WIFE: How was your day?
HUSBAND: What’s that supposed to mean?
WIFE: Yikes. Must’ve been bad. Sorry.
HUSBAND: Sorry? Why would you say that?
WIFE: Because you had a bad day.
HUSBAND: No I didn’t. My day wasn’t bad. It was good… or at least fine.
WIFE: Oh, okay. Then I’m glad.
HUSBAND: You don’t look like you’re glad.
WIFE: You don’t look like you had a good day.
HUSBAND: Are you calling me a liar?
WIFE: With the way you’re acting, I’m not calling you anything.
HUSBAND: Oh, so now I’m “acting?”
WIFE: Is there anything I can say that you won’t take the wrong way?
HUSBAND: I’m not taking things the wrong way, you are.
WIFE: I just asked you how your day was.
HUSBAND: And I told you.
WIFE: Right, you said it was good.
HUSBAND: No I didn’t.
WIFE: Uh… I said “Sorry you had a bad day,” then you said, “I didn’t have a bad day, I had a good day.”
HUSBAND: I think I know what I said better than you.
WIFE: Then tell me: how was your day?
HUSBAND: What does it matter? You’ll just hear what you want to hear anyway.
