Pickles by Brian Crane for July 14, 2021

The fat Earl goes “we, we, we, we” all the way to the end of the conversation.

Opal must’ve been a fan of Her Majesty Victoria of England.

My wife does the same thing.

My ex used to do that. My reply was always, “Who is we? Do you have a mouse in your pocket?” It never occurred to her to just ask me.

I have that habit too, but now that my husband is gone it sounds weird. I mean people look at me funny. Sigh, it’s hard to break an old habit. My kids say to me " you and who else"

My wife does more around the house than I do, so I can’t really object when a “we” comes up.

This is gonna get sent, friend-to-friend, all day long. Earl is the patron saint of men everywhere.

She’s all wound up and rested from the cruise, Earl!

Don’t fight it, Earl. You can’t win.

He doesn’t need to say, “We should make dinner,” or “We need to get the laundry done.”

Maybe Earl could turn this around: “How should we do that?” “What part do you want to do?” “How can I best help you?” “Would you like us to do that now?” “When should we plan to get this done together?”

Earl some lead …. some follow . Decide which group to be in ;-)

It’s a wife thing.

Yep. I do that. Drives my husband nuts.

You will miss the “we” stuff some day when it’s only you.

And there is no escape.

Earl she is talking about jobs that once you do them they’re done like painting a room. Her jobs are never ending. Make a meal and wash the dishes and a few hours later you have to make another meal and wash the dishes. Laundry has to be done over and over and so does most of the housework. And it is tedious and boring. Be thankful that your jobs once done stay done.

The lovable Roscoe would have been just great in this comic today , too bad . Maybe tomorrow .

At least she including you to share the load…lol

We should…

Someone should…

Y’all know who we mean! ;-))

My husband does the same to me lol

Women want to build a consensus. I’ll say; “I want to go to Harbor Freight this afternoon” when I want to go there but my wife will say; “Do you want to go to Joann’s this afternoon?” when she wants to go there. (As retirees, we normally go everywhere together)

I don’t mind hearing ’’we’’, it’s the ’’you’’ problem.

As in ‘’You got some ’splainin’ to do.’’ Ruh-roh.

This is the universal constant: Women using ‘we’ when they mean ‘you’.

I swear Mr. Crane is peeping in our window and relaying our daily actions.

My loving spouse says "I just had a thought’ which means “I thought of something YOU should do”.

I can imagine that on the death certificate…“Cause of Death: We’d to death!”

‘We’ should do something about that.

He still hasn’t got it. When she says, “I want to clean out the garage.” she means “I want you to clean out the garage.”

Could be worse, she could wee wee you to death.

Just agree Earl… agree and ignore is easiest. If she starts on her own, go out for the paper or something.

Earl is forgetting the Royal We, as in “We are not amused!”

All wives do that.

When my wife says*we* need to talk, she’s really saying you need to listen! ;o{

My hubby also does very little, though does more then Earl.

“What you mean ‘We’ white eyes?”

Better get a mop … that’s a lot of weee.

One of the reasons I’m no longer married.

I think WE in this case denotes a division of labor: She will think it up. and He will be expected to do it.

When I was a kid (especially in my (teens), my dad had a regular progression in his pronouncements about a project around the house:

“I’m going to….”

“Help me….”

“We’ll….”

“Now, you….”

Well Earl would you prefer Opal give you a honey do list.

It’s a joint effort….she gives the orders, and he does the labor.

“She who must be obeyed”

And the last little piggy went “wee, wee, wee, wee” all the way home.

She goes “we, we, we” all the way home!
