Unlike my wife I can't remember what she was talking about on Feb 3rd 1987 at 2pm precisely, even though she apparently can. Neither can I remember what I was wearing on Thursday the same day, or even more importantly, what she was wearing. I'm only mortal - in fact I'm only a man and incapable of such feats. And I can't rejoin a conversation we were having at any particular moment in our soon to be 34 years of marriage, unlike she who must be feared.
Now my daughter is having a go at it.
Yesterday: "So, anyway, dad - can I?"
I thought long and hard as she waited impatiently, humming and sighing and staring at me as if I was the biggest imbecile on the planet. Eventually after about ten minutes I came up with the perfect answer, and one I'm going to use again.
"I distinctly remember telling you - absolutely not."
I haven't a clue as to what she's talking about but I think that's pretty unequivocal.
I'll use that on my wife the next time she tries to dredge something from what passes for my brain after nearly half a century.
I'll show them.
I finally finished my picture. She still doesn't like it.
hahaha and i think it happens only with me .
ReplyDeleteyou write in very interestingly i really enjoyed your way of expression .

Thank you for saying so and welcome to my humble blog. I believe it happens to all us writers.
DeleteShe's your kid ... your kids won't like anything you do, unless it involves giving them presents.
ReplyDeleteI even tried bribery but that stopped when the bribes began to be new saddles, and even a horse. No chance.
DeleteLOL!! looks nice, though i think your waves may be going the wrong way for a river...
ReplyDeleteYou're right. I erased the whole thing. It was all rubbish.
