Allow me to refresh your memories. Lolo is the sister who is two years older than me. Baby is the sister who is four years younger than me. Handyman is married to Lolo. He and I are like Mike and Carol Seaver. We give each other a lot of crap...all in jest...but when we have to be serious we can. If you ever meet him...just...he really likes his back rubbed. It's important that when you talk to him you continuously rub his back and call him "babe". He likes that.
Handyman: Ok I'm headin out to pick up ice cream for the kids...you guys want anything from DQ?
Lolo: I'll have an oreo blizzard.
Baby: Mmmmm....I'll take a Heath one!
Me: Uhhh...how about a Peanut Buster Parfait...minus the nuts.
Handyman: Ok so oreo and Heath Blizzards and a Peanut Buster Parfait...without the nuts?Me: Yeah. No nuts.
Handyman: No nuts?? Really???
Me: No nuts.
Handyman: You don't like nuts?
Me: Not on my Peanut Buster Parfait.
Handyman: But isn't that the whole point?? I mean...nuts are IN the title!
Me: I know, but I don't like them.
Handyman: Who do you think you're fooling with that??
Me: What?
Handyman: By getting a Peanut Buster Parfait with no nuts.....you're basically just getting a giant hot fudge sundae.
Me: Noooooooooooo....I'm getting a giant Par-fait.
Handyman: You're getting a giant sundae and you're a girl and you're too embarrassed to just say "Hey pick me up a giant hot fudge sundae".
Me: I'm getting a parfait with no nuts.
Handyman: Are the regular sized sundaes too small for you?
Me: I'm getting a parfait with no nuts.
Handyman: Are the regular sized sundaes not filling?
Me: I'm getting a parfait with no nuts.
Handyman: Do the regular sized sundaes taste different?
Me: I'm getting a parfait with no nuts.
Handyman: You know I have you totally figured out right?
Me: Just get me a parfait with no nuts.
Handyman: I will get you your giant sundae, but I want you to know that I know exactly what you're up to. You might think you're fooling everyone else...but you're not fooling me.
Me: It's not a giant sundae...it's a parfait.

Technically, I think he's right - it's a big hot fudge sundae. But it's served in the oh-so-cool parfait cup, and the soft serve is layered with the chocolate, instead of just pouring it on top.
I like your way better.
So did you enjoy your sundae?
So did you get your parfait? I haven't had dq in years. And now I need to have it. Must find out what the parfait is all about.
Whatever it is, it's making my toes curl. I want one.....
You're BIL sounds like every single one of my hubby's friends.
At least he was nice enough to get you your Parfait with no nuts :)
Great, now I am hungry for a PPB...grrrrr
I wrote about Mother's guilt and hold on to your hat...It has more than one part!!!

I have to side with you, its a parfait
It's not even 7:00 AM, and I could go for a sundae right about now...
Never had a parfait w/ nuts. Sounds kind of like a "dirty" expression too. Ha Ha! Enjoyed your entry and I hope you enjoy mine. Have a wonderful day everyone and take care.

