I’m making dinner and it’s going to be really good. It’s in the oven . . 15 minutes more and it will all be done. Here’s the meat before I stuck it in the oven.
Lamb to Roast
I walked into the dining room and Vince was sitting there eating chips.
Me: Vince! Why are you eating? Dinner is going to be ready in 15 minutes and it’s going to be really good!
Vince: I’m not eating! I just wanted something crunchy.
To me, if you put something in your mouth, chew it and swallow it . . you’re eating!
Then, he wanted to know what I accomplished today. Let’s see . . besides the obvious . . taking care of chickens, dogs, cats, 3 loads of laundry, picking some veggies in the garden, cleaning one of the bathrooms, and making a yummy dinner ..
Me: I found a really cute pattern online and then I went digging through my stash and found yarn that would work!
Vince: You bought yarn?
Me: Is that what you think I said?
Vince: You found a pattern and you ordered yarn!
Me: Nope, not what I said but since that’s what you heard, I’ll be happy to do it! 🙂
Good grief! Either I don’t speak very clearly or I don’t hear very clearly .. probably both . . but communicating with that husband of mine is downright comical.

Love to hear those conversations. It makes it normal for me when I try to communicate with Toby. He hears 1or 2 words then focuses on them. Then tells me I said something that was totally different. I just shake my head.

Husband conversations can be both interesting and challenging. I’m right with you in understanding this situation.

Why do men want to eat just before dinner? Tonight, after spending an hour in the kitchen cooking, I told my husband that dinner would be ready in 5 minutes. So he comes into the kitchen and gets out a huge slice of sourdough bread and takes it back to his computer. And he was hurt when I objected. I don’t know whether he ate the bread, but he ate every bite of his dinner. He wouldn’t have dared leave any!

There is such a thing as carb addiction. I help Toby struggle with that. It’s very difficult.
Bon says
I always look forward to your conversations with Vince. What a hoot.

I drove three hours to attend a quilt show that is an annual event for…..then three hours home. After being gone all hubby says he is “starving” and wants to know when we can eat. He wanted a hamburger so I graciously drove him to the hometown drive-in to purchase him a hamburger. I had just been gone for nine hours and had no plans to cook a meal. By the way…the quilt show was definitely worth the hours on the road.
Cilla says
I do believe I would have picked him a sub on the way home…….

Oh my! Sounds like my house! Snacks 15 mins before dinner’s ready, and conversations, or something that barely resembles them, and make no sense as well.
