Three in one day, you all sure are special!
My dear, sweet spouse was reading my blog this morning and decided to bring to remembrance some occasions that I have told my children to "Just forget it." Obviously, I had forgotten these occasions and they are far and few between (such as numerous requests for someone to do something and I finally give up and say "Just forget it" and then do it myself). So I became irritated with my husband, not for bringing out some of my faults but for the fact that he can give examples of things that I have done wrong but he cannot recall simple things that I have requested that he do (such as putting mail in the mailbox or writing out a check for Pumpkin Pie's lunch that week, etc...). How can a man remember something as trivial as a phrase used sparingly but he cannot remember to pick up his socks that you nag about day after day!
He then remarks, "how did this get turned into an argument about what I do wrong?" I respond, "I'm a woman, that's what we do."

Men! You can't live with 'em and you can't shoot 'em...well, I guess technically you could, but...well, yanno :) I think this is one of those traits that "comes with the penis" as we say around here - things like selective hearing, selective memory, and "The Man Look" (I'm sure you're familiar with "The Man Look", it goes like this..
Him: "Honey, do you know where the (insert item here) is?"
You: "Yeah, it's in the bedroom."
Him: "Oh, OK, thanks" as he goes off towards the bedroom to get item. When he reaches the doorway, he takes one step into the room, closes his eyes, turns a complete circle, and says
Him: "Honey, are you sure it's in here? I can't find it.."
You: "Yes, I just saw it, it was sitting on the table."
Him: *silence for about 10 seconds* "I've looked, and I don't see it anywhere"
You: *grumbling under your breath as you stop whatever it is your doing, cross the entire length of the house & climb the stairs to the bedroom*
Him: "I looked, it's not IN there"
You: *walking over to table and picking up item* "What is this..?"
Him: "Huh, I just looked there and didn't see it..." *looking dumbfounded*
You: "Go figger..." as you go back to resume whatever was interrupted. "The Man Look")
