A little Christmas humor from my father...

Jokingly, the other night my father said that I should ask for one of my testicles back for Christmas from my stbx. I know he meant it to be funny, but it stung a little bit. I had to wonder if I had given up a part of my manhood in order to "keep the peace" over the last few years of our marriage.
I, of course, laughingly fired right back that my testicles were still mine and in fine working order, and his grandson in the other room was living proof.

I have to admit, it felt good to laugh; there's been little enough of that in the past few weeks. :)

Making an effort and "keeping the peace" is a sure sign that your testicles are right where they should be.

Tell your dad that you will make sure that the return of your testicle is in your Divorce agreement :)

Hey buddy, laugh every chance you get, even if it does cost you one of your testicles. Consider it a sacrifice for your mental health. LOL

OMG thats so funny! let me explain why. i worked with a woman for some years..everyone said she kept the boss' testicles in a jar on the shelf of her truck. comes check ride time and the boss goes out with me first. These check rides are to make sure a courier is doing everything according to procedure but also for the boss and the employee to chat. The subject of this gal comes up and big mouth me...I tell him the joke. Next day boss goes out to ride with another fellow, and this guy tells the boss t he same thing. NEXT day the boss comes in with a small mason jar containing TWO shelled chestnuts. He hides the jar in this gals truck. As we are all getting ready to pull out of the building he pulls the jar out and screams "I just want everyone to know I'm taking these back". We all decided it took the biggest balls on earth for him to do that..he got a round of applause for it!

your dad was trying to get you to laugh, and although it stung a bit, you were able to laugh and provide a comeback! way to go!.. it's laughter in the small things that gets us thru the day. so find time, find anything you can to laugh. you can't cry and laugh at the same time...i prefer to laugh!

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
