    I think this could be a website though. Like True mom confessions, because I know I have many, many things that I could add.

    Not just hearing, they also can't see. My brother who lives in my attic can't find things in our own refrigerator. These are not tiny hidden things, these are things like bread or mustard. He will say "Where is _?" and I will say "In the fridge." He will then say "Where?" and I will then say (after having had this conversation a number of times) OMIGODIT'SINTHEFRIDGE!!! DOIHAVETOCOMEINTHEREANDPOINTTOIT?!?
    Then he will say "Sor-ry!" like I just killed his pet lizard.

    A coda to the fridge thing:
    He: Where is the mustard?
    Me: In the fridge.
    He: (looking blankly inside) Where?
    Me: BEND YOUR KNEES!
    HATCHET IN THE MUTHAFUCKIN' HEEEAAADDD!!

    (You are making me realize a benefit of being a flake and a screw up who is also deaf myself.)
    T, I so loved your chapter in the S is for the W book. LOVED IT. And I was thinking: Why is there not more of this? Anyway, thanks for all the writing below.

    Seriously! And if the TV is on, FUGGEDABOUDIT! I have actually heard B say things to hubby like 25 times (louder and LOUDER each time) and he just sits there and then goes "WHAT??!!!!" Arrrrgh!

    I'd argue that it's not just husbands, but (I'm very sorry, men) dudes in general. I've had this happen with bosses (me: So and So called, the report is due today. him: What? Hey, have you heard when the report is due?), uncles (me: Uncle B, how was your day? him: you're gonna hit the hay?) etc….I'm sure women due it, too, but in my oh so humble opinion, I think that women actually have a higher sense of hearing. I mean, I can hear a disgruntled sigh from across the house.

    My husband is actually deaf in one ear. I always suspect he has selective hearing. It has caused MANY real arguments between us. "I said, what are we having for dinner?" "A winner? Who? Did we win something?" "God damn it! Are you listening to me?" "How many times do I have to tell you I AM DEAF, I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!" "But you did hear me this time…" "What?" OY!

    It's not enough that you two are so funny on MamaPop? You're this funny in PRIVATE, too? Redistribute the wealth, people! A little humor socialism is in order.

    I totally agree! You guys are awesome!
    Husbands are deaf. Totally and completely deaf!
