MALE SPEAK1
FEMALE SPEAK2
by: Pixie Stephenson3
Succotash/msikwatash was very popular during the Great4
Depression... Now, used as a hodgepodge of quips for a5
Great Smile on any occasion... like now. 6
Not to be confused with "Chicken Soup for the Soul" 7
No, 100% pure literary Succotash/msikwatash 8
Book design of MALE SPEAK FEMALE SPEAK 9
by: aeps 10
Compilation of cyber succotash (msikwatash) from a Dr.11
Phil Website Savvy Member's observations of life. 12
MALE SPEAK from backside cover title to middle of book13
printed upside down. LOLz 14
FEMALE SPEAK from cover title on front side to middle15
right side up. 16
(That's an inside secret as technically works either17
way and more than one way to look at like most18
things.) 19
Men aren't the only ones who learn to say "You're20
right" and "Yes Dear" until the coast is clear. 21
This book is not 100% accurate yet 100% funny to those22
who have met the men and women between these covers...23

MALE SPEAK 25
Men think in CD's (Certificates of Deposit et al). 26
Women think in "see these" and those and... 27
"Are you ready?" 28
Translation: "It's almost time to go and you're not29
ready." "Now hear this" male personified alarm clock30
and helpful observation. 31
However, if man forgets to say, since women begin to32
count on hearing, "Are you ready?" Well, let's just33
say, can bend men out of shape if a woman is not ready34
and women get defensive which could equal a squabble.35
These tips to avoid squabbles for all our sakes. 36
Dr. Phil I think has said, "Get use to it." Due to37
Male/Female manufacture wiring differential "being38
wired differently". It's a two way street that women39
cannot change men and vice versa. 40
MALE SPEAK 41
"Do you need another purse?" 42
Translated: If you don't buy you'll have money to put43
in the purse you already have. That's why I've used44
the same billfold for over 5 years.45
MALE SPEAK 46
"Matching shoes, too? Is less still more?" 47
Translated: If you don't buy matching shoes you'll48
have money to put into new purse you just bought. 49
MALE SPEAK 50
"Yes" 51
Translated: Often means I really don't want to yet I52
don't want to be nagged or fight. Listen to intuition53
that you cannot believe he said yes. Actually, a54
unisex phenomenon both male and female should make55
note of. 56
Likely, will regret his going or doing when he57
transforms into a two year old wanting to go home58
right after getting there especially if he has other59
plans. Persons involved with sports fans refer to TV60
guide schedule to plan or change plans accordingly. It61
is what it is. 62
If he sees you sporting new shoes and purse he'll just63
think you just want him there for his money or arm64
candy. Don't take personally and just fear based since65
money doesn't grow on trees and often men see this66
before women do. Unless man serving in Congress or67
some other governmental position with hands on68
taxpayers economic purse strings. 69
Men have non-essential "have to have's" too yet that's70
different. "Get use to it." However, over one-third of71
USA in serious credit card debt, including our72
government, from money mismanagement and the leading73
cause of divorce "and" government off course. 74
MALE SPEAK 75
"Sure... Let's talk about it." 76
Dream on... Notice male expression that rarely matches77
that statement. Notice that "When?" or "How about78
right now." Is not mentioned. Men retreating to cave79
until coast clear is actually sometimes the best80
thing. Allows for a cooling off period so things not81
said later regretted from forcing the issue. 82
83
FEMALE SPEAK 84
Women bundle things since a woman's work is never85
done. 86
Men make bundles of laundry.
Instead of helping wash men prefer fun.
Ohhhh... Men just want to have fun.
Yes, men just want to have fun.87
FEMALE SPEAK 88
"Honey, can we stop by the mall a minute." 89
Translated: The minute is the time it takes to get out90
of car to mall door. Men do not confuse this time with91
time spent "at" mall that often gets lost in92
translation by men. Return the favor and deal with it,93
please. That sale might be saving you $$$'s on those94
Boxers or BVD's etc. How magnanimous is that since95
likely she'll be washing, too... Unless you want to96
wear undies with racing stripes, or have some97
unexpected Cheer added to your life being thrown out98
with the wash, I'd suggest you wear a "Yes Dear"99
smile instead. 100
FEMALE SPEAK 101
"Honey, can we stop by the grocery store a minute." 102
Translation: Necessary ingredient to make dinner not103
at home. Saving gasoline will put more dollars into104
your wallet. Women bundle chores since a woman's work105
is never done and love to outsource to men on rare106
opportunities. You are experiencing a rare opportunity107
and if men make a scene may discover, literally,108
nothing for dinner since (guess what) first was at109
grocery store. 110
FEMALE SPEAK 111
"Women were born to shop?" 112
Translation: Women secretly wonder if male propaganda113
spread around like one of those cyber rumors...114
Although, that explains the need for all those pairs115
of shoes with soles worn off to find sales to save men116
money. Since men were born to flop on or plop on sofa117
instead of shop. Or just haven't gotten the memo that118
men have two legs and arms, too. Barring glass119
ceilings many women would pay to flop and plop, too.120
Women have noticed too that stores are like a crowded121
zoo from parking line to check out lines.122

I enjoyed reading this, you have a lot of wisdom here, communicated with a kitchen-table intimacy. You are right, men and women do things differently, and resistance to fact is unreasonable. I love my husband and he loves me, but on some things we agree to disagree.

This is great Pixie, it had me smiling while I read it. Some very good tips to learn when handling men.
Love, your big Sissy Joan

Interesting and humorous.
This is an interesting beginning and had lots of dry humor. I didn't notice any grammar problems. I wondered why you double spaced. I think this is a good start, but I feel it needs some polishing.

Suffering Succotash!
Got any spare polish to polish up with?
Not to sound like Sylvester the cat
However, suffering succotash...
I just broke out of writer's block
and not stocked up on polish yet. -
Thank you for your input Mr. Andy Stephenson
The reason set up as it is because will be a small book with just one instance on each page with perhaps a complementing theme related photo. A stocking stuffer book for young adults up.
