While we were driving down the street, my wife, who is given to asking random questions out of the blue, asked, "What would come in a two or three gallon bucket?". Apparently she was looking for a handy bucket to mix fruit drink for events at church. Not realizing the context, my guess of "an elephant" was deemed inappropriate.

Funny and understandable. Some women start a conversation in the middle, then seem upset that you have no idea what they are talking about.

Mine is famous for mumbling some mumbo jumbo BS, then saying "sorry, I was just thinking out loud". Based on what comes out, I'm guessing what stays in is quite intellectual....

I'm surrounded by 3 such females right now. 15 year old daughter, my wife and MIL. They'll blurt chit out like they're trying to guess the answer at charades. Makes no sense 70% of the time.

Yes, been there, confused by all of it. Talks a lot to herself, gets pissed if she actually said something to you and you were in tune out mode.

I once saw an elephant ejaculate in a circus ring slinging goo all over the bottom rows.
Don't know if it was 3 gallons worth.

Yep. My g/f of ten+ years blurts out sh1t like that all the time and then gets upset when I say "I'd like to buy a context clue, please."
She goes with the, "if you knew me, you would now what I am thinking" response.
It's one of the main reasons that after 10 years she's still just my "girlfriend".

The nature of the “beast”. 😁
On occasion when that happens I’ll have to say, “whoa, wait a minute. What are we discussing?”
How ‘bout changing the subject in the middle of a sentence? A couple of years ago we were driving down the interstate and she said something like, “Oh man, that’s an ugly color for a car have you seen neighbors’ new dog?” 😳😁
Don’t know what I’d do without her though. 😊

Try 50+ years of it. But Be Well, RZ.

Road hummers tend to mitigate the talking.

Three of my dad's favorites:
Slight misunderstanding: She wants a big church wedding and he doesn't want one at all.
"She broke up with me - she said I didn't listen or something like that."
"I'm uncouth? I take you to fine restaurants and the opera - what the f*ck is this uncouth sh*t?"
Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.

A great philosopher once said that the universal correct answer to a woman in any situation is "I Understand".
After 50 years of marriage I finally leaned the truth of that.

"WTF are you talking about?" comes out of me often. The stream of consciousness thing is strong with my wife.
