Watters: "What kind of husband goes grocery shopping with his wife?" Mine. Always has

Fox News’ Jesse Watters took exception to Doug Emhoff accompanying Kamala Harris to a store on his show Thursday night, asking viewers: “What kind of husband goes grocery shopping with his wife?”

During a segment on his eponymous Primetime show, Watters slated the former VP for setting up a blog and said that “Mamala” had been “caught” grocery shopping.

We collaborate on the laundry, but I’m the one who folds it and puts it away.

He says I am his friend. Maybe other husbands and wives are also enjoying friendships with each other. Perhaps this is a unfamiliar concept to Fox News (cough-cough) hosts.

Like them, you are too weak of character to behave like a REAL man. And, like one of 'em found out the hard way a while back, getting physically belligerent with a 77-year-old man with a notable dislike of bullies was most definitely not in his best interest.

"If he's married."

He was married but had an affair on his wife while they both worked at Fox. So Fox, in their enabling way, put her on another show and later he got married to the one he was having an affair with and they had a kid very shortly thereafter. Never mind that he already had three with the other woman, who eventually left Fox. I think that's it, anyway. Is your head spinning?

And now I think he's up to five kids.

He's not quite as bad as feLeon but approaching there. Both men have mothers who are somewhat distinctive. feLeon's mother is an older model, which is kind of a rare sort of career. She supports his lies and even pitch hits.

Watters' mother, however, comes from a distiinguished family but it sounds like she kind of married down a few notches and settled for a mere teacher. His mother is from the family that started Better Homes & Gardens magazine. Also somewhere in that lineage is The Saturday Evening Post. Plus there is a senator and state Supreme Court/Colorado justice in there. too.

Watters' mom, as I understand it, doesn't buy her son's simple minded approach to the news. She demands proof to his goofy stories and doesn't get it.

After we moved in together a few decades ago, it was very clear that he was very picky about the food that we ate, so I said "Maybe you should do the cooking."
So he did and became an excellent chef. At first I felt a loss of control, but now I love sitting their with my glass of wine and watching him cook.

My husband and I go to the store together all the time.

Sometimes he goes alone. Sometimes I go alone. Sometimes we both go. There are no rules for this except what people make up for themselves.

Watters is a dumbass.

He made the grocery hilarious. While I was fussing over produce he'd go find all the lone bananas and use them to spell something or take one over to the apples or oranges and make a smiley face. One time he took a pocket of stick on googly eyes and went to town.

If he caught the guy in meat dept putting out new packs, he'd end up with all the meat dept workers plus a few other guys shopping, having a whole conversation about grilling and smoking.

When our store installed a "moo" when you open the dairy doors, he'd stand there an play with it AND the chicken sound they put on the egg doors. Women would walk by and roll their eyes...smiling. Unless they had kids... then it was "but Mom, HE'S doing it!".

He'd thank everyone who worked there for coming to work. He'd shake hands with the managers and tell them "so and so" is really doing a good job "wherever they worked".

One time when his hair had gone all white there was a little boy acting up something fierce. David walked over and quietly said "I'm watching you", winked and walked away. Oh the shocked look at that boy's face. He straightened right up and started yes ma'aming his Mom. Hilarious.

My wife gets to avoid the stress. It pleases me to do that for her.

I also do the cooking, so it's makes sense for me to get the supplies.

I feel quite manly.

87. Urgh! I really want to do one of those "Real men do this or that" posts. I hate those, but this one is asking for it.

But there’s another way around it than using the old fashioned “real men go shopping.”

And it’s this: Anyone who eats food should know how to get food…

…without making their mommy do it for them.

Gah! I was so close!!!

And all of the cooking and cleaning up after meals. My wife doesn't cook, so I don't let her shop. When she does, she buys the wrong stuff most of the time, anyhow.

I like cooking. Learned it in my mother's kitchen when I was a kid doing homework on the table there. My wife said, "I don't cook" when we were first getting together. I said, "No problem. I do."

And that was that.
