Funny Ha-Ha

For the past month or so, I have been retreating out to my layout in the garage 2 to 3 times a week after the wee babes are in bed. I always tell my wife what I am going to work on that night. (ie I'm going to be laying some track tonight, I'm going to do some wiring... that kind of thing.)

Last night, I got the feeling that she had long since stopped listening past "Honey, I'm going out to the garage to". I thought I would test her.

"Honey, I'm going out to the garage to do some grass."

She didn't hear me. When I was relating this to some friends we met for breakfast I got a quick KICK under the table.

It was well worth it.

Perhaps now she'll listen a little more closely. Next time say something like, "Hon, I'm going out to the garage to wrap your christmas presents!" Selective hearing:mrgreen:... mine does it too.

Remember...it's for fun!
The spouse of a model railroader might think "I'm going to do some grass" merely means "I'm making some scenary". :)

An ambassador once felt the same way about the attention spans of guests in receiving lines. He tested it by smiling sincerely, shaking their hands and murmuring "I murdered my wife today."

Not a single person noticed except one, who replied: "I'm sure she deserved it."
