So if your like me you try to at least pay attention to your significant others interests/hobbies. Well my girlfriend tries at least.
This happened a few days ago and I thought I'd share:
I'm in the kitchen looking for a snack after coming in from being out in the garage/workshop.
My girlfriend comes up and hugs me from behind and says,
"So how's the Kenmore coming along?"
I reply, "Huh?" as I turn around and look at her.
"The project..." she says.
"I have no idea what you mean", as I shrug my shoulders and shake my head, completely lost.
"Oh you know!" she says becoming more frustrated as the tone of her voice changes.
I just look at her with that deer-in-the-headlights look.
"The ah, um, remote truck, eh, thingy project!" she says moving her thumbs like she was holding a transmitter. The gesture did it for me and I nearly choked on the soda I was drinking.
I hug her and say, "Babe, Kenworth is a big rig, Kenmore is a brand of appliances sold by Sears".
"OOohph!' she snorts and we both crack up laughing.
So roll on big fridge, ROLL ON!
Like I said, she tries...
