My husband came home last week and said (and I quote), "It's so sad. My colleague's wife's mother died. SHe was like, 90, I think. You should send them a sympathy card".

Dutifully, I go down to the card shop, pick out a card, tell them how sorry we are, and mail it the other day.

Yesterday, my husband has an email from the guy's wife. Turns out, her mother is DY-ING. My husband MISUNDERSTOOD THAT somehow. And instead of taking that hit, in the email he reply he put, "sorry for the miscommunication". Like, MAYBE MY WIFE HEARD ME WRONG.

Hello. No.

I didn't hear anything wrong.

I will be composing an "I'm sorry, I have a jackass for a husband" reply to her somehow. But, I'm really afraid of sending it in the mail.
