"I just farted" which translates to "I'm warning you that this one is super stinky and I'm sorry you're trapped in the car with me and you're gonna start gagging"

"We could camp" screams in horror.

Bezalelle · 21/02/2020 12:53

"Let's go out!"

Noooooo. Let's stay in where it's warm and dry and I won't have to speak to anyone except the cat and possible you.

I cooked dinner!

Aka I have taken out literally every single utensil, pan, plate and gadget we own, and used it.

”Why don't we...” followed by a previously discussed and rejected suggestion. Hmm

Whynosnowyet · 21/02/2020 12:56

For arguments sake..

You look tired.

"By the way ..."

This always presages massive disaster. Sad

Conversely: 'Oh my God, you won't believe this' tends to indicate a minor problem, such as we've run out of baked beans.

He never fucking finishes that sentence. Ever. Drives me bloody nuts

DameDaffodil · 21/02/2020 13:08

100% agree with "We could camp"!

Makingitlookhard · 21/02/2020 13:10

Mine only needs to say one word... “so”. If he starts a sentence “so....” I know that it’s going to be big news that’s potentially life changing/expensive/something crucial he’s forgotten to tell that

Andsbk · 21/02/2020 13:12

Husband : I was thinking....
Me: No!!! Please don't think!!! Just do what I m telling you!!!!

DameDaffodil · 21/02/2020 13:12

Also, " I made bread" which translates to "I've trashed the entire kitchen, there's flour everywhere and now I'm going to be offended when you don't want to sample said (inedible) bread."

Oh, you choose.
