Parlez-vous homeschooling mom? The Homeschool Mom Universal Translator has been around for a while, but my homeschooling wife saw it for the first time last night, and laughed hysterically. I fail to see anything funny here — the joke must be one of those woman things — but submit it for your perusal. Excerpt:
When Your Wife Says… | What She Means is… | What She Doesn’t Mean is… |
I feel like a total failure. | I feel like a total failure…hold me… | …hold me…Tonight’s the night. |
Homeschooling is hard. | Could you please hold down the fort while I take a bath. | Public school is the only option. |
Thanks for helping with the dishes. | Keep it up and tonight might be the night. | I am in awe of your selfless love as revealed by this profound demonstration of your servant’s heart. |
I quit. | Tag! You’re it! | Could you please suggest an alternative career I could pursue outside the home. |
I can’t take it anymore… | Double shot, Grande Caramel Macchiato, not too hot, extra foam. | Honey, could you please carefully explain how I’m not being rational right now? A PowerPoint presentation would be most appreciated. |
Read the whole thing. In truth, there is, um, a lot to this. I read it and was thinking, “Really? That’s what you meant when you said that? Because I thought the other thing.” So until women learn how to say what they mean, I recommend this handy chart. You’re welcome. It’s just one of those special things we guys with servant hearts do for you ladies.
