What do you say to that?!?!

[undermidnight]

So, I finish my bowl in the driveway after arriving home from work and I proceed indoors. As I always do, I went over to give my wife a kiss. I kiss her on the forehead to be polite (since I just got done with a bowl). I informed her of that fact and I didn't want to gross her out. She then says:
"Nice to know that pipe smoking is more important than kissing me"
I informed my coworker of this and he suggested I should have replied:
"Well, at least I am not as picky as you are" :mrgreen:
Anyways.. what would you have said?

Well i'm the same boat as Rothnh... I havent been married as long as him I bet, but after 15 years of marriage she doesnt really complain anymore about me "stinking" LOL

 

[madmurdoc]

Being considerate to her feelings means that pipe smoking is more important than her? Odd

 

[papipeguy]

There was a time when I would have said, "The pipe gives me unconditional pleasure." Now, after nearly 30 years of marriage I would shut up and walk away. Next time you come home just shake her hand.

 

[captainprophesy]

she said she could still smell Grandpa's pipe in the room and it reminded her of him, like he was still there with us.

That right there is beautiful and sad at the same time :|

I would have said with a smile and a wink in amatter in fact tone as I turn and walk away "Oh, Great minds think alike" then turn back and kiss her again and then turn away then in a low but sturn voice simply say "now whats for dinner?" If you live to see the next day she truly loves you. :rofl:

That's exactly why my mother gave me some Cherry Cavendish. My grandfather used to smoke a pipe, and she always remembered the cherry smell from when he smoked.

If she said "Nice to know that pipe smoking is more important than kissing me".
You could have said "Only because it was lit Hun, I'll lite you up later!"

I"ve been married for 47yrs and know the signs when they are picking for a squabble, you did good by saying nothing, you ain"t gonna win Fact Jack. The old cajun

 

[instymp]

+1 old cajun. Don't say something stupid like; " the pipe is always hot"

 

[judcole]

There are times when the best thing you can say is nothing at all.

 

[captainsousie]

Wise words from The Old Cajun. Sometimes even "yes dear" or "yes Ma'am" are 2 words too many.

 

[mluyckx]

I'm with Cajun and Jud on this one.....
Smile, wink and walk away....
But I like TopD's answer... I'll try it next time and see what happens ;-)

 

[undermidnight]

Nice responses guys!! This was intended to be a tongue-in-cheek type thread. No worries between my wife and I.. even though she did say that. Yes, I thought the wise thing to do was not say a dad-burned-thing!

she said she could still smell Grandpa's pipe in the room and it reminded her of him, like he was still there with us.

Beautiful.
