We’re pretty sure we don’t have it, and we’re pretty equally sure that Miss Social Butterfly has it, has always had it and will always have it. Or so we think; so we tell ourselves. But!

What do you think those 4 words that I have mentioned would be?

They are: “WE NEED TO TALK.”

Those four little words scare the crap out these wonderful gentlemen we love. Now I realize if someone says to us ladies, “We need to talk”, we would just say, “OK, what do you want to talk about?” And be very interested in what needed to be said.
