The 9 Words Women Use

Have a SUPER weekend!

The 9 Words Women use… 

1. Fine : This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

2. Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

3. Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means “something”, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with “nothing” usually end in “Fine”.

4. Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. My advice…Don’t Do It!

5. Loud Sigh: This is actually not a word, but a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time arguing with you about nothing.  (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.)

6. That’s Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. “That’s okay” means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

7. Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question why, or Faint. Just say, “you’re welcome.”

8. Whatever: Is a women’s way of using an expletive without actually saying it!

9. Don’t worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking ‘What’s wrong?’ For the woman’s response refer to #3.

*Send this to the men you know, to warn them about arguments they can avoid if they remember the terminology.

*Send this to all the women you know to give them a good laugh…they know it’s true!

 Does this sound like your house?

Do as I Say, Not as I Do

A friend of mine was asked the following question by his daughter recently….

“Daddy, why do grown ups tell kids to be nice to each other, when they (grown ups) are not nice to each another?”

There’s a couple things going on in this question:

1. The child (and I’m not sure how old the child is), is perceptive enough to know that grown-ups say one thing, but often do something completely different.

2. Consequently, the child also recognizes that there’s a problem when a person’s behavior doesn’t match up with their words…Hence the question, “Why?” 

She didn’t ask, “Why are grown-ups mean to other?”  Rather, she clearly wants to know why grown-ups don’t practice what they preach.

I have a friend who would often say, “Your actions speak so loudly, I can’t hear a word you say.” 

Let me ask you something…Do you practice what you preach?  Are your actions consistent with your words?
