O.K. Honey the gloves are off…

Ladies I’m looking for your comments too. I know that you have a wealth of information you want to share about your man.

  • Why do all of his new jackets and shirts have oil stains on them when he doesn’t work on the car? And all his old ones are in pristine condition
  • Why does he only wear the first four or five shirts in his closet? I have to put all the clean ones at the back so that he rotates them more
  • Why does he wear his new sneakers for gardening when he has five old pairs he keeps for odd jobs? He never throws his old ones away
  • Why does he spend hours playing a video game when he can only shop in ten-minute intervals?
  • Why can’t he multitask? He makes one trip to the bank and comes home, then goes out to the grocery and comes home and then goes to …they are all on the same route
  • Why does he approach all problems analytically? If I give him cooking instructions they have to be done to the last millisecond and the exact temperature.
  • Why can’t he spend more than a minute on any phone call. Hi, good, thanks, how are you? Here’s your Mother!
  • Why can’t he replace an empty toilet paper roll, or put the toilet seat down. Sometimes I’ll have to replace the toilet roll from all three bathrooms at the same time
  • Why does he wait for the last minute before shopping? “Pretty poor selection this year honey” (he says every year)
  • Why after living in a house the same amount of time does he still have no idea where we keep everyday items? Where do we keep the plastic bags?
  • Why does he flick the channels on the TV like there is no tomorrow? Perhaps the selection will change?
  • Why does this phrase apply? “never put off till tomorrow what you can put off till next week”. It will be warmer next week?
  • Why can I change drapes or pictures in a room and he doesn’t notice for weeks or months and then says “is that new?” Once he looked at a picture for a month before he said, “Is that new?
  • Why does he say, “this is your window of opportunity” when he isn’t going to need the computer and he knows that I want to? He is going to take a nap.
  • Why does he still love me? I don’t know but I’m glad he does.

    I’ll add some ammo to this already great list:

    How come a man can never find what he wants in a closet? “Honey where’s my x?” is always answered with, “Right in front of you…”

    Or how about, why do men feel the need to blow things up, burn things, or bring everything down to junior high humor? I feel my forehead protruding…

    why is it that men complain when they have to “babysit” (their words) their own children .. it’s not babysitting when they are the fruit of your loins!!

    why, when it is time to do something for the kids (bathe, put to bed, etc) does my husband say “you are their mother” .. and that means what?? He is their father .. guess fathers can’t do these things?

    Chanin. Don’t forget he’s just a big kid himself!
