Speak no Americano

Do we even speak the same language??  We meaning "he & I"....the significant other....the spouse.

How is it that an entire conversation can ensue only to be followed by: "When do we go to your parents?" (Or insert any other detail of events to occur here)  Hello??  Did I not just say when?? Yesterday, the day before....last week......multiple times (each time you asked for clarification in fact)!

Now...asked what engine was worked on in 1988, what hockey stat from 1967, or any random obscure factoid and BAM!  The info is there before the next heartbeat.  It's mystifying to me.....mind boggling!

Take Christmas (any gift giving day really).  Wow, this is an amazing blender honey (to my snowflake friend who likes this kind of a present, skip to next paragraph).  Where did you come up with this idea??  "I always have such a hard time knowing what you want", he says.  "Choosing a gift is so hard"!  Fast forward to HIS present opening.......Wow, how did you know I wanted this??  Are you kidding me???  I LISTEN!  All year in fact......only to pounce on the perfect purchase in time for the holidays, birthdays, father's day, etc.  It's a gift.....that only women seem to have.  (At least that's my experience as I have been married twice and could have written this many years ago).

We are lonely without them & we are driven mad with them.  We speak a different language and thankfully...... murder is a criminal offense.
