The Proof Is in the Period Talk

This weekend, Mr. W and I were watching an episode of House Hunters International where a newlywed couple was searching for a rental house in Florence. As we drooled at the footage of the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio bridge, Mr. W suggested that we move to Italy temporarily. That maybe he could find a movie shooting over there to work on.

"But I wouldn't have any friends," I said. "I think I would have a hard time."

"I'll be your friend," he told me.

I laughed and waited for some sort of proof.

He turned to me and said in a higher voice than normal, "How was your last period? Did you get cramps like I did?"

Ah, men... Of course that's all we women talk about when we get together. Makeup and menstrual cycles. Just like they taught all of you guys in boys' finishing school. Such a simple species we womenfolk are...

  1. I wish I could have been there just to hear Mr. W say the word period, in that context.

  4. If you have a little time, you should look at this: http://www.haveninparis.com/. If anything, it provides good eye candy for that move to Italy, where you can talk PMS all day long! ha.
