It begins...

I would appreciate a cross-gender response to the following. I'd hate to think I'm being sexist.
As I've said, my wife and I will be heading off in a couple of days for a week's holiday in Portugal. This is the cue for an all-too-familiar conversation....
Wife: I'm travelling light this time with a small case.
Me: Good for you.
Wife: I probably won't even have to check it in. It will all fit in the overhead locker.
Me: That's great.
Wife: Could you put these four pairs of shoes, five dresses, two sweaters, toilet bag and three books in YOUR case?

Best thing to do is to have your own place over there, so you already have clothing and stuff ready for you.

You could probably point out that she could also put in there her items from the small case, if you simply removed all of your things and put them in, say, a small case in the overhead locker.

I suppose it depends upon how much glaring you could cope with for the whole week in Portugal.*






*Obviously, if you can't cope with much sun glare, you need extra room for additional suncream.

Wow, I've never heard of such a thing, I am dumfounded.



How very nice of her to let you have a suitcase!

[Tarquin Thunderthighs lll]

Well, the normal solution would be for you to get another bag, but I have met the lovely Mrs Kettle and she is truly delightful.

Andy Capp?  Pah! Roger, that little script up top there was worthy of the Gambols.

Battle of Little Bighorn? Where's the strategist in you? Next time, get in there first and tell her the same thing, and ask HER to put a sweater (that you don't really need to take with you) in her suitcase.

Wife: I'm travelling light this time with a small case.
Me: How marvellous! So am I! In fact, you'll probably be better at packing than me and have some extra room somewhere. See if you can fit this sweater in with your stuff.
Wife: Bastard!
Me: Now what?!
Wife: You and your Little Bloody Bighorn!
Me: What do you mean?
Wife: Don't act all innocent! I read that Beau Peep site.
