Those positive uh-huhs we get when our man is not listening can cause him or us some trouble.
I guess we should preface all conversation with HEY YOU!!! while banging on a cymbal. Then say what we want to say.

Sorry to hear you’ve got the sniffles! Sometimes I just pretend to read if I want him to chat with me

Hi there Quilly! Oh it feels so good to sit and visit here for a while. My goodness how I have missed this.

What a funny and cute story. I love how you always tell these. And boy how I can relate. It is fun to tease about.

just reverse the roles and you’ve got me and my, erm, significant other. he always tends to asault me with all kind of stuff when i’m doing something important, like reading.

I know someone like that. No wonder there are those of us who answer our own questions.

Oh Quilly, I love the way you share these special moments with us. How I look forward to one day having someone in my life like that.

In the meantime…. I deleted that promise to post that you commented on. Thanks for giving my head a shake, lol. I don’t have time for that! Sometimes I forget that I’m cutting back on commitments so I can do other things I want to do. Wheeeeewwww, that was close. Thank you, dear friend.

Nice try Bazza, but we aren’t expecting you to multi-task. We’re expecting you to listen to us.

Bill — ah, but you’re safe. You’re single and aren’t expected to listen.

Lisa — ask him to paraphrase what you just said. He’ll have to think to do that!

Dr. John — I would ask OC to answer that, but he’s up to his eyebrows in deadlines right now.

Betty — I once burned dinner black. Didn’t notice the house was filling with moke until it came between me and the words on the page!

Melli — well, he was reading and I was leaning against him with my head on his shoulder and I didn’t really have anything better to do at the moment.

I agree with Dr. John

You know… sometimes I just have to EXCUSE OC for his behavior. You were rubbing his beard WHILE HE WAS READING!??? LMBO! You guys just crack me up!

I am like that too. When I am involved in reading a book a marching band could come through the living room and I would not notice.

At least he tried to provide the response he thought you wanted. Mine pulled a different tactic, and listened to every single word, repeated them back to me, and it was still obvious he was ignoring me. At least I can complain if he’s ignoring me. I don’t know what to do with someone who ignores me by paying attention to every single word I say!!
