Default Men why are they so calm

My husband rang me on my mobile whilst I was out shopping. He asked me where I was, I explained I was in Toys R Us buying our 6 year old little boy a few birthday presents its his birthday next week. He then very calmly asked me how big the present was, did it come in a box, was it something I thought I could sell on, or take to Australia. I asked him why he calmly said oh
We've got the visa. I was so shocked the woman in Toys R Us offered me a cup of tea. Well I've had to wait all day to tell someone, so I'm telling you all We've got it. I'm now in major panic, and my husband has casually carried on working. Men

CONGRATULATIONS


Mine was the same. I cried with relief when our agent told me, the hubby just said that's good and went to work.

4 months later and nearing the end of the house sale, he has started to realise that we ARE going and is now excited.

Men indeed !!

it's because we men are calm, casual, calculating and completely rational, unlike you women.
