War of the Words, Part the Third

So Gary and I were out biking the other day.

“Ow” I said.
A few blocks later I said, “Ow.”
The third time I “ow”ed, he said, heartlessly, “What is wrong with you?”

“It was a little too soon after a termite inspection to hop on a bike. The seat is hurting my pudenda.”

Okay, I know this word, and not as Mom suggested because of the “naughty” things I read. I think it’s from having many bladder infections. At any rate, it sparked another Word War.

“Pudenda?” he mocked, “That has to be wrong.”
“I assure you, it is not wrong. I know my pudenda.”
“There is no such word.”
“Do you have a pudenda? No? Then shut up.” I knew I had him this time.
“I have never heard that word.”
“Really?” I said cooly. “Then bet me.”

And we finally biked home, looked it up, and I was gloriously victorious and he was shamed as a man who is unfamiliar with the pudenda. Victory at Last!

  1. Nothing says “I love you” like barking an annoyed “What is WRONG with you!”I do it to my husband all the time.I think he kind of hates me.
