Why Guys Can't Win
Last Thursday, I rushed home from work in order to drive with MHW to a family wedding in Boro Bark, Ir Hakodesh. She was still dressed in regular clothes, having just finished giving The Toddler a bath.
Stupid Me (SM) said, "You're not ready."
MHW: "I'm almost ready. I have my makeup on. I just have to put on my dress."
SM: "Oh, sorry, I didn't notice."
MHW. "You think I don't have enough makeup on?"
SM: "No, I just hadn't noticed. You have plenty of makeup on."
MHW: "You think I have too much makeup on?"
I give up.

That's where you lost. ;-) You should have just said, "You look beautiful." Can't ever go wrong with that one...I don't think...

Understood...that's why I refer to myself as SM.
But what I meant was "I didn't notice you had makeup on because you were wearing a regular skirt and blouse and a teichel rather than your sheital so I didn't realize that you were almost ready to go, so I didn't llok closely enough to see that your makeup was on just perfectly......."

I thought Monsey was Ir Hakodesh - at least that's what people kept telling me for the 4 long years we lived there :-)

You can't win. You should know that by now. Just smile and nod. :-)
