an apartment full of boxes somewhere in dallas…chris and anne are discussing final moving things, including the new living room furniture they picked out last week.
chris: so, when is our furniture getting delivered?
anne: um…i thought you said we were going to wait until we moved up there to order it…
chris: yeah, i said that, but i thought you’d get it anyway!
anne: (mouth hangs open overdramatically)…i was just being a submissive wife! i’m not going to spend a bunch of money without us being on the same page.
chris: i just assumed that what i say has no meaning!
anne: so you want me to order it?
chris: it would nice to have furniture when we get there.
lesson: wives, don’t be submissive to your husbands. evidently what they say has no meaning…
i love Jackson conversations
har har… greatness
Whenever my wife and I got married, we agreed she could make all the minor decisions and I would make all the major decisions. Oddly enough, every decision we have encountered thus far has been classified as a “minor” decision – including our new furniture. ;)
Or, just don’t move away.
Then you don’t have problems like these.
Oh, dear! Well, at least you tried, Anne… :)
that is hilarious. i looove it.
that’s funny. Good luck on the move and the new furniture.
I’m serious my dad told me this…”I actually let your mom run things since she likes to control everything so much..and it makes things easy for me, now all I have to do is just read my newspaper and watch sports on TV”
Thanks dad for your awesome wisdom! :)
How was the game? Thought of you as I was flipping between the Mav’s b-ball and Texas football.
Amen on “marital communication” – I love that title “256″! Just wanna wish y’all the best in Oklahoma on your new furniture!!!
Oh the lifelong lesson in everything that we call marriage….
I appreciate your transparency Anne!
Married people can do fun things on the floor with or with-out funiture. Duh.
With our with-out carpet for that matter.
ah, yes…the growth path of marital communication! can be painful in the moment, but often bears some fruit…:)
oh my friend, yes. The classic panic provoking opening line in marital communication: “I thought you…” Or “I thought we decided … “
That sounds like me and my husband! :)
Love it! Love it! Been there done that and will probably do that again I’m sure! The madness of… I thought you were…No…I thought you were… “Marital Mush” :)
Reminds me of running in circles playing Duck..duck…duck…GOOSE!
Marital communication skills which I believe are essential to success in marriage. Being deficient in even one of these may spoil the mutual understanding.
I would like to appreciate you for your sincere efforts
