Becky: “Do you like my manicure?” (playfully wraggles black fingernails in Daver’s face)
Dave (grabs hand for closer inspection): “Ooooh. Freaky! Won’t Ashley be mad that you had black nail polish put on for her wedding?”
Becky: “Nah. It’s perfectly vogue now. It’s no longer JUST for goth chicks.”
Dave: “Ah.”
Dave (grabs her hand again. This time her right hand, although not unkindly): “Wait a minute…is your wedding ring STUCK ON?”
Becky (sheepishly, in a small voice): “Yes.” (pauses) “I kept in on to long after I got pregnant with Amelia. And now I can’t get it off.”
Dave (eyes take on a mischievous gleam): “You know what this means, right?”
Becky: “Please don’t take me down to the fire station to get it cut off. I’m so ashamed. I HAVE FINGER FAT NOW.”
Dave: “No, no. I wouldn’t do that. And your finger looks great. But…”
(pauses dramatically for effect)
Dave: “You SEE this ring? IT MEANS I OWN YOU.”
Becky: “That’s MY line, assface.”
Dave: “And look at how badly it blew up in your face.”
Becky: “Touche.”

Amelia, huh?
Nice name!
I hope you don’t have to cut off the ring!
My dad just had to get his wedding ring cut off. It was warping his finger in all kinds of bad. My mom can’t get her’s off either, that’s what 31 years of marriage will do to ya.
Amelia is one of my favorite girl names.
My father had to cut 8 rings off my hands when I swelled up during pregnancy. Luckily none of them were really good ones. I love the name Amelia, also. My niece named one of her daughters that, and her nickname is Mimi.
I’ve had two rings cut off, neither related to pregnancy. One, my old wedding ring + guard, stayed like that for years without problems. It was far from an emergency when I got it cut off – it was divorce!
LMAO! Very cute story. And I lurrrvvve the name Amelia!
It is NOT ownership…don’t buy into it lol! Legally it is a contract between two people (in most states a man and a woman). This contract can be broken by either party.
When you think of it like that….it kind of seems strange that it even carries so much meaning don’t you think?
Well all that said…I still feel more comfortable being married. I would rather be married than not married but no one better try to “own”me because I will tell you…you probably already know…no one can control me lol!
The wedding ring thing seems so uncomfortable! And don’t be ashamed of finger fat!
Im gonna let the fat grow around mine what the heck.
typically i can only get my wedding ring on before 9am. after that, i’m just not married that day i guess.
but you, you are stuck until the sausage patty make her entrance.
Kinky. lol Have the boys read the Amelia Bedelia books?
Amelia is a much better name than taco.
…and who owns whom?
I am sure the same conversation is going on in households all across america!
I so own you, boyy. (to mine)
AHAHAHAHAHAHA…dammit! I hate it when things come back to bite me in my ass.
The real story is that they can’t survive without us. Our house and credit rating would crumble around him without me. I don’t think he knows how to operate the washer, dryer or dishwasher. I love him to pieces (lucky for him), but I could survive easier without him, than him without me.
LOL he is so funny isn’t he. Yeah did you slap him up side the head. I would of. Put him in his place girl. LOL
Love the name!
Squeeee!!! I love the name Amelia!
Okay, I got a little excited there. Do you want the ring to come off or are you hold out for after baby is born? My girls are summer babies and I had that problem with both of them and had different solutions to both. Let me know if you need help.
Finger Fat = Ownership.
Got it!
Note to self, avoid finger fat…
I just had to say, I love the name Amelia!!
Oh come on, you know you want to name that kid heather.
Amelia is good – it’s rare enough that you probably don’t know any jackass kids who ruined the name for you.
Amelia! Love!
I stopped wearing my ring this week. It made my finger look like a sausage link…
Amelia, huh? I love it! What will be the shorthand when you’re yelling for her to “Get back over here and put on your clothes NOW”? Meeley, Amy, Lia, Meme, Ahhh? Three syllables is rough when you’re in a hurry to get your point across.
I can’t stand when I eat too much Chinese food and I can’t get my rings off. Makes me nervous. My fingers were nude little sausages during my pregnancy. I saw no need to accentuate the finger fat.
Ah. Just wait.

Amelia..very very cute.
ah, the daver, what a good man to EVEN notice that th ring was stuck.
A certain wild womanl whom we fondly call Beans will share a name with your wee one. Her middle name is Amelia spelled the same. Told you we were twins.

Gah! My ring gives my finger a bit of an irritating rash. I wonder what it says about the strength of my marriage!
Adding my ‘love it’ to the name choice!
Amelia?! I love that name…if T was a girl, that was one of our top choices!
Amelia is an uber cute girl name
I like that he said your finger was fine – hehehe, he knows not to admit to fat even if it’s on your finger
I believe the term is pwned.
Love the name! Finger fat is all kinds of sexy.
Amelia is a great name.
Our ring conversations generally go:
“Hey, are you married?”
“Nope.”
“Me neither.”
“Do you at least know where you ring is?”
“Uh…I think it might be by the kitchen sink. Or the bathroom sink. Or the computer. Or my bedside table. I’m pretty sure it’s at least in the house.”
I love the name Amelia! So perfect for a sweet little girl!
Oops about the ring. Will it really not come off?
I’m chuckling to myself at the idea of you (with your neo-Goth manicure) being taken to the Fire Station by the Daver to get your ring cut off.
Try a little dish soap.
Two thumbs up on “Amelia”.
Own ya, right…No one owns Aunt Becky!
LOVE the name– what a sweet twisted thing to say….
Your Dave = my Dave. Seriously, they could be the same person. We’re lucky ladies, huh?
It’s bad that I still can’t get mine off, huh.
Damn ownership. Might as well brand me.
I LOVE the name Amelia! ::swoons:: Black nail polish is really awesome, too.
Also, if it makes you feel any better, I got a hell of a lot more than finger fat and I’m NOT incubating a cute little bambino.
he he he
