Things I Wish I’d Said First

“When a man tells you he’s going to take care of something you don’t have to remind him every six months.”

~ I walked over to Smoketree Plaza (Palm Springs) for lunch today.  I was sitting in Jersey Mike’s Subs having my sub and at the four top next to mine was a man, his wife, and their two late teenage looking sons.  I was reading a Dwell magazine so I wasn’t paying attention to the topic.  But I heard that sentence and loved it.  I immediately started saying it to myself with emphasis on different words and swapping out some words to see if I could improve upon it.  But no, as I heard it, straight, no hot words, just simple and plain, is the best version.
