nut·y, adj.: crazy or eccentric
To give you an idea of our very functional family, I thought I would use the definition of "nutty" I found in the online dictionary.
nut·y, adj.:
1. Having the flavor of nuts
2. informal or slang terms for "mentally irregular"
Hmmmm.... "mentally irregular." I think that pretty much describes us.
Here's an example: Mr. Nut works out every single morning before work. He tries to pack his gym bag, complete with workout and work clothes, the evening before, but this rarely happens. So at 5:25am, I usually hear him scrambling around the room in the dark looking for his things. This morning he called me on the way from the gym to work, as he always does. Our conversation went like this:
Mr. Nut: Do you have a pair of grey pants?
Mrs. Nut: Uh, yes. Why?
Mr. Nut: Are they pinstriped, with a wide-legged cuff?
Mrs. Nut: Uh, yeah. Where are you going with this?
Mr. Nut: Well, I am wearing them. I accidentally grabbed them and I don't have time to come home and get another pair.
OK, so most "mentally regular" people would leave the gym IMMEDIATELY upon finding out that they only packed their wife's pants, and high-tail it home to get an another pair. Not Mr. Nut, no sirree. He proceeds to wear MY PANTS.... to work.... all day.
And he is crazy if he thinks I won't send an email to his co-workers, making sure they don't let him live this down. Ever.
UPDATE: Email sent. Co-workers are pulling out all the stops. It won't surprise me if all the men come to work tomorrow wearing women's clothes... just so Mr. Nut doesn't feel alone.
UPDATE part deux: Co-worker sent picture. Classic. Is it wrong that he almost looks better in my pants than me?
