Don't remember her saying anything

so I'm working on the truck this afternoon. Reinstalling the oil cooler. After I get it in, I refill coolant and pressure test, refill oil. Start and test.

Now I'm all grease and grit to the elbows. Some in the hair and some on the knees. So I go take a shower.

The wife comes in to tell me shes leaving to go do such and such. I'm suprised. I ask about dinner and she tells me it will have to wait and that she told me she had these things to do. I'm in the shower looking at her like I don't even know her.

She sees that I am completely clueless and really don't remember her telling me anything. I tell her "the last time I talked to you was this morning before I left."

Then she gets a "I got it" look on her face and says - "you were working on your truck! You didn't hear a word I said!"

I sheepishly muttered "nope, not a word. Don't even remember seeing you this afternoon."

And she a looker too. Truck wins again.

It was meant to be funny

Not sure I know which way to take that. If I could post images on here I'd show you a pic of her working on the truck.

Often, a genius at work blocks out all distractions! Especially if he is married to his truck.

That's a funny story. I have a 4 year old son and a 5 year old daughter who both inherited my impeccable ability to tune out their mother. NOT a good thing...trust me.

In your eyes no, in her eyes yes, Get a picture of her with the truck, then you have the best of both worlds.
