Ever wonder how to read your significant other? I have tried to analyze my wife for years with no success. As soon as I think I have it, I am surprised.

Here are some standard responses everyone know…

Do I look fat?
NO!

Don’t worry I will take out the trash.
(I better get my a$$ outside and take out the trash.)

I’m gonna pick something up at the store.
(I better get ready to carry in the bags.)

I heard a couple new ones today that I am still translating.

While you are out at Best Buy why not get a Nintendo WII?
(What is she up to?)

Why not get that 46 inch flat screen today?
(I’m scared.)

    Do not forget a classic:
    “I think we should [do|get|fix|etc.] X” translates to “you better [do|get|fix|etc.] X”
    or….
    you say “Honey, what’s the matter”. She replies “Nothing”. Translation “Keep asking what’s the matter until you realize it is somehow your fault”.
    :)

    Maybe your wife just wants a WII because they are fun. And maybe she likes to watch TV too. David Duchovny probably looks even better in HD.
