        Yeah but we’re usually thinking about nothing or nonsense (would a hippo beat a killer whale in a fight?), which we don’t want to admit, so you think we’re thinking about other women.

            Sometimes. For me, the real answer is usually too long.

            For example I’ll list 5 things, and she doesn’t understand 4 of them. So I spend a few minutes explaining one of them, at which point she will realize how boring it is and lose interest. After a few times she will stop asking.

            I learned that the correct answer is short and simple. Like “How lucky I am to have you”, “What to cook for dinner”, “What is that smell, it might be me” or maybe just “work”.

            Also, it has to match the facial expression I had right before she asked. Sometimes the hard part is to figure out what that was.
