So often times I think that I am wasting my time talking to these subjects. I believe that either they don't hear me or don't care. Nothing I seem to say gets through. However, every now and then, some thing they do reminds me that I am making an impact. One such thing happened last weekend. I was going somewhere and it was early. DP was up as usual playing on my iPod in the living room. So after taking a shower and putting on my shorts and socks, I realized the shorts I had on wouldn't work for where I was going. So I took them off and realized the shirt and shorts I wanted to wear were in the laundry room in my clean basket. So I walked out to the laundry room to get them in just my undewear and socks. Calm down ladies, I know you are picturing me in matching grey underwear and socks as you read this. SuperMom is probably rolling her eyes as she reads it however. As I pass DP in the living room, he looks up and says "That is quite the look". Now if you don't realize it, that is the exact comment I would have made and have made to him many of times. So you see at that moment, I just smiled and thought "they are listening". I was very happy to hear him say those few words. It means he gets my sense of humor (or at least he knows it is supposed to be funny). If he would have started the comment with Well Sir and said "Well Sir, that is quite the look", I would have lost it.
