Funny Hubby

Funny Hubby

He's so funny. As some of you might have already known, I am actually my hubby's swimming coach who pushed him to being one of the fastest swimmers in his unit! Here goes the story.

We've agreed to have a competition tomorrow (or should I say later in the morning), and the one who lose will have to do frog jumps by the pool. I was the one who challenged him.

I could tell he was really uncomfortable with that idea when he sensed my confidence in our conversation. Here's some rough recollections of what we were talking about just now:

Hubby: Serious? But I thought the last time we swam, I was so much faster than you?
ME: Hahaha, well let's just say, we'll see what happens tomorrow?
Hubby: No way, alright we shall see, I know you won't do the frog jumps even if you lost the match.
ME: Zhu (his pet name), I have to say that I'm really confident when I say I can win. I chose this frong jump penalty cos I know I won't lose!
Hubby: *stunned* How come?
ME: Well erm I've been coaching you and observing you for the past few months, and you almost perfect your breaststroke, but I intentionally missed out one technique for you.
Hubby: *avoid topic* OK tomorrow's competition in breaststroke?
ME: What about any styles? Your fastest stroke?
Hubby: That's impossible! Freestyle's definitely faster!
ME: You forgot, I'm known to trash guys, not just 1 or a few, of my age group when I was 14, and my speciality was breaststroke.
Hubby: *really confused*

I went on and on explaining why I can beat him and why he's doomed to lose if he uses the same stroke as I do tomorrow. GUESS what? He's probably partially convinced that I will win! Hahahahaha. We had another agreement that I'll teach him the last technique if he will do his best tomorrow. After teaching him that, I promise he'll definitely swim many times faster.

Frankly speaking, I have really taught him everything I know, and he only needs a few more corrections and practices. It's common sense that I can never beat him! BUT, I'll still win tomorrow, and the last technique I'll be teaching him is still valid.

I've convinced him that I only chose to swim 1/2 lap cos I'm challenging his speed and NOT stamina, cos his stamina is definitely a lot better. Cos speed requires technique. I was lying obviously! But trust me, I sounded really convincing.

Here's how my silly prank will go tomorrow. After we start, I'll stop 1/2 way and run on feet by the pool! Next thing is to dip into the water before he reaches, and start to pant really heavily. You have no idea how evil I'm giggling now as I type this out. Why did I convince him to swim in freestyle? Cos his head will only turn right side for breathing, and I'll be standing on his left! Tatah!

This's what make tomorrow's prank interesting, I'll take pictures and video him under water, swimming like mad. And his reaction when he finishes! Not sure if I'm gonna post it up but, it's really funny judging by the way he reacts to my "confidence".

So the last technique I'll be teaching is, run on your feet! I'll be wondering what kind of lame expression will I see tomorrow when he hears this.

Here's a saying that can benefit you for your entire life:

When you can't convince someone, confuse him.

*Btw, I really was considered a well-trained good swimmer in those days before I gave up after seeing no future in it. But why don't I have broad shoulders? Actually according to proportion, I do you know.

Thanks to my unfortunate size, was told this is a big big big disadvantage in sports like this. But anyway, I still do like swimming a lot cos that's the only common sport where you won't sweat much as there's no need for your body to cool itself down.
