Women are especially gifted in foretelling the future – they have an uncanny ability to “know” what someone is going to say next.
For example, Mrs PB always knows what I am going to say next. When I am (unjustly) accused of dropping my clothes on the floor instead of folding them neatly or putting them in the washing basket – she always prefixes it with “…and don’t bother to deny it…..”
How could she possibly know what I was going to say ???
Damned clever these women.
