Citizen Karam

Usually I post about my little boys. Today's post is about the "big" boy in my house. He's originally from Baghdad. He's actually lived in the U.S. longer now than he lived in Iraq. He thinks he's pretty much mastered the language... and he does ok... until he tries to use common "sayings" or slang. That's where the humor begins. We even dubbed his silly sayings "Karamisms". The other night after a ward adult activity (not the "adult" kind you're thinking... ha, ha) Karam was proud of himself for socializing and making a potential "date" to go to the shooting range with BRAVE Kevin. When we got in the car he commented (in an effort to make me proud of him as well), "See? Your hubby is a butter SOCIAL fly!" I'm so proud! ;) lol Just for fun I thought I'd post a few of the other more "entertaining" things he's said to me (or others) over the years...

*After spending lots of time indoors while visiting my brother and sister-in-law in New York, Karam wanted to get out and GO somewhere. He claimed to be getting "homophobic". (We questioned Dennis since he was the only other male in the house at the time!)

*It drives him nuts when other cars on the interstate don't stay in their own lanes... and "step on the lines".

*Because he is SEVERELY claustrophobic, he had to be "seduced" by the doctor prior to getting an MRI. Mind you, he just gave him "seduction" pills to help take the edge off. ;) (Sedation usually works better... for most people.)

*When we were still "dating", he was a smooth-talker. He told me that he couldn't ever imagine being with anybody else. He said it was like I'd dug a hole and he was just stuck in there forever. "But", he said, "As long as I'm in your hole, I'll be happy."

Anyway, just a few Karamisms I thought I'd post for posterity (and anyone else who needs a good laugh). :D
