When You’re Right You’re Wrong
Sometimes it just doesn’t pay to be right.
Our friend Cha painted the Wombies dressed up in costumes for Wombat Day 2012. Fraz is dressed up as WALL-e, Twink is dressed up as Ariel from The Little Mermaid, Binky as Batman (Wombatman?), and Winky as Mario. The original painting of Cha’s Wombat Day 2012 can be seen on her Dontchawannadream blog.
“when you’re wrong, you’re wrong – and when you’re right, oh boy are you wrong!”
There’s many a married man will identify with those words ! 😆
Hey, you’re wrong Duncan!!!!!
Well I am not always right Loon, but then again I am never wrong either 😉 lol
You’re just neutral, then?
lol Andro what a googly
Yes I know 🙂 lol
Are you having fun
Soma? xxx
If Duncan is wrong, does that make him right, Loon?
Men can’t be right, right?
Only when we keep our mouths closed.
lol Peter experience speaking ? 😆
I think it might be best not to comment.
Physically safer, I believe. 😉
Definitely!
We can always say what we like but just be very careful in the process 🙁
Very very careful.
And a lot of unmarried men can identify, too!
Don’t mess with women, especially Wombie women!!!!
Nooooooooooo never
mess with Twink 🙁 Ouch
She who makes the food makes the rules.
That is a lot like “Momma ain’t happy-Ain’t nobody happy”. Graham had a sign like that in her kitchen. I think it is pretty universal…
It would seem so!
I believe I’ve learned my lesson.
Awww hugs Binky 🙂
Thanks, Soma. I needed that.
Maybe if you start eating you’ll forget all about it. 🙂
Eating also helps.
Maybe the more you eat, the less you’ll remember Twink being mad.
Really though, she needs to get over it.
I think Twink is over it. She made us a very nice supper.
That’s a good sign that she got over it alright.
And a tasty sign, too!
When a female cooks a good meal for you, you can trust that all is well. 😉
Then all is well! Twink gets mad at us a lot, but it doesn’t usually last long.
This has been a Wombania public service announcement.
I try to help out when I can.
This is brilliant
Art of yours Cha 🙂
Well done you…
Yes, a very nice one of Cha’s. The disguises everyone wore were inspired.
I love all the details she put into the costumes.
And Binky is standing on Ariel’s tail!
I saw that. Perhaps, it was part of her outburst today…
It was entirely unintentional on my part.
Oh, I know it was.
And it was not an expression of feelings or closeness.
*Snort* Are you sure she knows?
I’m never sure what she knows!
This cartoon is brilliant Peter, it certainly had me laughing out loud that is for sure, but then all of your cartoons have that wicked sense of humour attached 🙂 Brilliant work my great friend and thank you for always entertaining us with your skillful art 🙂
Thanks, Andro, I’m glad you could see the humor in it.
Always 🙂
Hahaha…
I can neither confirm nor deny…
and I did not even say that much, okay?!
🙂
Mom’s the word!
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Female!! they are too emotional.
Fortunately I have a cool sister 😉
It can be a touchy matter!
If mom isn’t happy, no one’s happy. It’s and old rule but one that has always applied and always will apply.
Have a terrific day. 🙂
You’re right about that!
The only thing I am ever RIGHT at is when I am turning my car THAT way!! W.C.C.
That probably applies to a lot of us!
Sometimes there’s no right answer.
Perhaps silence is the right answer.
The wise did say that silence is gold 😉
And that’s why they are wise.
Binky, how could you not know you can only say “I told you so” to those in the generations after you?
Well I say it to Winky. But I suppose I should have known better. I don’t think I’ll make that mistake again.
sometimes it only takes a “look” from us to let you know how wrong you are!!!
🙂
And Twink knows that look well!
I will have to be careful too as I always ask for more pancakes 🙂
Asking for more food is a compliment so you should be fine.
Good advice to hold someone’s marriage together.
Or hold one’s family together.
Or hold one’s teeth together 🙁
Yes, that too!
The first mistake was saying “I told you so!”
I don’t think I’ll make that mistake again.
