Two conversations with Vince that are worth sharing:
First, we were coming home from town and we were talking about something.
Vince: I was talking with Keith and he said (and I’ve already forgotten what Keith said)
Me: Who’s Keith?
Vince: Smith.
Me: Keith Smith? Who’s that?
Vince: Mike Smith!
Me: But who is Keith?
Vince: I don’t know. I’ve been calling him Keith all week!
The diagram above shows the house and behind the house is the driveway and then the shop and then the coop. The little chickens from Tractor Supply live in that coop.
Last night I had already put the chickens up for the night. It was almost dark and I looked up and saw something strutting across in front of the house. At first, I thought it was Rita but she was in the house. Here’s my conversation with Vince:
Me: What is that in front of the house?
I got up and walked to the door to see what it was. It was a chicken!
Me: It’s one of the little chickens!
Vince: Did it get out?
Me: I don’t know! I can’t be sure! What would you say??
Seriously . . did it get out?
Vince went and got the net, we caught the chicken and put it back where it was supposed to be. We had hoped not to have to put a cover over the fenced in area where they’re play but today, he put a cover over that area. They’re all little escape artists.
I am 100% convinced that he is not listening to what I’m saying but I don’t think he’s listening to what he’s saying either! It’s selective though. Let me mention that I ordered yarn and he heard and comprehended that . . and has a response! 🙂

You can have my husband,,,,he interrupts and corrects 95% of what I am telling him. I finally give up and walk away.

My DH has very little patience and when I’m telling him something that happened to me during the day he will appear to listen for 5 seconds and then say ” yah yah get to the point”. It’s not like he has anything to do or any place to be and this will be the only time we even get a chance to say ‘boo’ all day. Guess my activities and day are not interesting enough. lol

My ex had a habit of asking me questions first thing in the morning before I’d had any coffee and my brain was still asleep. Then he’d be annoyed because I didn’t answer immediately! I told he over and over not to ask me questions first thing in the morning—to let me wake up first! He never listened.
