Lose-Lose
Mar 11
I’ve been married for nearly 17 19 20 years now, but there is one situation I have NEVER quite managed to handle:
| Location: | Home |
| Time: | 5 minutes before leaving the house. Usually early morning |
| Event: | Question |
| Source: | DBW |
| Content: | “Does my hair look ok?” |
Believe me: as much as I have tried, reaching into the bottomless depths of my superior intellect, I have yet to come up with the ideal answer.
I mean, if the question is asked, it must be for a reason; DBW rarely fishes for compliments.
The obvious replies (and their outcome) are:
| Him | Her |
| “Perfect! You look LOVELY!” | Tears: you’re telling her she always looks like that |
| “Nope” | Tears: you will always be an insensitive bastard |
| *Silence* | Rage: you NEVER listen to me |
| *Cunningly changes subject* | Frustration: she reverts to the original question |
| *Walkes away* | Suicidal: she grabs for the nearest scissors |
| *Clutches knee and complains about old war wound* |
Perplexity: no further reaction |
You can guess my favorite, but I am seriously running out of body parts…

komm, nach 20 Jahren Ehe kannst ruhig sagen: “why is the dog on your head ? oh … it`s your hair !” und dann Dein charmantestes Lächeln aufsetzen (oder ganz dreckig lachen)
Mein liebster Harry
Du und ich, wir müssen uns definitiv kennenlernen! Ich hoffe, Du bist dann Herr der Lage, und zeigst vollstes Verständnis für meine detaillierte Beschreibung deiner verschiedenen Körperteile, die mit der Zeit aus der Form geraten sind.
