Men and Women Do Speak Different Languages
Recently while having breakfast at a local restaurant, I was able to overhear the following conversation by a thirty-something couple, who are either living together or married.
Woman: “I just love how the bedroom is turning out. The color is really beautiful.”
Man: Continues to read the paper.
Woman: “The new bedding really compliments the new wall color. I think the new duvet cover is great.”
Man: Continues to read the paper.
Woman: “What do you think of the duvet cover?”
Man: The slightest flicker of emotion flashes across the man’s face. He has a sip of coffee.
Woman: She waits expectantly.
Man: He has to say something.
Woman: She waits expectantly.
Man: He hasn’t the slightest idea of what a duvet* is.
Woman: Puts down her newspaper.
Man: “I like it.”
Woman: Smiles, and goes back to her paper.
*For those of you who don't speak "Woman Language," a duvet is like a blanket that goes on top of the bed, hence the color of the duvet cover would affect the overall look of the room, particularly affecting the color scheme.
