Husbands !

               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' 😀
