The opposite of fact…

By robfrank

…is not necessarily fiction. It could merely be opinion.

A friend of mine recently married a divorcĂ©, who had had children in a previous marriage. One weekend morning while they were lounging in bed, my friend’s husband turns to her and says, “You know, when we have kids, we won’t be able to do this again for years.” Pause. “And it’ll be totally worth it.”

When my friend recounted this story to me, I said to her, “The first part of that statement is a statement of fact.”
