For some time now I believed that I would spontaneously combust. My ex- husband told me I would. Or was it that he said he hoped I would? It doesn�t really matter at this point. If I do, I guess it really doesn�t matter if I�m wearing clean underwear!
I have noticed for some time now that men say things there are totally idiotic. I remember in one instance where a guy I dated tried to persuade me to believe that he was a child prodigy. He claimed he was a pianist, touring the world at the ripe old age of five. I checked on his story, glad I�m not gullible!
Then there are the men who believe that all women are idiots and can�t remember anything. One day I stood in front of the television to make contact with a man to make sure he was hearing and understanding everything I said. I told him that the next day we had a meeting to go to after work. The next day rolled around, he came home and laid down for a nap. I appeared in the doorway, all ready showered and dressed. H asked why I was dressed up. I said that I told him three weeks prior then again the night before about the meeting. He laid there and told me that was not possible because he never heard about it. He said I must have been talking to myself, or dreaming!
After a few other men pulling this �you were dreaming� thing, I decided to carry around a small tape recorder. Then I could play it back to them and they could hear me explain things followed by them acknowledging me. It didn�t take long before they would yell at me and tell me to turn off the tape. If I whipped it out before a conversation, they would say they wouldn�t listen to me unless I promised I wouldn�t record it.
So, do men really think we are that stupid? Or do men just think that they are so sly that we will believe that we must have been dreaming? Sly or not, I still make eye contact and in many instances, I still whip out my tiny tape recorder! Thank God it hasn�t spontaneously combusted!
