This brings up another related topic. My DH is an excellent marksman. In fact, he's the firearms instructor for his dept. You'd think someone with that much coordination could pour a bowl of cereal without leaving cereal all over the counter! I couldn't hit a bull in the butt with a banjo (the reason I own a shotgun, not a rifle), but I can pour cereal without making a mess!

Orchid, so true and so funny!!! I'm gonna have to steal that one.

Men's reflexes are slow, too. My hubby can knock over his drink and just stand there and look at it while I come up off my chair and lunge to right it before it all pours out on the carpet!

Did you clean it up?

He was in his "TV watching box". when he is in a certain box, nothing else is in there with him, so in his mind--nothing else exists at that moment , until he gets out of the Tv watching box. To find dog puke on the floor. then he will wonder how it got there.

My dh and I recently went to a marriage seminar, and this is how he described men's brains., whereas womens brains are like balls of wire, where every thing is connected to to everything else. this is also why (generically speaking of course)women are so good at multi tasking, and men can only do one thing at a time.

No, I'm smarter than that. I managed to run from the office, through the cat gauntlet, around the kitchen table, grab Kane's collar (to keep him from going out with Jax) and get Jax out the back door before he could puke.

I've usually been to the kitchen, grabbed a towel and returned before it hits the floor and he's just then saying whaaaaat happened?

Funny but true story - I used to clean house and babysit for a lawyer and his wife. One night, the dog urped on the LR rug. He carfeully vacuumed it up, stuck the vacuum back in the hall closet. A week later, his wife and I were destroying the house, trying to find the source of the stink - THAT HE COULDN'T SMELL!

Men. Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em. Have to admit I am married to a really wonderful guy.

So am I, but next time I think I'll just scoop Jax up and deposit him in DH's lap. Maybe then he'll notice.
