Your Inner Grill

Our two dogs were following Manbug around the house - for no apparent reason since he clearly wasn't carrying food in his hands.

Manbug: Dogs, why are you all up in my grill?

Me: Your grill?

Manbug: Yes, my grill.

Me: Coming from someone who I think knows you quite well, I'm 99% certain you don't have a grill.

Manbug: Everyone has a grill.

Me: I don't have a grill.

Manbug: You do. You just haven't gotten in touch with it. It's your inner grill.

Me: Is it charcoal or propane?

Manbug: Clearly, you have a lot of grill learning to do.

So, I'm off to learn about my grill. I can smell the steaks now.

8 Friends Say...:

  1. It makes me nervous when The Hubster sounds like a rapper. I keep waiting for him to come home with spinning rims on his motorcycle or tattooed gun shot wounds on his arms.

  3. Ha!

    My nearly-as-white-as-me own personal husband likes to announce he's coming to our "hizzle", amongst other gems. I don't think people who use words like "amongst" should be allowed near these sorts of phrases.

  4. Bwahahahahaha! That is so funny! When my dog or kid is up my ass, I say 'Back off Betty!' It's really stupid where it came from. I like yours better!

  5. My neices say "Why you all up in my kool-aid when you don't even know my flava?" And their mother is fond of "Why you all up in my cheerios" but I'm a purist and like Man Bug, prefer the grill, no matter what type of fuel you use with it! :)

  6. I always thought a "grill" referred to one's teeth. So, where I'm from, to say that someone needs "grillwork" is to imply that their teeth are in less than impeccable condition. In this respect, I suppose everyone DOES have a grill, but if my interpretation is correct, then the mental image I have is of Manbug crawling around on all fours asking the dogs why they are up in his grill...and if this IS the scene, then they have every reason to be:)

  7. lol so funny. I have to admit I sometimes still use grill to refer to my face. Sometimes teen slang takes a while to fully move away from. Hilarious you're hearing it from your son.
