Okay, if you’ve read what He Said They Said,
here is what She Says They Really Said:
She: “You may have the car today, I’m not going anywhere. I finished my grocery shopping yester– … Crap!â€
He: “What did you forget?â€
She: “And after I’d already gone back to the market once yesterday and told Nina that I had a bone to pick with her, ’cause she’d let me check out without reminding me to pick up, um …â€
He: “What did you forget?â€
She: “She didn’t know either.â€
He: “That was yesterday. What did you forget today?â€
She: “Sunday’s potluck. They want finger food.â€
He: “Finger food!” He crossed his arms and hid his hands. “I’m not going to church on Sunday!â€
She: “What do you mean, you’re not going? You just spent a good chunk of yesterday afternoon with Don and Terry practicing special music. What do you plan to tell them?”
He: “I don’t think I’ll have to tell Terry anything. Don can still sing if we’re having finger food, but Terry won’t be able to play the organ and I won’t be able to play my trumpet!”
She: “Honey, the congregation likes your trumpet enough that I don’t think you’ll have to worry about your fingers.”
He: “Oh, OK then, you’d better take the car and get to the store. Stalking the neighborhood with a cleaver isn’t the best thing for our reputation.â€
She:Â “You realize I am going to share this conversation at church don’t you?”
He:Â “Good, maybe it will spoil their appetites and they’ll leave my fingers alone!”
