Me: I can't believe you picked out that table. It is exactly what I like. Absolutely me.
Husband: You've been saying you wanted a new dining table and I thought that one looked like one you would like.
Me: I had actually stopped looking. First because you said you liked the one we have - beaten up as it is, and second, everything I have seen is so cookie-cutter; same-ole, same-ole. Plus they are super expensive.
Husband: But that one is really nice - different. I just thought I would point it out.
Me: And then the stain - that really blew me away. Absolutely perfect - I don't know why I hadn't spotted it.
Husband: Why did the stain I picked out surprise you?
Me: Honey, most men would NOT choose "washed celery" as a wood stain for a dining table.
Husband: I looked at all the colors and I just liked that one best.
Me: After all these years I think I'm rubbing off on you!
