You must laugh!!

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Elite RM423455

What! I said, "The cat is playing with a bunny."

"What are you talking about," I asked my wife.

With that, Lorie, my wife began to laugh uncontrollably. "What's so funny?!" I demanded. She responded by telling me she had said, "The cat is laying under the deck. Isn't she funny."

This has become the joke in our family as my wife needed to share this conversation with our three children. How is it that I am the Rodney Dangerfield of my family.

One must laugh at himself. I grew up on a farm in Iowa and we never wore ear plugs in those days. The loud noise of farm equipment was experienced on most days. It has taken its toll on my hearing.

At least I have an excuse when Lorie asks me, "Are you listening to me?" "Yes dear, I am listening, I am just not hearing you."

Cindy,

I would especially hear your question because I know it would be in a very low tone. I seem to hear those lower tones better, just below the tone of most womens voices. Not sure why that is. :)

Bill,

Glad to know I am not alone.

Glad it's your hearing and not a Senior moment.  Or is it?  I see my husband doing the same thing as you.

Cherise,

Who knows it could be a senior moment as well. I am not sure of the difference of senility and loss of hearing. :)

Thanks for stopping by Will.

Renee, I have a hard time believing you hubbie does not listen to you. I guess us men have just learned this behavior. :)

Ha-ha! The power of selective hearing is alive and well in some cases Cal! Great story and one you'll never live down for sure.

You are right about living it down. I am finally seing that my family members are forgetting about it. I will try to keep my ears open and clean so I do not embarrass myself for awhile.

In conversation you often hear the phrase "you don't understand" or "you're not hearing me" when that is not the problem at all. Crystal clear hearing, knowing where the speaker is "coming from" does not mean that they feel the same way as you. If we were all the same it would be a boring place, we would not learn and grow. Making someone else in to you is not what God intended...it's all about others. Being sensitive, flexible, able to say okay, let's try it your way.
