EIGHT WORDS WOMEN USE:
1. Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
2. Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
3. Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
4. Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't do it!
5. Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but it is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)
6. That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
7. Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here- This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot'-- that is pure sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all.)
8. Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to #3.
My friend Yasmine posted this on her blog the other day and I thought it was too funny and really pretty accurate so I decided to pass it along. You might need to make a handout for your husband to refer to later.

love the "words" list, the really funny thing is THEY ARE SO TRUE!!
I would hate to be a man and try to figure out women!
I loved this though, are we women more alike than we realize? All of that language was right on.
So true.
Okay girl, time to get your internet set up and post about what the move's been like. How's Mattawa! How's your house coming along! All that stuff. Are you coming to town this week? If you need to drop your girls off so you can get stuff done you can.
