Julie in CA Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Okay...so we finished our little family Christmas celebration tonight, and then I moved on to preparing lunch items for our large family gathering tomorrow. I have frozen meatballs that I thought I'd put in the crockpot, and I have little sandwiches, and a pot of soup, and some of those little cocktail weenies. I don't particularly like the cocktail weenies, but I know they'll be popular with the crowd of about 30 people that will be here for most of the day tomorrow. So, um, I decided that since the weenies and the meatballs both go in crockpots with barbeque sauce, I'd just put them in my large crockpot together. Seemed fine until my littlest dc checked out what I was doing and said, "Mom, now you have weenies *and* balls!!". :001_huh: I looked in my crockpot and saw two little meatballs right on top, with a cocktail weiner sticking straight up between them, and :ohmy::blushing: um...it really does look obscene, and I can't imagine how much unwelcome comedic attention I'm gonna get for this...it didn't occur to me, but my teen boys are beside themselves with the juvenille humor of it all. A whole pot of balls and weenies. Imagine that... So, should I try to separate the two at this point (wouldn't be easy, it's a big batch, and they're all mixed together), or should I let it ride and hope none of my dh's brothers come up with it on their own (doesn't seem possible that they won't, 'cause it's totally apparent and just *waiting* to be commented on!). :leaving: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTMCassandra Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 :lol::lol::lol: OK, as I see it, you have two choices: 1) Separate them and your sons will still tell the story to the men as they arrive and you will hear all of the jokes you don't want to hear. 2) Leave them alone and let the men discover it on their own and hear all of the jokes you don't want to hear. Having said that, I would still separate them, but I think you'd better prepare to hear the jokes anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoughCollie Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I wouldn't separate them. Too much trouble, and you'll hear the jokes anyway. I think it is funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teamturner Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Oh, that is so funny! I say go with it as is and this Christmas will go down in your family history as the "balls and weenies Christmas!" As long as everyone is laid back in the gathering and won't be upset by it. I say laugh with them! You guys might be laughing so hard you start crying or something. What fun! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elegantlion Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 It's 4am and my family is still asleep. I'm having to contain my laughter, that is too much. :lol::lol::lol: :w00t::biggrinjester::blush: Depends on the humor of your guests whether I'd bother to separate. if I thought one of my relatives might seriously be offended I would. They might still hear the jokes, but they wouldn't have to see it. :lol: You've just created the new Christmas classic. I can't wait to hear the "after Christmas" story.

Aubrey Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Nah.

Elisabeth in IL Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 As the only woman in a house of males, I know they would love the unintentional humor of it. I say, don't make more work for yourself just go with it. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jail warden Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 That is soooo hilarious!!! I can't stop chuckling! In my family I'd leave it. But I can see if you have a family that doesn't like jokes that might not do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie in CA Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 (edited) Got any hot buns to add to the mix?:D (You know, for meatball subs? ) No, I thought about serving "rolls" to go with the meatballs though, and decided against it! Now it's morning, and my teen boys are still snickering (possibly even harder than before...) I inadvertently added to the joke this morning. I ran errands on Tuesday, and my sister-in-law asked me to pick up a bag of pistachios for her dh, since it's their Christmas tradition and she forgot to get them on her shopping day. Can you see it coming?.....wait for it...... Yup, you probably guessed. This morning I asked my boys where my nuts were. More gales of laughter ensued, since it came right on top of the "balls and weenies" thing. {smacking forehead} What is it with the slang terms for male anatomy anyway?! :lol: Edited December 25, 2008 by Julie in CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bwhahhaaha!!! ;) I vote for Aubrey's suggestion. And btw, this will become part of Family Lore, so just roll with it. I'm a bit of a prude, but when something is this over the top with teenage boys around, I give up trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube. You'll make yourself ridiculous if you try to separate them. Relax. Let them have their fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janie Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 ...last week, I took the very same combination in a crock pot to our faculty Christmas party. They were a hit, but I think (hope:)) the faculty is too beyond the teenage humor to have noticed. Maybe they were so hungry they only thought food! Thanks for the giggles!

PrairieAir Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 That is freakin' hilarious! In fact, from now on, I think I shall always prepare these two items together. I welcome the jokes. Things like that can help keep you sane while dealing with crazy relatives and gift exchange tensions. I always try to include at least one gag gift along with our Dirty Santa gift exchange items. It really does help keep me smiling and relieve some of that tension that builds when I'm forced to play nice and bite my tongue for too long. Fa la la la la la la!

katalaska Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 on the WTM boards... Why not? Balls and weenies... BooKs and other funnies. You might even have to post a recipe so we can get "Christmas Balls and Weenies" into the Well-Trained Kitchen.

You may make enough money to hire a caterer for your next party. Consult with a patent attorney, you may have a rock hard winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie in CA Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 Well, I spent a half-hour or so last night carefully separating my weenies from my balls. Tis true! My dh came along and just couldn't get past my unique hors d'ouvre presentation, and asked me to do something about it. Now. I do *so* wish I'd taken a picture! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
