The other day when I asked my husband to get me an ice cream sandwich, he made a big faux pas ...

Momlogic's Annie:

The other night -- after I worked all day, took the baby for a three-mile walk, fed her, bathed her and put her to bed, I sat down to watch TV. I had already eaten my semi-healthy dinner but I popped a bag of low-fat microwave popcorn and happily watched the latest episode of "Making The Band 4." A similar ritual happens nightly.

When I finished my popcorn, I asked my husband to get me a low-fat ice cream sandwich. In what seemed like slow motion followed by a needle on the record, he said, "Didn't you JUST have a bag of popcorn?" Although he did have a point, it really pissed me off. It has taken me a lifetime to figure out what and how much I can eat in order to maintain my not-so-great but not-so-bad figure. Plus, doesn't he know you have to have sweet after salty?

Husbands commenting on what their wives eat should be illegal. There really is nothing good that can come out of it. For example, in this instance, I argued with him from the other room for saying such an insulting thing (even though it was true). I then told him NOT to get the sandwich -- that he ruined my treat. I, of course, was happy when he told me he was already getting it ... but felt completely stupid that I wanted it. Then I ate it anyway while huffing and puffing furiously. Basically, his comment had driven me to act like a lunatic.

I do think I scared him into shutting up for a while. And, I do think he was sorry. I believe he was genuinely surprised that I was still hungry -- which, let's be honest -- I wasn't. I'm confident that he won't say anything like that again. It's been a whole year since he said "Whoa!" in a bad way when I asked him how my butt looked in my skinny jeans that -- by the way -- are still on the shelf.
