Wife says it’s perfect…

I’m hanging lights in our new house. Naturally, I ask my wife how high or low she wants them.

Well, one looks too high to me, but she says it’s perfect. When she’s not looking, I lowered it six inches and asked her if she was sure. She looks again and assures me it’s perfect.

I’m happy, it looks much better a bit lower than it did a bit higher. The secret is to ask what she thinks in the first place. If I had just hung it where I thought it looked good without asking first, she would have had me adjust it six times to get it perfect. I’m four steps ahead now.

Around this house, I would not move a ladder or a tool until I could provide a legal document my Wife could sign first, then notarized.

My now passed FIL used to say his TV’s settings didn’t look right so I started fiddling with him. When it was all said and done, he’d say it was much better. As you would think, there was no actual change or very it was almost too slight to tell. Made him happy, though.

"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford, "it is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards."
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in."

You've obviously been married a while. It takes experience to get away with things like that. Ya dun gud!

Every day!

Tell your wife you want to surprise her with dinner out.
When she asks, “Are we going to X?”
Yes dear we are!
