Heck I didn't even go to my own wife's bridal shower, when we got married, to help load up gifts, because I had gone fishing that day. I had promised to be back by such and such time to help out. But, any man knows that such a "promise" is really more of a "I'll consider it", IF the fish aren't biting and IF it starts raining and IF the boat won't crank when I unload it, etc...
That was me, too. Heck, after ten years, it still means the same thing. (with anything I am doing)
wife- Please be in at "x" o'clock.
me- sure, babe.
wife- I mean it this time. I need you home at "x".
me- gotcha (as I'm trying to make my escape out the door.)
wife- SERIOUSLY!!!! I MEAN IT!!!
me - Aye, be in by "x" o'clock, aye.
wife- Ok, sweetie. Have fun and good luck.
Fast forward to several hours after "x" o'clock when I finally get in:
wife- YOU SAID YOU'D BE IN AT "X"!!!!!!
me- Sorry babe, lost track of time...
wife- HOW DOES THE MAN THAT I HAVE SEEN LOOK AT THE SKY AND BE WITHIN FIVE MINUTES OF THE ACTUAL TIME LOSE TRACK OF TIME!!!
me- Well, your incessant texting kept me from looking up, so I lost track of time.
wife- WHATEVER!!!! What do you want for supper?
me- I dunno. Hand me a beer, willya please?
