the other day at lunch, i was apparently munching down hardcore on some barbecue chips. in fact, i must have been pretty hungry because i didn't even realize time had passed when i realized the new bag was almost empty. as i come to, i look up to find mister looking at me in astonishment. and then he says: "i didn't know you liked bbq chips so much." i shrugged and let that one go. then he said " you just don't look like that kind of girl." pause. confused, i say: "that kind of girl -- what is that suppose to mean?" he started back-tracking and apologized. then i finished the bag and let it go. then i put my cowboy boots back on, got in my big F150 and drove back to work on the farm. that kind of girl -- i still don't know what that's suppose to mean.
anyways, it got me thinking. see my sister in law is getting married in a week. and i was trying to think of some wisdom that i, a wife of 1 year and 5.5 months, could impart to the new happy couple. after the chip incident, i figured the new husband could use this advice:
to the new husband: if at any point, new wife says: "and what's that suppose to mean?" immediately retract everything you have said in the last 48 hours. you have pissed your wife off and it's not going to be pretty. why is it not going to be pretty? because you live together and she does your laundry now. you are trapped. repeat after me: happy wife, happy life. also -- take important things out of your pockets before you throw them into the dirty clothes hamper. it will be your fault.
