On Saturday my wife informs me "I have to go Bangkok tomorrow".
I respond "OK, thanks for letting me know. But why just the day before?" in a slightly annoyed tone. She works during the week and is only home on weekends, and when she has plans for a weekend activity, I typically find out at the last moment. I then ask "what are you planning on doing?".
She responds "have to go to hospital for laser skin treatment. Have to get up early 4AM."
I say "but why do you only tell me the day before you go?"
She responds "I tell you long time ago."
After a little more probing, I am reminded that she made an appointment about 6 months ago, and the hospital is so busy that June was the earliest they could take her.
Skip to 6AM Sunday, and I wake up to find that she is still snoozing next to me. I nudge her awake and ask "what are you doing, I thought you are supposed to go to the hospital in Bangkok at 4AM?"
She responds "no, I go tomorrow" and rolls over to sleep some more. So now I am thinking she must have meant she is going on Monday, not Sunday.
Skip to 9AM, she has prepared breakfast for us as usual and afterwards appears to be getting ready to go somewhere. I ask what's up and she says "I getting ready for van to Bangkok".
So now I am getting a little more annoyed and wondering where this is all leading to. More probing ensues, from which I find out the actual plan. Today she is going on the van to Bangkok and will stay overnight at her sister's house. Then on Monday, she will get up at 4AM to go to the hospital. Sheeeesh!
Anyone have similar experiences in trying to get a straight answer from your significant other here?
