Is That Normal? Women vs. Men

click the button above to go check out this fun link-up :)



This is my first time linking up for Is That Normal? so I'm pretty excited.  This week's edition seemed like it would be really fun.  Along with answering the questions ourselves, we have to get our man to answer them along with us!

I asked my husband Eric these questions while he was getting ready for work.  He seemed a little scared/hesitant when I told him what I wanted him to do, but he participated like a good little hubby ;) 

(after I told him what it was about)

So, will you do it?

.......sure, I guess. 

Okay.

Do I have a choice?

Not really.

Didn't think so.  Well, hurry up.  I gotta leave soon.

Okay, but make sure you give more than a one-word answer!

....okay.  (smarty-pants!!)

1.  Is it normal for 2 men to hug?
Me:  I don't see why not.  It doesn't mean that they are gay or anything.  What's the big deal? 
Eric:  No.  Not really.  (Why?)   We just don't. 

2.  Is it normal to gag on your toothbrush while brushing? 
Me:  I've never done it, but I know people that do.  I guess it's normal if you have a strong gag reflex. 
Eric:  No.  That's just weird. 

3.  Is it normal to wear the same bra daily?
Me:  I don't.  But if you don't sweat a bunch, I could see why some would wear it for a couple days in a row. 
Eric:  I have no idea.  (Seriously?)   I guess not.  I don't know!  (collapses backward onto the bed dramatically) 

4.  Is it normal for grown women to frequently use "like" or "um" while speaking? 
Me:  Not really.  If you forget what you were about to say or are nervous, I can see saying "um" a lot, cause I do the same thing.  It's not really a bad thing unless you use them every other word.  Then it's just annoying.
Eric:  No, you're no longer in high school. 

5.  Is it normal to eat cake batter/dough? 
Me:  I guess so.  I know a lot of people that do.  I don't, though.
Eric:  I have before, I don't know if it's normal or not. 

6.  Is it normal to go commando at work/in public?
Me:  No! 
Eric:  Noooooooo.  That's just weird and not normal.

7.  Is it normal to have long toenails?
Me:  No.  Cut those things!
Eric:  No, you're not a circus freak. 

8.  Is it normal to try on an article of clothing in the middle of the store? 
Me:  No, unless it's a jacket or something. 
Eric:  Not in the dressing room?  No.

9.  Is it normal to tell someone to be quiet or "shhh" someone in a quiet setting?  ie. church, movie theater, meeting, etc.
Me:  If they are being overly loud, why not?  I've done it before. 
Eric:  I guess, yeah.  I've done it before.  

10.  Is it normal to change multiple times before leaving the house? 
Me:  I think it's probably normal for a woman to do that.  I've actually done it myself.  I didn't think I looked "right" in what I was wearing, so I changed until I was satisfied. 
Eric:  Women?  Yeah.  Men?  No.  Women care, men don't.  We wear whatever as long as it doesn't smell. 

alrighty. 

You done?

Yeah.

Okay.  I gotta go.  Bye.  Love ya.(says as he's walking out of the room, not even giving me a chance to respond)
