We all know there are just some things, that when we hear them means we are in for some not so good news.

So, here are a few, with translations, make me cringe when I hear them at the table with morning coffee....

1) We gotta talk.
Meaning: This is the opening phrase for all bad news, ranging from "I threw away your $700 hand made boots because they had a hole in the sole" to "I want to end the relationship."

2) I have been thinking
Meaning: I want to end the relationship

3) 'The sixty minutes news team is waiting in your office.'
Meaning: YOU HAVE BEEN BUSTED, or the company you work for has been busted.
Actually, this never happened to me, but it did happen to my brother in law when he was an accountant at ENRON.

4) I need some space.
Meaning: I have been sleeping with your best friend and his girl friend, but not at the same time.

So..... it turns out I have Herpes

I'm over Butch but apparently he isn't over me.

So I figured out what was wrong with the car I have been driving it with the E-Break on.

When I say I have been thinking, It's never going to be followed with I want to end the relationship. IT's usually followed with some task or chore I want Daddy to help me with.

For example, I was thinking, Daddy, that we should move the dresser out of the bedroom and put it in the hallway.

OR I was thinking, Daddy, about rearranging the bedroom, which means Daddy will have to do all the lifting and moving of the furniture in here since I can;t.

Either way, it sure doesn't bode well for Daddy, usually, when I say I've been thinking......

1) We gotta talk.

Aylee: What is this "we?" Do you have a mouse in your pocket?

2) I have been thinking

Aylee: It is about time. Keep it up. It is good for you.

3) 'The sixty minutes news team is waiting in your office.'

Aylee: Fuck 'em. They are just shills for the Liberals anyway. Call the cops and have them charged with trespassing.

4) I need some space.

Aylee: Well, you picked a great time for it. People are selling their houses for less than they are worth.

Aylee is NOT a morning person.

I'm thinking, "what's your name again?" would not be good... if they don't know your name, they don't get to stay until sunrise. Sheesh. Everybody knows that, it's in the handbook.

Have you read the "The Complete Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook "? Because it explains how to survive this if you are the one NOT remembering the persons name in the morning. I kid you not.
Amazon link to book.

Dealing with the honey do lists, I always regretted hearing:

1) You know, we need to use space in the (insert room here) better.

2) I think that we should redo the living room in a nice light maple. (this means the walnut gun case goes to the den, study, or garage)

3) Dont you think the walls are a bit too dark/light?

And there is an effective counter to these three topic starters.

"Well, you are indeed right, and I was thinking, there is a bunch of stuff in the closet that could go to good will, I will take care of that first."

1) There is something that I've been meaning to tell you...
2) Why does it smell like something curled up and died in here?
3) You know I do not remember saying that....
4) I have to call the bank and check my bank balance...

"I don't mean to be ugly , but....."
             means i am going to be ugly and ......

"I'm saying this for your own good....."
               means you aren't doing something the way i want you to do it.

"Bless your heart dear, ......."
           means in the South that you are going to hear something that you won't like.
