lessons in marital communication #833

Written by Anne Jackson on March 14, 2008 – 7:59 am

in target, going to buy some new venus embrace razors. (the ads were getting to me, i had to try it).

anne: i’m glad i’m getting these…it’s been forever since i’ve shaved my legs.

chris: how long, really?

anne: it depends on which leg.

chris: [silence]

lesson: husbands, your wives are busy people. sometimes, we can’t shave them both. we’re lucky if we can just get the knee down. if you think it’s something you might not want to know…don’t ask.

Written by Anne Jackson on February 24, 2008 – 10:44 am

anne has just rolled out of bed, has thrown on some clothes and stares in the mirror. her curly hair yesterday is now resembling something like a 1970’s afro. two bobby pins later, anne turns to chris:

anne: do you think my hair looks really big?

chris: (pauses) not really big…

anne: too big to go out?

chris: (pauses) …. (pauses) …. (pauses) ….

anne: is it too big to go out?

chris: (pauses) …. no …. (pauses) …. well, you might want to …. wet it down a little bit or something.

lesson: husbands, lie to your wives. it will give them confidence.

lessons in marital communication #256

Written by Anne Jackson on December 27, 2007 – 3:55 pm

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…
