What do me think about chicken for dinner? Oh whoopsie.

needs hearing checked… no, not look into some kippers at the fish monger’s

Her mistake was trying to talk with him while he’s reading the paper.

She did not push the Listen Button ;-)

I feel nobody married gets to plugger age without the ability to replay the last fifteen seconds of conversation and find what they missed.

Why, when most of time there is no prior subject matter in reference to that question from wives—they just ask our opinion but NEVER reference the subject—-I speak from experience ! ! ! !

It’s called selective hearing.

It is also possible Henrietta just walked into the room wearing a new top that she just purchased and was trying to get her husbands opinion of it, thinking he noticed her coming into the room. Been in the same husband position.

I miss having a morning newspaper to read. While I paid, it rarely was actually delivered on time, or even on the right day. Was brought out by a NYC hedge fund and went down from there. Sigh.

Don’t beet around the bush, she’s vegan.

At least they are in the same room. I’ve worn hearing aids for years yet I have to remind my wife that we have to be in the same room for me to understand what she is saying. She, too, asks questions or makes comments without context. She changes subjects quickly without warning.

Dead man reading…

Yep… happens all the time.

she needs to be more specific and give him a chance to respond before moving on to the subject, but then again she is pobably just venting

Answer—“Honey, what do you think about it?” Being said in the hopes she will mention it again.

No man or woman should ever fear confrontation over a loaded question. #beentheredonethat

“Dear, I think you not only look beautiful this morning but are right, as always.”

Or both. Then you can blame the one on the other.