Great, now I am hungry. It's a parfait. Sundaes are layered so that when you get to the bottom you scrape up yummy goodness from the fudge on the bottotm of the cup. Some people just don't get it
Way to start my morning! Craving chocolate! Thanks. ;)
You are so busted ... I usually have your back on everything Mama Kat but methinks you are trying to get a ginormous sundae because the regular ones don't really fulfill you. And did you remember to ask for extra hot fudge? My standard line with any ice cream order is "And add extra hot fudge ... I'll pay extra if I have to." They never add enough hot fudge. Mmmmmmmmm...hot fudge. : )
I like the way you think. Clever!
Dang... now I'm craving DQ. Thanks. Is 7:50 in the morning too early for ice cream?
I love you. But Handyman is right.
And we might have to break up. Because I love nuts.
(that's what she said.)
Nuts or no nuts that sounds good. I think I need to go to DQ today.
I know that's right Jenny all that ice cream talk has got me wanting DQ BAD!!! Love this post:)
anything you want to call it sounds good to me.
Wrote about mommy guilt- come on over and make your self feel better- free of charge today!
That's a crackup--he's definitely got your number! A parfait would be perfect right now.
it's a parfait! besides parfait sounds way better then giant sundae.. it's like sorbet and ice cream..
Maybe it's a giant sundae, maybe it's a parfait. Either way, it still tastes good.
HA! That's exactly how my sister used to order them too. ha ha ha ha ha
I'm with you... parfait is the way to go... but I want the nuts!
Thanks for letting me link an older post.
Hope your day is great.
Great writing prompt! Thanks for posting it! I chose #3 and had fun writing a rant on my blog The Crab Chronicles.
Have a great 4th!
So how was the sundae...err I mean parfait?
That sounds really yummy right now...I need something for breakfast... that works for breakfast right?
That's exactly how I eat my Peaunt Buster Parfaits! I've also had similair conversations with the worker.
That is hilarious. Thanks for the laugh. I have to say when I saw the title I was thinking -that is just a hot fudge sundae isn't it?. But I got ya.
I used to love those with nuts but I am now a paranoid freak b/c my youngest has food allergies. So I would order it without nuts too. I am afraid I would kiss her after eating nuts and she would stop breathing. I said I was paranoid.
You completely slay me Mama Kat!
You like what you like, and he needs to accept that! Good convo.
I hope I get to meet him one day because I would LOVE to rub his back while I talk to him : ) Oh, yes I would. How was your parfait? :)
LOL!
Too funny. He's very pretty :)
With nuts or without...sounds like something I need right about now!!!
You are too funny. But, he is right. It's a giant sundae.
Oh I am so with you. AND I never thought about the fact that the sauce is layered in there so you don't have the giant glob at the top and then nothing by the time you finish the ice cream. Brilliant, I say.
And that no nuts thing? Whenever I go to McDs and order a hot fudge sundae, I ask for it with no nuts. I have yet to ever EVER receive the sundae sans little package of peanuts. I see it on the screen with the little "no nuts" notation, but they still do it with nuts. I suppose it's McDs and I shouldn't expect more, but still....
I've been the opposite lately! For some reason I am constantly in need of a giant sundae..WITH NUTS. Or, you know a Peanut Buster Parfait...whatever you call it!
That sounds good. I hate nuts on my ice cream. BTW I'm an idiot and linked the wrong post so then I had to link again and now i'm taking up two slots. Oh well...
OMG I laughed so hard my stomach hurt and my son now thinks I'm crazy. This could have been a conversation between my hubby and my sister, they have a very Mike and Carol Seaver relationship as well - the family joke is that they fight more like siblings than she and I do. Thanks for the laugh!
So did he bring you back a parfait or a sundea? Very funny conversation, love it!
I hate that I was not smart enough to realize that I could order a peanut buster parfait w/o nuts so that I could get a colossal sundae.
Kind of off point, but if you got to dairy queens website they are sending coupons for buy one get one free blizzards for signing up for their little club thingy. Mmmmm free ice cream!
I LOVE nuts! (hold the parfait)
Mmmm.....sundae.
Mmmm.....nuts. I enjoy nuts.
Now I have a craving.
:::visiting from SITS::: This is hysterical.
I hope for his sake that he brought you back a parfait w/no nuts and not a hot fudge sundae. :)
Y'all are nuts!!!
Your conversation reminded me of a recent one I had with my neighbor.... it all started a few weeks ago when my dear sweet, 89-year old neighbor Ben offended me while I was hostin a lovely dinner on my back patio when he proceeded to get on the old stubborn-man soapbox and go on and on about how he disagrees with young people living together before they're married. Okay. Fine. That is fine. I tried to just let him have his say. But he wouldn't drop it and wouldn't drop it, even when I tried to graciously nudge him in the "dropping it" direction. Until finally I just gave up and went inside and left him to himself on the patio. THEN, I think he got it. Well, then I didn't speak to him in weeks because I felt he was being really judgemental and although I respect our differences I am not hoisting my holiness on other issues onto him or anyone else ... (mostly not!) PLUS, I DID EVERYTHING RIGHT THE FIRST TIME and where did it freakin' land me? Halfway through a torn apart house in the middle of a divorce wondering who the heck I married ... anyways, so what does all this have to do with your recent conversation? Well, Ben apologized to me the other day and it was all very sweet and I told him no problem, water under the bridge and all that, and he said he could tell he offended me, and I just recommended that we not talk about it.
And then he wanted to talk about it some more.
And just like you were like "No, it's a PAR-FAIT without the nuts" I was like, "No, Ben, I REALLY don't want to talk about it." And he kept on with "well, what bothers me is ..." and again I was all "la la la, no I REALLY don't want to talk about it. You're my neighbor, we are just friends, I am not your daughter or granddaughter or girlfriend, so I just don't think we need to talk about this."
Anyhow, I think he finally got it.
It IS a PARFAIT without NUTS, dammit, and I don't want to talk about it!!!!!!!
XOXOX LOVE YOUR BLOG.
p.s. As much as I wanted to put all that on my own blog (see comment above), I think I occasionally have MORMONS who read my blog, bless 'em. I love 'em and that's why I don't want to offend them with my little rant.
