I survived something recently. After church, my wife and I were driving somewhere. She started talking about something and it was obscure to me what she was talking about. She went on and on for about five minutes.
It was a very in-depth discussion. But it was one-sided because it was just her talking about something I didn't understand. I didn't know what she was talking about. I felt very lost.
But after about five minutes she paused and she kind of turned towards me and she asked me, "what are you thinking?"
Often this question gets me into trouble, especially when I answer it honestly. So I tend to say nothing or grunt politely. Because I was so lost and I didn't really understand what she was asking. I just kind of looked at her quickly and said "not Arby's."
She scrunched up her eyebrows andsaid, "that doesn't make any sense. What do you mean?" And I kind of smiled and said, "exactly." And I lived to tell the tale.
I said it because I was playing off of the old commercial where they would have a Arby's hat floating over somebody's head around lunchtime and say, what are you thinking? And the person would say, "I'm thinking Arby's."
I chuckled about that the rest of the day. I still can't believe I got away with it!
