She Asked me - Do I Look Fat ?

My office is across the driveway from my home, and three days a week, when my beautiful wife Jill loads the kids in our mini-van to take them to pre-school - I run down from my office to kiss the girls goodbye.

This morning my wife asked me “Do I Look Fat” ?

Now, lets forget the fact that, as I define beauty, she is the most beautiful woman that I’ve ever met.

And lets ignore the fact that she’s a little tiny thing.

Not only is the question itself foolish, just the ASKING of the question is foolish.

I mean really!

If I wanted to get divorced – I’d just hire another lawyer!

In fact she isn’t fat – she’s just had two children in the past 4 years and taking care of them (and me) doesn’t leave her the time for exercise that she has had for the first 35 years of her life. (She’s always been a health and fitness nut.)

But I got to thinking about the question.

1.) If she thinks she looks fat, when I tell her she’s not - she won’t really believe me , will she ?

2.) If I thought she actually DID look fat, does she really think I would SAY SO?

3.) If she really think she looks fat, ad I tell her she doesn’t look fat, then won’t she now think that I routinely lie to her – and if I’m lying about that am I lying about other things?

So…… Honesty aside, there is no right answer. The truth doesn’t even matter, if your wife asks this question, you’re screwed !

Marriage is great, but it never stops being complicated.
