Another Difference Between Men and Women
Scene: Evening. Wife-beast in one leather recliner on laptop; your host in the other recliner completing a phone conversation with Unky Rich.
Me (talking into phone): Okay, good night. I ll talk to you tomorrow. (Hangs up phone.)Wife-beast (nonchalant):
Who s Chris?Me:
I don t know what you re talking about.Wife-beast:
You told Rich that you can t believe that Chris made fun of how much you weigh. Who is she?Me (confused):
I don t know any Chris.Wife-beast:
Apparently you do. You were talking to Rich about her.Me (still confused):
Take me back in the conversation a little bit. In what context did I talk about Chris?Wife-beast:
Don t act dumb. You were talking about a Chris, one you and Rich apparently know very well, and how she was teasing you.Me (the Aha! moment):
Chris is Rich s brother! He s a half-a-foot taller than I am and I almost weigh the same as him. He laughed at me. There s no girl Chris.Wife-beast (returns to typing away):
Hmf.Me:
Are you embarrassed? Ashamed?Wife-beast:
No.
