Over the holiday I realised many times that my lovely husband wasn’t really listening to me when I was telling him something fascinating and important (honestly they were!) I could tell by the glazed expression and the zombie-eyed stare that he gave me as he feigned alertness and interest. When questioned he came up with the following excuses. They all started the same way; Sorry but ... I had water in my ear. (He was nowhere near water at this time!) A lady waved and distracted me. (She was actually waving at a waiter!) The smell of the bug spray made me sniff. ( Considering I used the same spray and I didn't sniff. Ladies you catch my drift!) The twins walked by. (Before all you men out there leap to his defence- they were male twins, not busty blondes in bikinis; who actually turned out not to be twins at all or even related in any way!) I'm just taking in the ambience. (Absolute rubbish!) I was distracted by your beauty! (Cottoned on to my displeasure and trying to soft soap me!) And my particular favourite; A fly flew by! (Classic!) · · You must admit even the most banal of reasons can be quite creative! Thought for the day; Happiness is a moment alone! (LOL) ·

Brilliant! Very amusing and very true!! The 'twins' excuse is my favourite though. Sometimes, I think I could get my husband to agree with anything when his expression becomes 'glazed' 😀
