lolol. Nice change up, thanks Cherri. Heres the ones that describe me best:"I CAN'T FIND IT."
Means: "It didn't fall into my outstretched hands, so I'm completely clueless."
"OH, DON'T FUSS, I JUST CUT MYSELF, IT'S NO BIG DEAL." Means: "I have actually severed a limb, but will bleed to death before I admit that I'm hurt."
I was going to do some minor surgery on a small cyst on my arm with an exacto knif, but my wife was horrified and insisted I see a doctor. In retrospect, I could have done a better job and far cheaper than the doctor did.
"I HEARD YOU." Means: "I haven't the foggiest clue what you just said, and am hoping desperately that I can fake it well enough so that you don't spend the next 3 days yelling at me."
I have a way of remembering and playing back my wifes last 5 words when quizzed while watching a ballgame, but my wife caught on after a couple of years.
