MUNCHKIN'S SATURDAY CORNER # 46
















As a Woman, I Feel that Many Men (Including My Daddy) are Clueless When It Comes to What Women Mean When We Speak. So, to All You Men Out there, PAY ATTENTION:


“FINE”

We use this word at the end of any argument that we feel we are right about but need to shut you men up. And men, NEVER use fine to describe how a woman looks. To do so will cause you to have one of those arguments.


“FIVE MINUTES”

To us women, this is half an hour. It is equivalent to the five minutes that your football game is going to last before you take out the trash; therefore, it is an even trade.


“NOTHING”

This means SOMETHING and you should be on your guard. “Nothing” is usually used to describe the feeling a woman has of wanting to turn you men inside out, upside down, and backwards. “Nothing” usually signifies arguments that will last “Five Minutes” and end with the word “Fine.”


“GO AHEAD”

(with raised eyebrows)

This means “I give up” or “Do what you want because I don’t care.” You will get a raised eyebrow “Go ahead” in just a few minutes, followed by “Nothing” and “Fine” and I will talk to you in about “Five Minutes” when I cool off.


“LOUD SIGH”

This isn’t really a word, but to us women it is still often a verbal statement very much misunderstood by you men. A “Loud Sigh” means we think you are an idiot at that moment and we wonder why we are even wasting our time standing here and arguing with you over “Nothing”.


“SOFT SIGH”

Again, not a word, but it is a verbal statement. “Soft Sighs” are one of the few things that some men actually understand. It means that we are content, so your best bet is not to move or breathe and we will stay content.


“THAT’S OKAY”

This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can say to a man. “That’s Okay” means that we want to think long and hard before paying you retributions for what ever it is that you have done. “That’s Okay” is often used with the word “Fine” and used in conjunction with a raised eyebrow “Go Ahead”. At some point in the near future when we have plotted and planned, you are going to be in some mighty big trouble.


“PLEASE DO”

This is not a statement, it is an offer. It means that a woman is giving you a chance to come up with whatever excuse or reason you have for doing whatever it is that you have done. You have a fair chance to tell the truth, so be careful and you shouldn’t get a “That’s Okay”.


“THANKS”

A woman is thanking you, so DO NOT faint, just say you’re welcome.


“THANKS A LOT”

This is much different than “Thanks”. A woman will say, Thanks A Lot when she is really ticked off at you. It signifies that you have hurt her in some really callous way, and it will be followed by the “Loud Sigh”. Be very careful NOT to ask what is wrong after the “Loud Sigh”, as she will only tell you “Nothing”.





Let’s look at the positive side of life:

“Happiness comes through doors that you didn’t even know that you left open.”
