Solomon had more wives than I can count, and perhaps that was why he came to this wonderful piece of wisdom. It's easy to say something, but once you do, you can never unsay it.

I did not have to ask her because as she cooled down her chuckling, she
began to explain why she was chuckling. I didn't want to hear it. 

"If you can fix that problem," she said, still chuckling, "I have a list
of problems that I would like you to fix." With that said, she 
continued chuckling. 

At the time, I did not find it worth chuckling, but I did realize I had
dug a hole that I'm not going to get out of very easily. 

Still chuckling, she continued, "Which problem would you like to start
with? You can pick whichever one you want." 

Trying to smile as best I could, which at the time was quite tricky, I
said, "I was just speaking parenthetically. I'm just a little upset 
that our politicians don't do the work that they say they're going to 
do." 

"That's okay, and I understand," my wife said, "you now can set the
example by taking this list and begin fixing one problem after 
another." 

This is why I am very careful what I say out loud. Somebody is always
listening. 

As we were sitting there, I was reminded of what that wise old King
Solomon once said. “In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: 
but he that refraineth his lips is wise” (Proverbs 10:19). 

Solomon had more wives than I can count, and perhaps that was why he
came to this wonderful piece of wisdom. It's easy to say something, but 
once you do, you can never unsay it.
