My amazing sister-in-law, Adina, wrote this up and I had to transfer it to my blog. It is so funny, so Stinchfield, so us. I talked to Mike this morning and he said he was reading it and picturing me laughing the whole way through. He thought it was hilarious- and accurate.
WHAT IT REALLY MEANS WHEN YOUR HUSBAND SAYS THE FOLLOWING THINGS:
"What's your problem?": This is his oh-so-sensitive version of "Are you okay?" or "Is something wrong?". This questions often prompts a "nothing" response...for some reason.
"Hey, come and look at this (on the computer)": Don't look. If you do look, don't tell him you like it in any form. He will interpret interest as: "I love it. We need it. Buy it now."
"It costs about $.....": Add 50% to this figure and you are getting close.
"Let's go.": This means HE is ready to go and will be out in the car. Do not take this as any offer to help YOU or the kids be ready. It isn't. He'll just wait in the car.
"Hey - you married me.": Interpret this as: "Put your Sparkle book away; I'm not Edward". No kidding.
"I love you.": This means he loves you. Awesome. :)

I found you! I am so glad Megan linked to you on her blog. I hope you don't mind me linking you as well.
I love this entry. My husband says the "what's your problem" thing all the time. Nice to know it is a guy thing and my husband isn't the only one lacking sensitivity.
:O)
