So lastnight out of nowhere darling Hubby says that he heard a song on the radio that got him to thinking about the kids ... I asked him what song and he said "Forever Young" ...
Being the smart a$$ that I am ... I start singing in my raspiest (is that a word) possible ... "Fooorrreevvverrr Young" ... "Foooorrrr EVVERR Young" ... darling Hubby was not impressed.
He looked at me with a serious face and out of respect for my marriage vows I stopped.
"Have you ever listened to the words?" he said.
"Of course I have ... " que music ... "FOOORRRREVVVVERRR Young" ... again, he was not impressed by my talents.
"If I pull up the song on YouTube, will you listen to it?" ... remembering that I have asked him to take part in several situations that any other husband would have said "Ask your mother" ... I agreed.
He goes to the laptop and looks it up.
...When he reads this ... he is gonna be mad at me...
The song starts to play ... and I listen to the first few words. The kitchen light isn't on (it's after 10pm) . All of the sudden I see, out of the corner of my eye, a little light go off on the counter. I look over and it's my phone. WOO HOO ... I got a text message. But wait ... I have to listen to this song. I am not the worlds best multi-tasker. OOOO ... but what if it is important. Can it wait? Can I sneak in a few texts w/o him knowing? ... I take a side step to the left. He didn't see me. He's mesmorized by the song and the scrolling photos of Rod Steward. I take another step to the left. Again ... he didn't see me.
I made it to my phone and silently picked it up. A brighter light went off ... I froze and looked up at him. He still hadn't move ... the song was about half way thru now. I made a comment about a lyric so that he saw I was paying attention. He was oblivious to my every move ... or at least I think he was.
It wasn't that important of a text ... but since I had it open ... why not reply to it. TEXT SENT SUCCESSFUL. I quietly put the phone down and walked over to darling hubby. I put my hand on his shoulder as the song ended and told him that it was a lovely song.
I turned to walk out of the kitchen and said to him ... "Bones is on, want to watch it?"
... do you think he knows???
