Is your question right?

“Honey, do I look fat in this?”
“No baby. You look okay.”
“Just okay? That means I look fat. Why can’t you be honest with me? Say that I am fat and you find me ugly. You don’t find me attractive anymore, just say it.”
Silence for few seconds. Then a reluctant sound to break it.
“When did I say that I don’t find you attractive? I love you the way you are and it doesn’t matter to me whether you’ve put on few inches here and there.”
“That means I’m fat, right?”
“Baby, we all are aging. And it is not possible for you to keep looking the same as you were in 20. I don’t expect it either.”
“Oh! So now you mean to say that I am old too. Quite natural, when you are surrounded by young babes all through the day who keep camping around you.”
“Come on! Those girls work with me. They report to me. What do I do if the company hires young executives? I can’t say no and moreover I don’t entertain with them.”
“Whaaat? Now you want young girls for entertainment? You want to bring them hooome?”
“Gawd! When did I say this? Listen, you know what you mean to me right? I am not getting any younger like you and we will grow old together.”
“Good you’ve realised that you are aging. It’s not only me you too are no more the same.”
“I know baby. I am old and tired too. Let’s forget all this and eat. I am hungry.”
Over the dining table.
“Have this pulao. I made it the way your mom makes it.”
“Did you like it? Is it like your mom’s?”
“Hmmm...it’s nice.”
“Have some more then?”
“No. No. I am fine.”
“If it’s nice why can’t you have some more?”
“I am full, darling.”
“I know you didn’t like it because I added a twist to it and it doesn’t taste like your mom’s.”
“No. No. It’s nice. Although it’s slightly different from back home.”
“Oh...home? Then what is this? You don’t consider this house to be your home? Fine, why don’t you go back to your home and enjoy your mom’s cooking for the rest of your life?”
She got up and dumped the food in the dustbin.
Moral of the story (for women): If you ask wrong questions then be prepared to get the wrong answers. So re-phrase your questions in such a way that you can only have answers in your favour. Remember, women are better communicators.
Moral of the story (for men): You can lie better. Remember how good you are in lying to your boss. Ditto at home. After all you know who is the real boss after office, don’t you? Most important, if you don’t have anything nice to talk better to turn mute. Atleast that’ll ensure a peaceful sleep!
