A Translation Manual

It's your decision = "The correct decision should be obvious by now."
Do what you want = "You'll pay for this later."
We need to talk = "I need to complain."
We need = "I want"
I'm not upset = "Of course I'm upset, you moron!"
You're so manly = "You need a shave and you sweat a lot."
This kitchen is so inconvenient = "I want a new house."
Hang the picture there = "NO, I mean hang it there!"
I heard a noise = "I noticed you were almost asleep."
Do you love me? = "I'm going to ask for something expensive."
How much do you love me? = "I did something today you're really not going to like."
I'll be ready in a minute = "Kick off your shoes and find a good game on TV."
What's wrong? Nothing = "Everything."

this doesn't say women are rotten. It's a generalization type joke. Honestly most of this is true. I have a mother and two sisters. to get them to say what they mean is near impossible an' pleasin' them is almost even harder. I've had two stormy breakups, one was only my girl friend the other was my fiance, and I can tell you it was true there. I worked my butt of to do whatever I could to make them happy as I loved them greatly. My ex-fiance I cared for greatly and would have done anything for her. I changed my life goals and plans thet I had as far back as I can remember for her, so don't talk 'bout bein' sexist or men bein' rotten. there are good folk an' bad in both genders, but I've yet to find the good in the feminine gender yet. I'm still holdin' out a little hope, though.
