Title: Want a good laugh?
Post by: joshbjoshb on December 30, 2013, 10:07:36 AM
A telemarketer called me to follow up on some charity commitment I agreed upon.

Wife: "Who is that woman you were talking to?"

Me jokingly: "A friend of mine".

Her upset: that's very "nice", because you are never consider me being your friend.

Me... .scratching my head until it hurts!

Honestly, I didn't.

Can you suggest what would have been a good validation answer?

"It must feel really lonely not to feel like we have a good connection with each other."
