The Male Mind
Sometimes I really do wonder how the male mind works.
Out of the blue a few days ago, my darling husband asked me if crossword puzzles are getting easier. "Not that I've noticed," I replied. He brought it up again the next morning so I asked why he was suddenly interested in the difficulty of crossword puzzles.
Carl: "Because I've noticed that you can work practically any crossword puzzle you pick up."
OPEN MOUTH; INSERT FOOT!!!!!!!
Sallie: "Apparently it didn't occur to you that you are married to a well-read, intelligent woman who has a large vocabulary and can spell practically any word that has ever been written?"
Apparently it didn't.
P.S. I'm waiting for him to notice that I sometimes work them in ink.
