Husband just informed me that he uses words like a scalpel. And that I use words like confetti, throwing out handfuls and letting them fall to the floor, hoping some of them land on their target.

So he uses words to cut people open and make them bleed? Dude - this is NOT the hallmark of a good conversationalist.

lol. I think he meant that he chooses each word with precision and care, which he does. ;)

alternatively: he uses words like a butter knife and you use them like a semiautomatic machine gun?

I much prefer to be showered with confetti than scalpels ;)

DH and I have disagreements over what makes a better writing style - he prefers lots of descriptors (ala Tolkien), while I prefer minimalism (Hemingway).

Welll, I don't know if "confetti" is entirely fair. Maybe more like one of those New Year's party popper things that's filled with streamers and confetti - I mean you can aim those.

OK, so which would you rather be armed with--an epee or a shotgun?

It's so fun when Husband points these things out. I never think of this myself, but when someone you've been with for ten years mentions it, it's always worth a thought. ;)

I want to roll around in it and make sand castles of your metaphors.

*laughs and laughs*

It would be so awesome if one of the sand castles had, say, a carousel room in it with a ceiling made of toga-clad winged mannequins.

Clearly! *grins* Though I'm sure it's a bit maddening sometimes, too.
