Mouth Hanging Open

if you know me at all, you know that things can shock me quite a bit...especially when i'm not at all suspicious to certain turn of events or even topics of discussion. my husband has certainly helped me loosen up a bit on the whole shock-value thing. if you know HIM at all, you know he can be brash, especially when hanging out with friends. he doesn't hold back, oh no, not him...especially after a few huge cans of guinness. i've interjected with my ever-so-frequent "JonaTHAN!" in response to some comments he's made in efforts to balance his free-spirit with my slight prudeness. i've had 5 years of brashness and me reacting to it to help me cope when someone says something totally...uh...RAW. well, i'd say what happened tonight suddenly tops my list. so i'm having a casual phone conversation with my father-in-law (keep in mind the info i shared about my husband). as i'm sharing anecdotes about his son's recovery from hernia surgery, he connects to what i'm sharing and tells about a similar situation that he experienced. next thing i know, he's telling me about a dropped testicle and all the details that go with it. i don't care how well you roll with the flow, the sound of a record being scratched was all i heard after "testicle" and then the crickets took over. hey, before you get the wrong idea, i'm not trying to judge, more power to you if you feel free to express yourself! i guess, in that respect, i envy my husband & father-in-law...boy that personality trait would sure come in handy with people that really ticked me off!!!
