Even after eight years of marriage, omitting a word or two
from a conversation can result in an injury. It’s never safe to assume that
your partner knows you so well that they know what you’re thinking, even when
(in my opinion) it’s obvious.
I was about to start cutting Mr T’s hair with the hair
clippers when I realised that his chair was a little too far away from where the
clippers were plugged in, so I asked him to stand up. He stood and I moved the
chair to the left, thinking that he’d realise that I’d moved it (it made an
obvious ‘chair moving across floor’ sound as I moved it). I was still checking
the cord length when I said, ’Okay, sit back down.’
As I turned to face Mr T, he sat, right where he was
standing, so he missed the chair and landed on the floor!
Oops… :)
