We need high-def, she said, as soon as she saw the new television.
Not we’ll see next year, or when Phoenix freezes over.
No, she actually said go get it. First she agreed to the new television, and now this. I don’t remember for sure, but I think I had to sit down.
It’s so surprising because she’s been the sensible one for so long. Be careful or you will catch a cold. We can’t afford that pack of Tic-Tacs. You missed a spot of dust there in the garage.
What’s next? Let me have lunch with a swimsuit model? Own stock in Best Buy? For now, I will have to cross that off my top fantasy lines my wife will never say. Here are the top 6 in no particular order:
“Why don’t you go away with your buddies for a weekend?”
“You sleep in and I will get all the garbages from the house.”
“You’ve been staying up late at night. Why don’t you get yourself some surround sound?”
“I signed you up as a taste tester for Hostess products.”
“That van seems uncomfortable to you. Why don’t you consider an upgrade?”
“That’s OK. I hear that spilled chili in the microwave makes it easier to clean.”

You didn't mention ME… but I guess it is still an okay post. ;-P
Flat screen and HDTV all in one day. What's next? A sports car? Non generic cheerios?

I wouldn't hold your breath for any more of those statements. Although you might not have any need for them when you spend the rest of your life enjoying high def on the flat screen.
PS- As a wife sometimes I try to throw in some comments just to watch my husband's look of astonishment. "Why don't you go hit some golf balls" or "Go ahead and turn on the baseball game, I'll go make some brownies." I have to get my entertainment somewhere (after all, we don't yet have high def).
