Yes, I will take a round of hearing aids... because someone here needs one, or ten. This is where boys get their real practice of being husbands... because they just practice not listening while they are young... so by the time they are of whatever age to find the woman of their dreams... . they are already well versed into tuning out any form of information that might be heading in their direction, they are professionals. I am thinking... that when they get their graduation certificate from Grade 12, they should also receive a diploma in "Proficient in Intently Deflecting All Female Input that Prooves to be Useful" as well.... now there's success.
I am not sure how many times this late evening that I asked/told the boy to be off,... it's time to go to bed... but sure enough... here he was, there he was, here he is, there he is..... non-stop. It didn't matter that I now withheld the Playstation 2 for the rest of the summer,... he didn't hear me anyways... It took me, holding his hand and escorting him down to his room/prison cell to get him to go to bed.... where he will stay until the AM... when once again.. he will not waken to my lovely voice .. that will sing to him... until his eyelids flutter.....
The Pip on the otherhand, just likes to exercise her tongue.. if she doesn't like what she hears, she just sticks out her tongue... and that way I know she has gotten the message. Other people.. would take offense to that... but not me.. it's a form of secret language between girls and parents.

I wish my mother-in-law was nice enough to have thought of my husband's hearing problems when he was a boy. Then I wouldn't have to be the one to hold his hand to get him do take out the trash.
