If necessity is the mother of invention, then why do they say,
”father knows best?”
Do not ask me. Ask your father. “But dad doesn’t know anything.” Okay. I’ll give you that. Hey Ken - where are all of your towels?
I don’t know. I was wondering the same thing myself.
See what I mean? Ken is funny, he is kind, he can arrange coals on the grill and cook up the best steaks ever, but sometimes my husband simply has no idea. Step into my living room. Into the middle of any conversation.
Hey mom - where’s my blue baseball belt?
Probably attached to the baseball pants you can’t find either.
I didn’t ask you dad. Mom - have you seen my belt?
Did you look in your room?
Yeah - I thought I did when I was looking for a t-shirt. But I didn’t see a blue belt.
All right. Let me help you. Hey Ken! I found your towels! Kyle - you can’t take dad’s towels and throw them on your floor. You need to at least hang them up.
I have an idea! How about we install hooks all over Kyle’s floor. That way when he throws stuff, he’s bound to get one on there.
Yeah dad — if you did that then maybe you would know where your towels are.
That’s not funny, Kyle.
Hah! I found it!
The hook?
No! The belt!
Where was it?
Attached to the pants YOU said I couldn’t find but I DID.
Today’s Life Recipe: Smile during the dig. God was totally onto something when he made female cats the hunters.
My hubby so does this to me. He will always ask me where something is and if I say I have no idea (it is HIS) he says well it’s not where he thought it would be so I must have moved it!!!
Gotta love them though!
Your writing makes this annoying incident funny and light. But I can totally relate. My dh even calls me to ask me where his stuff is. But if I am missing something, he can always find it for me.
Hope you are having a terrific day.
Oh, I just love his haircut…Yeah I use to hear all the time, ask your mom, or ask your dad.
So relate to what you are posting about today.
I don’t know what my family would do without me.

Funny, clever narrative ~ a conversation most of us Moms can surely relate to! ThanX for stopping by my blog. It’s a pleasure to “meet” you.
Thank you for stopping by my blog! I love new folks!!
See, now that conversation with my ex would have been similar, just replace a grunt where all adult male words would have been.
Erik will ask me where something is before he even looks himself! It drives me NUTS. The girls will walk past him to come and ask me where something is. I need to start charging per question.
Ah yes, I can identify with this post - and in our household, Mother definitely knows best!
Back from two glorious weeks beachside in Malaysia!
yeah… don’t I know how this goes.
I teach my daughter that all men are bad! She is seventeen. How long do you think that will keep my safe from having to kill the little suitors! LOL
Hi!!! Thank you for visiting me!!! My sister is also in TX (Killeen - her husband is a Lt. Colonel in the Army at Fort Hood).
I love your blog and site!! I SO wish I could cook - I just don’t have it in me, but being the mother of 2 little ones, I guess I need to find it! The man of the house is the cook!!! My sister loves to cook too - I will so tell her about you and this site!!! I’ll visit again!!!
Hey Debbie…I left you a present on my site…I will understand if you don’t post about it, but I wanted to let you know you’re stories are appreciated!
Thank heaven for kids!

You know what drives me crazy? When my husband asks me where something is before he has even begun to look…irritating!
LOL! This sounds SOoooo familiar. Our oldest son is notorious for hoarding the towels in his bedroom. If we run out of household towels, we know there is probably a pile under his bunk beds.
That was cute!!