THINK before you SPEAK 🙂
Good advice, definitely.
Sometimes it is best to be right and QUIET
That is very true.
Silently opinionated is the answer 🙂
With emphasis on the SILENCE.
If the lady of the house is not happy, then the rest of the household won’t be….it’s just the way it is.
That certainly seems to be the case around here.
All you can really do now is just let her cool off….and no more ‘I told you so’s.”
Wise words indeed!
We need to be careful around here me thinks? 🙁
Only if you wish to live.
I don’t know how many times I’ve kept “I told you so” to myself. I don’t think anyone likes to hear that, man OR woman! 🙂
You’re right. I will keep my “I told yous” to myself from now own.
Cha did a great job on this painting. It is my other favorite of her wombie series.
It is definitely another great one. That’s the problem with Cha’s paintings; they’re all so good.
Anyone she paints looks just like them…she’s a brilliant portrait artist.
Yes she is, which is a very difficult task.
I know, and she can make it look so easy too…but it’s not as easy as it looks.
No, it’s not. I think drawing/painting faces is one of the most difficult subjects since you have to be very accurate in your portrayal.
Yes, one or two small mistakes and it would look like someone else.
Or even worse and look like no one at all.
Awwww you’re so kind and cute. Love you, guys 🙂 Thanks a lot, Peter, for sharing my sketch. It means a lot to me. And all these compliments… I’m blushing right now.
You’re very welcome, Cha. It’s an honor to be able to share your work here. And you certainly deserve all the compliments.
It doesn’t pay to be right when women are involved
I would agree with you.
Does that mean I’m RIGHT???
I hope Twink doesn’t find out…
I don’t know, but whatever you do, don’t tell her “I told you so”.
Especially if both of you are wrong and let’s face it, YOU both will be wrong so no point in mentioning it again, I think? 🙁 Okay? 🙂
Yes, I think it’s best we keep this to ourselves.
Hahaha! He’s finally learned the secret of relationships. It may have taken him awhile but he ended up getting it. 🙂
I find relationships with the opposite sex rather perplexing.
It’s a case of learning fast or else? 🙁
Learn or die.
Brilliant sketches and dialogues are hilarious. 😀
Thank you, Indrani!
Oh my goodness 😯 I don’t think i will ever understand what Binky says….Fraz how are you after that super dose of philosophy lol
That sketch by Cha is super cute
Girls confuse me. And Binky confuses me. So I’m double confused!
Make it a triple and you can have an extra pancake 🙂
That sounds a lot better to me!
You’re WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, am I right?
So right I’m wrong.
Two wrongs don’t make a right and three wrongs don’t either, actually four are pretty close to being right but then usually it is just wrong again so best not to bother in the first place 🙁
The only way you’re right is to assume you’re wrong, and even that might be dangerous.
lol. That’s all I’m saying.
The less said the better.
And only laugh quietly too 🙁
Or to yourself.
Could not have said it better myself. Good thing he has figured that one out.
It took me a while, but I figured it out.
You need to learn how to argue Binky. Bein’ right has nothin’ to do with it. You have to learn to be loud and obnoxios…then you win.
I think Twink might be able to surpass me in those departments, too.
I think you need to tread carefully on the obnoxious bit 🙁 Just in case…
Better to be cautious than dead.
If a man is wrong and no one is around to hear him, is he still wrong?
http://joycelansky.blogspot.com
I’m guessing yes!
Yes he is always wrong Joyce 🙁
Very True. 🙂
Indeed.
Sounds like Danged if you do Danged if you don’t.
That ‘s an accurate assessment!
I usually let my wife know when she is wrong in a nice way and she still gets upset. When I start a sentence with “no offence but” I don’t understand why she gets offended. I mean the nerve of her!
Perhaps if you left off the qualifier and just started with the main clause. . .
As George said, that is a deep secret in relationships.
Someone needs to write out those rules in a handbook.
We learn whole life 🙂
Only the young think they know it all.
Well, even I’ve been wrong at least once!!
Yes, even the best of us are sometimes.
