Dumbest things we (mostly Heidi) said in 2013

I forgot to post this earlier in the month -

After deciding that if we were to write a traditional end of year letter to update our friends and family on our lives we would bore them into a winter slumber, we've decided to use this forum to let others laugh at some of our favorite exchanges of 2013. Hope this brings cheer and thankfulness that you are smarter than Heidi.

Scene: Listening to an artist Ryan loves, Gary Clark Jr.:
R: What do you think of him?
H: I don't like that instrument that sounds like Lenny Kravitz.
R: You mean the guitar???

Scene: St. Mark's family retreat, sitting with 5 year old twins:
H: I can't get over how much they look alike!
R: ...
H: I mean, I know they're twins, but still.

Scene: Phone call - Ryan at home and me out running errands:
R: Hey honey, where do we keep the cheese?
H: The what?
R: The cheese.
H: Like mozzarella and cheddar? We keep that in the fridge. In the door that says 'cheese'.

On a related note...
Scene: Getting ready to host a gathering:
H: I think I'll go cut the cheese...
R: (Uncontrollable laughter)
H: What?!?
R: You know that's a slang term for a bodily function, right?
H: It is not!
R: Take a poll when they get here and we'll see.
Turns out 'cut the cheese' is, in fact, a slang term for a bodily function.

Scene: While momentarily watching the celebrity diving show, "Splash":
H: That guy looks like he should be a basketball player.
R: He's only the all time leading scorer in NBA history.
H: Really??
R: It's Kareem Abdul Jabbar!!!!
H: Oh, I thought he was Louie Anderson's diving coach.

Scene: H leaving for work in the morning:
H: Love you, Boo.
R: Did you just call me 'Boo'? Like 'Boo & Shawty?'
H: Yeah. I'm trying something new.
R: Well, it's not working.

Scene: Watching RedZone:
H: This is an awesome idea - just showing the best parts of the game and none of the filler.
R: Yeah. They're called 'highlights' and ESPN came up with them twenty years ago.
H: Yeah, but these clips of the really good plays are different than highlights, right?
R: No, actually, that's the definition of a highlight.
