“You
should know!”
She will say this even if it only requires a yes or no answer. It annoys her, because
“I should
know.”
The thing
is, she, and perhaps all those who share the same chromosome configuration,
has such a strong intuition/perception ability that she does not realize that “I
should know” only would apply if in fact I had that same intuition/perception
capability.
I clap my
hands with cupped palms; I do not have that capability.
Allow me
this recent example of her uncanny perception superpower.
The other
night after dinner Mrs. C was enjoying a desert pudding dish. This was the night before she was to get her
first vaccine shot at 9:00 AM.
Readers of
this blog may know that Mrs. C does not scoop her pudding. She dips her spoon in the pudding and eats whatever pudding sticks to the spoon.
She claims this
technique is her way of stretching out a pudding high euphoria.
I only note
that it takes forever for her to finish her pudding. I do from time to time tease her over this.
Anyway, while
she was enjoying her pudding I casually asked her,
“What
time is your vaccine appointment tomorrow?”
This question
was a set up for telling her she might be late because she takes so long to eat
her pudding.
Within a nanosecond
of my asking the question she responded,
“I hate
you!”
“Why?”
“You should
know!”
“What do
you mean?”
“I know
damn well you were about to make fun of me for the time I take eating pudding…you
were going to say I would be late for my appointment tomorrow!”
“You don’t
know that.”
“Yes. Yes
I do!”
Now I know
why my wife thinks “I should know.” I should know, because in Mrs. C’s head
every thing is so clear and obvious. She
ascertains information by inflection, facial expression, body language and experience.
No words are
needed.
I was about
to respond that I hate her as well, when she interrupted,
“I know;
you hate me too!”
“Yes,
sometimes I do.”
Not really.
Well her saying you should know is far better than if you don't know I'm going tell you.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day, Joe. ☺
I admire her self control for eating her pudding that way. That is something you should know.

Um, yeah, stop being predictable. I have one of them things at home. You know, a wife? Learned long ago to not be predictable. Any given funny thangy is only fun or funny the first half dozen times, after that it's time to come up with new material or find a new audience. Doesn't seem like you're ready or interested in a new audience so ..... ;-)
ReplyDeleteHa ha, yes she does know stuff and can really read you. Beware.
ReplyDeleteI mean,you did know!
ReplyDeleteYou two sound like you're on the same page.
ReplyDelete“You should know!”
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Nothin' better than a happy marriage.
ReplyDeleteNot to downplay the all-knowingness of Mrs C, but you guys are not all that hard to figure out.
ReplyDeleteHeeheehee! No matter what, you two are great.
ReplyDeleteHah! :)
ReplyDeleteYou should know.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that she thinks you know everything.
ReplyDeleteSo funny. My wife is similar. She claims to know my thoughts or opinions about everything without me voicing it. She will say, "I know you didn't like that" or I know you don't want to do that" when I haven't even formed an opinion. If I say the opposite of what she thinks, there is no changing her mind about my true thoughts. She is convince she knows me better than I do. I have to admit she is right some time!

ReplyDeletei don't know since when but i too can sense bits of thoughts people around me ,may women have more time to think or habit to think more ,or may there are some men either with same ability and women with less level of sensitivity
