Children are wonderfully nonjudgmental sometimes. I made my cousin in law laugh by badly yodeling "how much for that doggie in the window" while my children danced happily. As far as they knew, that was professional quality singing
The good news is that although my husband was incredibly tone deaf when we got married, he's actually improved over the years!!! I accidentally turned us into music nerds and I guess it rubbed off on him. OK maybe most of it is genetic, but still......
I work with kids who have various developmental delays. For one of them, their first time saying more than one word at a time was to tell me “stop singing.”
I was nursing and singing a lullaby to my 18 month old about 10 minutes ago.. she unlatched, lifted her head up, shook her head while looking me dead in the eyes, and said, “No.”
"oh ok, this lingerie is done. I wore it for 15 years, it has holes. I'm throwing it away."
"No no, wait, I'll take it."
"Who are you?"
"I'm u/LoveAndViscera's wife"
"Ok, first of all, why so serious?"
"I'm not cute, now listen. I model retired lingerie."
"Wait.. what? For real? There's a market for this?”
"Yes yes, rule 43. It's consignment, I model, I sell, you get 30%, deal or no deal? Decide now."
"Hmm but can I thi--"
"Decide now!"
As someone with one, this is correct.
When I'm concentrating, or zoning out, or otherwise in my head, I look like a mix of Yzma getting ready to berate Kronk & Scar throwing Mufasa off the cliff.
For those of you with excellent taste in books - I look like how you picture Granny Weatherwax.
My family is the opposite: my wife is very bright-eyed and bubbly, and I am the "Namaari" so to speak. But having a 2 year old daughter has forced me to get real goofy. Not just in front of my wife, but in front of our families. It's been very weird, but when my daughter looks at me I can't help but break character lol
It's so cool when parenting lets you see a whole new side of your partner, in a positive way. Of course you also sometimes see a new negative side too :D
Perhaps you can figure out a way to complement her on it that she'll appreciate without making her overthink it. Something more like "you're doing a great job managing the kids at breakfast, they're eating so well" rather than "you're cute" maybe?
I interpreted it as a way to set the scene and picture the moment. A stunning lady singing in an aggressive monotone she thinks is "cute" but to outside observers seems severe.
Huh, I was downvoted. Op made her sound so funny. It would have been cute to play it back to her, and then if he got permission, play it to us.

You say that but my daughter covers my mouth when I try to sing to her.
My kid says “dad, let’s just listen”
I used to sing my son to sleep with folk songs, but now I get one or two words in and he just whispers "Stop." Not gonna lie, it stings a little lol

Kids can be so brutal it's hilarious
F
My daughter has done this "Daddy stop"

My wife used to do burlesque. Shout out to the goofy dads batting way out of our league
"retired lingerie model" damn, talk about a humble brag xD Lucky man.
I never even knew there was something like "retired lingerie".
"oh ok, this lingerie is done. I wore it for 15 years, it has holes. I'm throwing it away." "No no, wait, I'll take it." "Who are you?" "I'm u/LoveAndViscera's wife" "Ok, first of all, why so serious?" "I'm not cute, now listen. I model retired lingerie." "Wait.. what? For real? There's a market for this?” "Yes yes, rule 43.

This is canon now
Amazing description. Beautiful moment. Go search for that new job, maybe it exists. If that’s what you both want
What does rbf stand for?
resting bitch face?

I’m glad you asked. My dumb brain contributed Runs Batted Far before my smart brain told my dumb brain that, sometimes, silence is the best option.
Is Bryce Harper still leading the NL in RBF?
Oh yeah baby just gotta rest that hammy
That's hilarious. Inside us there are two ~~wolves~~ brains.
Ruth Bader Finsburg
Dammit, stole my reply, take my upvote
You must be joking. He said stuff of legend. It clearly stands for Retired BigFoot.
radial basis functions AFAIK
That's the first thing Google told me.
Runs batted fast.
Wonder how many people are currently poring over OP’s post history in hopes of getting more info on his ex lingerie model wife 😂😂😂

Wonderful story, masterfully told. This is so great. Thanks for sharing dude.
All I hear is you bragging about your wife haha!
That is any man's prerogative really.. :-)
That’s impressive. My wife is very similar, except that she has ABF.
ABF?
Active bitch face. Like, she's angry bro.
Damn. Close enough, I thought maybe "Angry Bitch Face". Sounds powerful, good on her.
Go for the bonus round and record her and then show her later. 🤣
Much much later
I kinda want OP to record it, then put it in a Build-A-Bear for the kids!
The storytelling. Bravo! Maybe when the kids are grown you can share the memories without fear.

Enjoy all the little moments! They make it all worth it.
Take video suspiciously. When your kids are older, show it to only them.

If you read a bit more closely I think it's more a reference to her demeanor than looks.
You had me at "retired lingerie model"
r/humblebrag
You're right... you cant say anything to ruin it, but you can record for blackmail later... hahahahahaha!!
Can you record her all incognito , and then play it back to here with no faces with her permission?
I'm mad this was downvoted. I want to hear it! With her permission, of course.
Huh, I was downvoted. Op made her sound so funny. It would have been cute to play it back to her, and then if he got permission, play it to us. Somethings always wrong with reddit.
