Maxims for married men...

Our grandboy had his BIG birthday party today....The one with family and friends...More adults were there than kids. It was the stereotypical three ring circus....Lots of yelling and laughing. And the kids were even LOUDER.
We grownups gathered in the kitchen.
Conversations about all kinds of stuff...
We happened upon three maxims of marriage that seem to be universally true...
Heed these if you are a newbie husband or hope to be one of long standing...
1) Once you are married to one, you are married to ALL of them. (This may take a while to realize, but the light bulb will illuminate and you'll say to yourself, "Ahhhhhh...so THIS is what he meant...")
2) NEVER return home from anywhere and not call/text as to what might be needed to be picked up at the grocery/hardware/drug store....There is ALWAYS something that is needed.
3) This is the biggie, and the sooner you understand this one, the better. And not just understand, but learn to accept the following fact. MEN SPEAK AND LISTEN IN HEADLINES AND WOMEN SPEAK AND LISTEN IN FINE PRINT.
There are more maxims, of course. But those are just the headlines...
