I am the Queen of overstating the Obvious

Published on June 4, 2005 By InBloom In Misc

My boyfriend told me not too long ago that I am the Queen of overstating the obvious.
He laughs and says he can’t believe some of the things that come out of my mouth.

For example, we were at a restaurant once and he was downing bourbon street chicken. I say, “Do you like it?”,
and he sarcastically says, “No, I hate the stuff. I hate it so much, I’m scarfing it down.” (What a smart a**)...

Here are some other doozies:

“Are you sleepy?” (when someone is yawning).
“Is this your baby?” (when a pregnant co-worker hands me a sonogram photo).
“Are you ironing?” (as my sister holds an iron over her blouse).
“Did it hurt?” (after an acquaintance loudly bangs his knee against a table).
“Are you going to do laundry?” (as the boyfriend holds a basket full of clothes).

and the list goes on and on...

It’s funny how I don’t really notice I do this until someone points it out to me.

At least you notice things, better to overstate the obvious then remain oblivious.

I'm the same way! My most famous line is when I ask my husband, "are you asleep yet?" and he's either sawing logs or saying, "yes, yes I am."
