If you had the power to teleport, where would you go and why?
elcome to the Nagasawa version of the televi- sion game show Family Feud! I’ll be stepping in this week for host Steve Harvey. Now let’s
get started. In a survey of 27 married men from Wahiawā, we asked this question: “What should you never say to your wife?”
Here are the top 10 answers:
No. 10: “When are you going to do the laundry? I’m all out of clean clothes.” Obviously, saying this to your spouse will shorten your lifespan by about eight years. It could also mean you’ll be wearing clothes from the hamper for the entire week.
NATHAN KAM
PR Executive, Pearl City
“I’d go back to my younger days and spend more time with my grandparents and family. This pandemic has put a lot into perspective, including the fact that life is short.”
ALYSSA DETWILER
Video Editor, Honolulu
“I would teleport to Peru because that’s where my family is from and I’ve always wanted to visit and see my culture. Plus, not having to take a long flight to Peru would be amazing.”
TASIA RAMOS
Admin Assistant, ‘Ewa Beach
“I would teleport to South Korea because I love K-pop, K-dramas and Korean food.”
BLAKE CAMERON
Automated Logistical Specialist, Schofield Barracks
“I would travel to any place where an occasion — like weddings, holidays or events — is. Being in the military, I miss out on many things.”
No. 9: “What are you cooking for dinner?” Very similar to No. 10, there is an underlying question depending on her answer. Meaning that if she’s cooking a dish you don’t like and it shows on your face, you’re on your own for the next three meals.
No. 8: “Did you do something to your hair?” This is actually OK to say unless it is a week after she had it cut and styled.

Be Quick T But Don’t Rush
hough we had to slow down in many ways over the past 18 months, we still had to move forward. Yet, to me, even in slowing down, it
seemed we also had to go faster as there was more to do, more to think about and more to navigate.
If your life is such that you are still handling a lot, remember the difference between moving quickly and rushing. When you are moving quickly, you can still be mindful and thoughtful along the way. When you rush, you tend to be more mindless and thoughtless.
Don’t slow down too much, though, because if you become overly mindful you will tend to overthink, stall and procrastinate. Find the balance.

No. 7: “Would you like to try some of my dessert?” You can kiss whatever you ordered goodbye. Plus, you can’t say “boo” about it lest you want complete, uncomfortable silence on the drive home.
No. 6: “Is that another new pair of shoes?” Idiot, of course it is! The fact that you used the word “another” in- dicates that you’re keeping track, which is a no-no anytime you’re talking about your wife’s shoes.
No. 5: “Happy anniversary!” Not good unless said on the day of. Saying it a day early or saying it belatedly is unacceptable because surely you should remember the anniversary of the happiest day of your life.
No. 4: “How was work?” Nothing wrong with this pro- vided you have the next hour and a half to listen to how her day went. And whatever you do, do not look at your phone or turn on the TV.
No. 3: “Do you know you have a dent on your car door?” Either she genuinely doesn’t know or she was hoping you wouldn’t notice. Both ways, you lose.
No. 2: “What do you feel like eating?” Like a good law- yer, never ask a question you don’t already know the an- swer to. Although in this case, I already know the answer, which always is, “I don’t know. What do you want to eat?”
And finally, the No. 1 thing not to say to your wife:
“No, it doesn’t make you look fat.” Never, ever say this if it is preceded with even the slightest hesitation.
