So, one of the Christmas presents I got for my wife is a wax warmer.
My 6-year-old son was walking through the living room today as I was moving it
and he asked, "Daddy, where did you get that for Mommy?"
So I said, "What, this?"
"Yes."
"At the store."
"Oh."
He walked a little further and asked, "What store?"
And I said, "A store that sells these."
"Oh, okay!" and he walked off completely satisfied.
My wife, who had been reading on the couch, began to laugh and said, "What kind of conversation was that?!"
And I jokingly replied, "That's how men talk, baby. You wouldn't understand."
She laughed and replied, "Oh, really?"
And I laughed and said, "Sure! See, we understood each other completely. Even at six he already understands Man-Speech. It's comes from being born with 'testiculars,' don't you know?"
She laughed out loud and replied, "Oh, whatever! Next time you should just grunt at each other."
And laughed I said, "When he's older."
The “mission” chart is right on the money.....I’ve explained to my daughters: men don’t shop, men buy.
Her thought process is!
You’re a good man. I love my wax warmer.
Exactly, When ever I tell my wife I am going to the big box store to get some beer and she says I want to go with you I know I am already 45 min behind schedule because she has to get ready. When we get into the store I am heading straight to the beer coolers when she will say I am going to go look for this and that. At that point I tell her I will be outside waiting in the truck with my case of beer. An hour later we are heading back home when she sees the craft store she has not been in for a week and says lets stop here.
Now, when I want to go get beer I just tell her I am going to go gas up the truck and I am back in no time with my beer and catching the actual start of the football game.
Women gather, men hunt
Made perfect sense to me. Cut to the chase. Make your point. You're in, you're out. Boom.
A grunt & a scratch -- that's usually all you need ....
I explained to two women once how insensitive women were in general since they were reliant on language for communication and men inherently understood each other with very few words needed. They began to berate me, speaking over each other in the process. I smiled and shrugged at the other husband and he laughed, understanding me perfectly. The women grasped how much I had just relayed and had to grudgingly smile as well.

Grunts are not words so don’t count and repeating something you hear is an echo so those don’t count either.
