Moon

I don't make a habit of driving my husband crazy. But, occasionally, I cannot resist playing my moon game.

"Hey honey," I say as we are as we are looking at the moon together, "what's the moon doing tonight?"

Silence follows. He's too smart to fall into this trap again. He has no idea what the moon is doing. "That's OK," I gently say, "it's a girl thing... la Luna, monthly, menses. By the way, the moon is waxing (or waning) tonight."

My husband is a science guy. He is far brainier than I am about astronomy, chemistry and physics. But, I know my moon.

It's easy ladies:
  1. Look up at the moon.
  2. If the left side is lighted up it's losing or waning.
  3. If the right side is lighted up it's waxing or increasing.
Few men believe these rules work, but the system is foolproof! So go ahead, drive your guy crazy. After all, it is our moon.
