Sounds like they would be best buddies. Of course, my DH being so terse, wouldn't have too much to say to your husband, or to anyone else.

I can fill in for terse. My verbosity makes up for it, but I do know how to be very very quiet and nice-seeming until I'm crossed.

I regularly give school staffers and administrators a sense of cognitive dissonance sufficient to give them mental whiplash, actually.

Are you good cop? Or bad cop? they wonder...


YES. I am. grin
