….with the BF took place something like this.
——————————————————–
(While discussing hobbies)
Me : (folding laundry) You know, my friend at work, S? Well she and her husband like watching movies every weekend.
BF : (reading his newspaper) Hmmm……..Good.
Me : You know CG from office?? She and her husband like travelling. They go for a vacation every year.
BF : (turning over a page) Hmmm…….Good good.
Me : And there is this another girl I know, she and her husband LOVE cycling. They go all the way from Aundh to Sinhgadh!!
BF : (turning another page) Really?? Good for them.
Me : Does this tell you something??
BF : Huh?
Me : You know? Does it give you a hint?
BF : About what??
Me : Oh for God’s sake!! Just think. Is there ONE thing you and I have in common??
BF : (totally bewildered at his wife’s stern tone) We have the twins!!
Me : (gnashing my teeth now) Arrrgghhhh!! I didn’t mean that!! I meant HOBBIES. LIKES and DISLIKES!! Do we have anything in common??
BF : (Looking far off into space…..)……………………..
Me : Well….??
BF : Ummm…..I guess, NO. Unless you think ‘Liking’ is a hobby. In that case, you like BFS and so do I 😀
(I throw a towel at him)
BF : (grinning now) Well, you did ask what we have in common, didn’t you?
Me : Yeah!! Me and my big mouth!!
————————————————————————
(While talking about moving)
BF : You know, I was thinking…
Me : What about?
BF : why don’t we move to the other flat and get this one renovated?
Me : (jumping with joy inside while remaining cool as a cucumber on the outside) Hmmm..you really think we should get this place renovated?
BF : Yeah! Its big, spacious and has rooms for everyone. We just need to spruce it a bit, add another room, redo the kitchen, add a bathroom….
Me: Hold on!! All this is going to cost us, you know!! Are you ready to spend all that now?
BF : Yeah, I mean, the more we delay, the more expensive its gonna get. Plus, its just a matter of time before M (the BIL) gets married. We need to make sure the house is spiffy before his wife comes.
Me: Hey!! How come you didn’t think on those lines when I came here?
BF : Because I know you. You love me enough to stay anywhere in any condition, as long as I’m there with you 😀
Me : Huh?!! Er……..Drat it!! 😐

lol!
Casual and Sweet! 🙂
🙂
LOL, this looks like conversations I have with my hubby too.
Btw.. Welcome back. 🙂
Here’s a sample of our conversations.
Me : C our neighbour’s lawn looks so green…
Hubby: Yes, he sure has a green thumb
Me : G(our other neighbour) has hired help to keep his lawn looking good.
Hubby: Yes, I saw three of them working in his yard.
Me : You know Mrs. C we met at that birthday party?
Hubby: Yes.
Me : She has her trees looking good since hiring this gardener who does work for her at really reasonable rates.
Hubby : Good for her.
By this time I am running out of phrases to say without seeming condescending/nagging that our lawn needs work or we need to hire someone to do it for us. So I *sigh* and get myself some coffee. The Coffee is Sooo Goood. :P.
ROFL!!!
MS, this is SO true!!
These guys just dont get the hint!!
😀
Madam, if u want to be in safe side – just tell it, why give hints? as if women take hints 😉
Aahhh!!
You don’t understand the intricacies and ingenuity that go behind those hints, Srihari :).
The trick is to make the guy do something without making him feel that the wife is bossy and demanding. Thats where the hints come in. Make the guy think on his own . Make him feel that the final decision was his own, whereas it was yours. And if things don’t work out, the wife is absolved of the blame. Its the guy who thought up the idea after all, didn’t he 😀
*I know, I know, we women are wicked ! 😉 *
