HONEY, WHERE ARE THE.........

Last night I was watching an episode of “King of Queens”. There was a scene where Doug (the husband) walks into the kitchen to ask Carrie (the wife) where the scissors are. She loses it and rips into him. She asks him why is it that, if he uses the scissors all the time and that they are always in the same spot, he feels the need to ask where they are. If she wasn’t there, would he never use the scissors because he couldn’t ask her where they are? I totally identified with this scene. Why is it that once you are in a relationship you suddenly become the keeper of all things and that it is your job to know where everything is? I have been going through this for over ten years with my husband! We have lived in our current house for about seven months now and yet he still doesn’t know where the dishes go on the occasion that he unloads the dishwasher. It is funny that he knows where they all are when he needs to use them!

The other day he called me all frantic because he couldn’t find his new heat resistant gloves that he had bought earlier in the week. I told him that I had no idea where they were and that I had never seen them. I always get the same response from him, “Well, I left them on the… (fill in the blank).” As if he is accusing me of moving them! Because we all know us women have nothing better to do but keep track of everything!

Okay, so I admit that later that day when I came home I remembered that I did move them, but maybe he should put his crap up so I don’t have to move it!

I just get tired of the same old questions every day! “Have you seen my badge?” “Where’s the remote control?” “Where are my keys?” and on and on!

Now, I can’t say all men are this way. My brother is a lot like me and his wife is the one who misplaces everything. It just seems like there is always one partner who can’t get it together!
