DOMESTIC LIFE

First thing this morning ...

The wife: "Did it rain last night?"

Me: "Yes."

The wife: "Are you sure?"

Me: "Yes."

The wife: "It doesn't look like it rained."

Me: "Look at the sidewalk and the driveway.  They're still wet."

The wife: "How do you know they're wet from rain?"

Me: "Starting at a quarter-to-four this morning about a half-inch of rain fell over the next hour or so."

The wife: "I don't think it rained last night."

Translation: "Be sure to water the lawn this weekend instead of goofing around."

With my wife, there's no need for translation. If she thinks the lawn needs to be watered, she says "Water the lawn". At least I know where I'm at.

Yes, that's usually best, Franklin. For the most part I too receive my orders in plain language. ;)
