The Things We Say (by Sam Leo)

by Sam Leo

I think it's time we were all just honest with each other. First, as a spokesperson for the male population of the world, I think everyone should be aware of, and accept, the fact that us men occasionally say things we don't mean.

Things like:

Yes
Yeah, you look great
No, I don't think she's prettier than you
Yup, I'm listening
Of course I know where I'm going
Tastes great
It's not mine
I'm cleaning
Figure skating? Yeah, that's a sport
Cute baby
No, I did not steal your camera and take pictures of random toilets
Sounds like the transmission
I'm happy for you
I love Oprah
I can fix that
Oh
Nope, didn't hurt
Nothing better than throwing on a Michael Bolton CD, and curling up with a good book
Tonight, I just need to dance!
Nice seeing you
What? That?...Yeah, that was here when I moved in
No I don't subscribe to Better Homes and Gardens
Steel Magnolias! I love that movie!
I find football barbaric
I'm not really into looks
Blow up a banana? Guys... that's so childish
Of course I remember your name
Yeah...I think we should just be friends too
The movie was great...we had a wonderful time
Oh, I don't know... I wasn't keeping score
I understand

I could go on and on, but you get the picture.
