, or something like that, which is pretty much what wearing that Mankini is going to do.
