To the men in our lives...finally giving you an "in" on our language!

Greg's sister sent me this and I did laugh out loud because I know we ALL use these phrases.

NINE WORDS WOMEN USE:
(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)
(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' . That will bring on a 'whatever').
(8) Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying ____ YOU!
(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.

Oh my! I just laughed out loud and thankfully Scott was standing over my shoulder, so I told him to read it.

He didn't think it was so funny. :)

All true! :)
I love the pictures in your last post too! Those are some awesome Valentine projects. I laughed about sneeking out the garbage...I throw ALL there projects away and things often get fished out with a question of why I'd do such a thing!

Very funny post, and kind of sad how true it is if you think about it... :)

Also, your Valentine's post was much fun. I honestly LOVE that picture of the messy boys' room. So happy to see that other people's children make horrific messes too. And the house is BEAUTIFUL. I am so excited for you. Keep posting pictures.
