I am the Queen of overstating the Obvious

My boyfriend told me not too long ago that I am the Queen of overstating the obvious.
He laughs and says he can’t believe some of the things that come out of my mouth.

For example, we were at a restaurant once and he was downing bourbon street chicken. I say, “Do you like it?”,
and he sarcastically says, “No, I hate the stuff. I hate it so much, I’m scarfing it down.” (What a smart a**)...

Here are some other doozies:

“Are you sleepy?” (when someone is yawning).
“Is this your baby?” (when a pregnant co-worker hands me a sonogram photo).
“Are you ironing?” (as my sister holds an iron over her blouse).
“Did it hurt?” (after an acquaintance loudly bangs his knee against a table).
“Are you going to do laundry?” (as the boyfriend holds a basket full of clothes).

and the list goes on and on...

It’s funny how I don’t really notice I do this until someone points it out to me. ;)

At least you notice things, better to overstate the obvious then remain oblivious.

I'm the same way! My most famous line is when I ask my husband, "are you asleep yet?" and he's either sawing logs or saying, "yes, yes I am."
