30. remember important dates
31. remember your friends and relatives names
32. realize that a cold really won't kill them and they don't have to take to their beds for a week to treat it.
33. understand that if the house is a mess and you clean it, we will suddenly become very attracted to you.

35. understand that they will never play x-box better than their 12 yr old nephew/niece

38. answer the question "what are you thinking about?"
39. admit they don't know how a machine works at the gym

42. understand why bars/clubs have ladies night
43. multi-task
44. realize that we really don't care about the stereo system and the difference between thx and dolby digital. (at some point it really does sound all the same.)
45. stay calm around a screaming newborn
46. realize that the correct answer to the question "does this dress make me look fat" is an immediate "no honey you always look great."

this of course is all in fun so if you are easily offended remember it is a joke thread!

I used to get mad at this too unit I realized that the holder for the toilet paper is so deeply recessed into the wall (old house) that he can't reach into and around the t.p. to push the holder into the holes.

Cut him some slack then . . .

I do have a leaking refrig and a leaking washing machine though . . which have been leaking for over a month.

And the cold water does not work in the downstairs bathroom and has not worked for 15 years.
