How TRUE!!
I'm sitting here, tears rolling down my cheeks, laughing so hard DH comes over to see what's so funny...
He doesn't get it!
When I was in high school, I worked for a time at a men's clothing store. I was instructed on the first day not to describe certain shirts as pink but as rose, because men will not buy or wear pink shirts [emoji38]
I'm surprised that the guy's side differentiates between pink, violet, and red. To Himself, pink IS red, and the violets would get divided up between red or blue, depending on which one was closer. SEEING color isn't a problem. Describing? That's a whole 'nuther game. [emoji38] Like me trying to describe something technical like computers or electricity...
On the other hand, Kayelle, folks who are born near the ocean don't understand how the rest of us can actually love being inland. I know I'm not a city mouse and would never want to live in The City, but I loved living in our outlying suburb in Ohio. Big lots, farmland still in that suburb, but real farms about a half-hour away...as was the Lake. Lake Erie isn't an ocean, but I can't see Canada so it was always good enough for me. Besides, I hateHateHate the sticky feeling you get from being in salt water. I'd rather walk along a beach on a freshwater body of water and smell the country air.
I've lived on the West Coast since 1975 and I can count on one hand the number of times I've even waded in the ocean. There's just too many things living out there that would like me for dinner, so I admire the water at a distance.
Yeah, Addie, but how's his math?
