That resonates totally 😂

I could understand my Wife so much better if she would quit using indefinite pronouns, quit using he- she- him- her- it-
For example, in a room full of women, Wife might observe, “she said she doesn’t like her.”
(Is Wife talking about two women, or three? And which two? Which three?)

Great vignette. Thanks for the laugh!
