Wife Rule #30 Revisit

When your wife says "I have the target giftcard" she means: she has the target giftcard. When she says "you have the target giftcard" she means: you had better have the target giftcard. When she says "we have the target giftcard" she means: I think you have the target giftcard. Don't go shopping for 45 minutes and discover that neither of you has target giftcard.

We got some wonderful gifts for our wedding, but since no one get everything they want some of our friends and family gave us one of the most wonderful things ever invented giftcards.

In the weeks that followed we spent a lot of our cards that had lower amounts of money on them and we had saved the largest giftcard for a special trip to get something we really needed.

Well we shopped for 45 minutes and found exactly what we were looking for, but when we went to go buy it...no giftcard.

Needless to say there was much blaming of each other until I figured out her language. And so I pass that knowledge on to you, use it as a primer for all possession based conversation. I certainly do.
