That was not your inadequacy, but the fact my wife is telling me no far too often for my liking.<BR/><BR/>So, I thought I'd joke about it, but now that I read my comment it makes no sense at all.

I find it's usually, "I'm sorry, it's just that . . ." and then the excuses come out as to why it's not really his/her fault.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10628759.post-1120706312959599172005-07-06T22:18:00.000-05:002005-07-06T22:18:00.000-05:00Of course, you are not nuts.
