Many s slip between Wife & GF Grand son to a grouche grandpa Is there any difference between 'Wife' and 'Girlfriend?' Grandpa thought for a minute and Simplified the explanation like this. Listen my dear, Wife is like a TV and Girlfriend is like a MOBILE. At home you watch TV, but when you go out you takeyour MOBILE. Sometimes you enjoyTV, but most of the time, you play with your MOBILE. TV is as good as free for life, but for the MOBILE, if you don't pay, the services will be terminated. TV is big, bulky and most of the time old. But the MOBILE is cute, slim, curvy, replaceable and portable. Operational costs for TV is often acceptable but for the MOBILE, it is often high and demanding. TV has a remote but MOBILE doesn't. Most importantly, MOBILE is a two-way communication (you talk and listen), but with the TV, you MUST willynilly listen! Last but not least! Yet TVs are superior because TVs don't have viruses, but MOBILES often do & mobiles can be easily hacked or stolen. So be wise when you grow...
