Mamacita says:  On occasion, my husband and I have what one might euphemistically call “slight miscommunication” episodes.  I’m sure I don’t know why he can’t seem to understand me, but it probably has something to do with the fact that he’s a man a very busy person.

I’m busy, too, but I have no problem whatsoever understanding me.

For example:

Him:  Do you want to eat out tonight?

Me:  I haven’t eaten anything yet today.

What’s not to understand?  Of COURSE I want to eat out!

Him:  How big a tip should I leave?

Me:  It’s a buffet.

Duh.

Him:  Did you stop by the new house today?

Me:  The cabinets are beautiful!

How could I know that unless I stopped by and saw them?

There are others, but thinking about them makes me worry about his state of mind.
