This is a Public Service announcement

[Dangerously]

THE FOLLOWING IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:

Guys don’t fall for it. Don’t do it, it’s a trick! If you ever hear the words, “Honey, I don’t care, you choose.” Coming from a woman’s lips…run…run like the wind! Trust me on this…she doesn’t mean it, she’s just luring you in. Whatever you do…don’t make a choice, force her to decide because if you do make a choice…. IT’S GOING TO BE WRONG! And believe me, even though she says she doesn’t, she does care.

Case in point:

My Wife and I went on a double dated with my youngest son and his girlfriend. We went to the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey circus. (It was fun, BTW but what ever happen to the clowns in the little cars?) Afterwards the four of us decided to go somewhere to get something to eat, “Baby, where would you like to go?” I asked. Her response…{sigh}…can you guess? “Honey, I don’t care, you choose.” Did I drop back and punt? Did I turn and run? Nooooooo! Bravely I said, “How about O’Charley’s, they’re close by, reasonably quick and generally you don’t have to wait for seating.” God help me, I can be such a DOOFUS! Her response, “But I wanted to go to Ramsey’s!” Why did I do it? What was I thinking? When she asked, why didn’t I just say, “Well…that’s ok Honey, you choose, anywhere you want to go is fine with me.” That would have been the end of the story, but no, I fell for it hook line and sinker. I made a choice. DAMN! How could I have been so stupid?

So Ok I thought it was just me…perhaps my wife was the only one that does this. Maybe we’re just a freak of nature in the you choose, I choose scheme of things. Then after dinner…at Ramsey’s of course! My son and his girlfriend decided they wanted to get a dessert to share and enjoy together on the ride home. (Ahhh…isn’t that sweet!) Then during their decision making process for which dessert to get, I suddenly hear from my son’s girlfriends lips, “Honey, I don’t care, you choose.” My ears automatically popped up, my eyes watered, I was panic stricken as I looked to my son. Will he in his young years fall for it? I had, and I’ve got experience at this man versus woman thingy. Will he survive at such a young age? “How about the Butterscotch pie?” he said. (sigh) No!!!! He didn’t just do that, I thought. My poor boy! Now, turning to look at his girlfriend I hear, “Oh but I wanted the chocolate one!” My boy, SHOT DOWN LIKE A DOG! {Double sigh!} It never fails.

So there you have it guys, It’s not just my wife, I now assume its all women! BEWARE! Don’t fall for it! When asked that question…retreat…smile and with love in your eyes say, “No honey, you go ahead and choose.” Trust me here guys, you’re going to end up there anyway.

the reverse is just as true! lol hubby will tell me he'll take me out to eat wherever I want to go and when I pick a place, he'll ask me if I'm sure I want to go THERE?! lol

[Dangerously]

Ok, what about this conversation....I call before coming home.

"Honey do you want me to stop anywhere and get you something to eat?"

Her response, "No, I'm not hungry, you go ahead and get something for yourself."

Then when I get home, she always changes her mind and wants half of whatever I stopped off to get. WTF?

I should add, I'm not complaining here, to me these are just a few of the whimsical things my wife does, that I actually do find humorous, yet confusing at the same time. But they are also the type of things that makes her so very special to me.

[squirt]

so ... lol why haven't you learned to just go ahead and bring her something??? lol

[hortysir]

'coz she needs to be cooking supper when I call

[squirt]
