Today, my husband was in our newborn's room, holding and talking to him. I guess he forgot the baby monitor, because I overheard him say, "Wanna know a secret? Daddy kills people." I really hope he was just quoting Dexter. FML

Today, I overheard my in-laws talking about me. It started off with light insults and ended with, "People like her are the reason murder ain't always wrong". FML

Today, my husband of 6 years said in a grave voice that he had some important news for me. Jokingly, I said, "Why, did you get that cute colleague of yours pregnant?" He did. FML

Today, I was watching a crime drama with my parents. During a tense moment, I casually said, "Oh, I know how to hide a body." They both stared at me in horror, and I had to explain that I meant from watching too many true crime videos on YouTube, not from actual experience. FML

Today, I overheard my mother-in-law and sister-in-law over the baby monitor. They were talking about how much better off my daughter would be if I were to die. FML

Today, while my husband was at work, he missed our son saying his first word ("Dada"), taking his first steps and smashing the widescreen TV with a well-aimed teddy bear. Care to guess which of these three things made my husband cry. FML

Today, my husband and I sat our 10-year-old daughter down for a chat over her recent cursing. When my husband asked where she'd heard the words, she "innocently" replied, "from mommy's other boyfriend." He took her seriously, accused me of cheating, and hasn't been home since. FML

Today, I drove to the hospital to see my newborn. I went to the room, picked him out of the crate and held him. Then I heard the toilet flush and saw a woman who I didn't know come out. She screamed. My wife was in the room next door. FML

Today, I was on the phone with my boyfriend who's sick, he told me he felt sleepy due to meds and was going to bed. I jokingly said, "you're going to call your other girlfriend, aren't you?" There was silence before I heard, "you weren't supposed to find out like this." FML

Today, my family attended the funeral of an old family friend's baby, who died in childbirth. Afterwards, my husband went around snickering and quietly telling dead baby jokes to the other attendees. FML

Today, my husband came out of the bathroom and screamed, "Call 911 because I just murdered this motherfucking toilet!” then laughed hysterically at his own stupid joke. I was on a Zoom meeting at the time. Everyone heard. FML

Maybe he didn't forget the baby monitor and he was just messing with you.

If I have kids, I'll start quoting Game of Thrones or Quentin Tarantino movies... "I vomited on a girl once..."

Sounds like a classic Dexter moment and I bet plenty of newborns have heard the same thing at this point. Just a fun homage to a great moment in the show. I wouldn't worry. And remember that Dexter, well-adjusted congenial serial killer, is implausible fun fiction.

Wait till you know your husband is listening and say the same thing into the baby monitor. He'll either laugh and say "I said the same thing!" or feel comfortable enough with your 'admission' to come out and tell you that he also kills people.

Secret job you don't know about? Either way if he is quoting Dexter or is a secret agent you and your child should be safe...

Awwww, daddy's helping your kid with some early career advice!!! Sweet!! Another possibility to consider, OP, is that Dexter was quoting your husband. Watch out for guys that look like John Lithgow is the best advice I can give you!
