Before Christmas her indoors had been chunterring away about the time I was spending in the garage etc. etc. which in her speak is “he’s in his own space and out of control”, and what with one thing and another, over the last couple of weeks I’ve not been doing so much out there.
This morphed into her telling all visitors that she'd told me not to spend so much time in the garage, and in the last couple of days she included notifying them that she’s going to put me on a diet.
Now fair enough, no one could ever accuse me of being anorexic, but she does the cooking and, like most men, I slurp the slop that appears in front of me, so, to a degree, the recent weight gain isn’t entirely my fault. Before anyone takes issue with that, I know I don’t have to eat, it but if too much is left you get the inevitable “is there something wrong, didn’t you like it”, which is neighbour to “does my arse look big in this” in the top 10 questions you hope you’re never asked.
So having heard these lines told several times to different people, and getting a little tired of the “look at how much I control him” attitude I pulled the pin out and lobbed in “you’re just lucky your not too fat”.
Now I’m back to spending as much time in the garage as I like.
Who says men don’t understand women.
