Bagging It
A short blurb here. Just a note to myself as to just one more reason why my Ever-Loving Wife is the funniest person happening..well, at least to me.In a recent "discussion" between the daughter and the E-LW, the former was, in her mind, reacting first to the facial expressions of the latter before the latter's verbal expressions had a chance to affect the former. Confused? So was the E-LW.
"So, you're telling me you're interpreting my words prior to their being spoken by evaluating my facial expressions?", the E-LW said to the daughter?
A firm "Yes" was aired. "In fact", the suddenly clairvoyant daughter went on, "I can tell exactly what you're going to say by what I see happening on your face."
Off to the pantry goes my E-LW. Much noise of the Kraft paper variety ensues. She comes out, a brown bag over her head with eyeholes carefully cut out.
"There, let's talk. You can stare at my blank expression all you want; just listen to my words."
Unfortunately, the "discussion" dissipated into laughter and much rolling on the floor. The E-LW, ever-conscious of the environment, keeps the Conversation Bag handy for the next time.
Because, with daughters (and sons), there's always a next time.
