My wife is a rambler. At least once a day I get the stink eye when I tell her to ge to the point when she starts going into a 500 word story when 3 or 4 words will do. Even worse when I ask a simple yes or no question.
Oh God we have that exact yes or no problem. Hubby will say, “I’m going to the store is there anything you need?” And I will say, “Let’s see, I have three containers of cream and I average 6 tablespoons per day and if you divide the total volume.. blah blah blah blah …. and so I think I have enough to last a week so if you’re going back to the store in less than a week then you don’t need to get cream today.”
And hubby says, “So the answer is ‘no’. Why can’t you just say ‘no’!?”
