Lawn Socks, Boobies, and Mirages

[Davey Do]

Okay, I'm a little hard of hearing. But Belinda's a low talker.

We're going into Target. I ask, "What are we here for?"

I thought I heard Belinda say "A lawn sock".

"Why do we need a lawn sock?" I ask.

"AN ALARM CLOCK!" Belinda replies in a normal volume.

"Oh yeah" I say.

While pushing the cart down the isle by the DVD's, Belinda tells me "My kids are boobies".

"Your kids are boobies?" I ask.

"HERE ARE THE MOVIES!" she says in a normal voice.

We go to look at the alarm clocks. Belinda tells me of an artist that stuck a bunch of clocks together to make a "mirage".

"I think the word you're looking for is collage", I corrected her.

"No, I think it was a mirage", she says.

"Oh", I replied, "It wasn't really there."

well, maybe you weren't hearing things. Doesn't everybody need a lawn sock? And while I've never met your children and I'm sure they are lovely people, maybe your beautiful wife does think they are boobies. And well, frankly I really wouldn't be too surprised if you are seeing things.

My name is not Gene Davey. Just "Davey", thank you very much AJJKRN.

Now, what is it you want me to mail?

[Davey Do]

She's right ya know.

I understand, Old Dude.

But with that particular game, it doesn't matter if you're right or left handed.

I tried looking it up, Spanked. There's no such word as lective, let alone lective hearing.

That's odd, too, because it must be pretty powerful stuff, to have saved an entire species.

[Davey Do]

YEAH!

And if you ask for them, kbrn, they don't direct you to the Lawn & Underwear Section- they'll just direct you to where they keep the clocks!

How odd is that?

You don't hear me? Or you don't listen?

Usually we hear. The health of the relationship and the reasonableness of the request are in direct proportion to how much is listened to. After listening a response may or may not occur depending on the same two conditions above. Finally, affirmative action will only happen once all these barriers have been overcome and the Steelers aren't on TV.
