My story is very similar: He puts a football game on, but ends up dozing off during it. I come in and change the channel, and he wakes up and says: "Hey, I was watching that" !!!
You two haven't learned the trick obviously. You slowly turn down the volume, then make the channel change and raise the volume a tad

I like to know where we’re going a few steps in advance so I can be on the lookout for exits and mile markers, etc. So, we’re moving right along and I ask, “Do you remember if we get off at exit 155 or 156?”
And Handsome responds: “Hmmm…well, I know this next exit coming up is where that old golf course used to be, the one where I rammed Eddie’s golf cart because he stopped on a dime and all our clubs fell out of the cart and he almost overturned hahaha that was funny...that restaurant everyone raves about is a few miles beyond the golf course…I took my girls there when they were little and 5 minutes after we left they got sick in my new truck…what a mess…now this exit is where you get off for the best used motors in town…got a great deal on a motor for the boat back in 19aught6 when the original motor finally died…clunk thud ping clunk thud ping is what it sounded like…did you see that eagle?! [finger pointing right across the bridge of my nose]. They make a swooshing noise in the woods and that’s how you know they’re on the hunt for dinner…swoosh swoosh swoosh [hand swooshing back and forth]…this next exit is where daddy swore he saw a UFO…’I see a UFO!,’ he says to momma…momma said ‘You did not see a UFO Johnny’…daddy says, ‘I certainly know a UFO when I see one, Gertie!’…which set momma to laughing so hard she sprained a muscle in her stomach and was ill with everyone the whole rest of our trip hahahahaha [slaps the steering wheel]…back in my high school days, we had a big party in that field blahblahblah…
When he finally runs out of steam 5 or 10 minutes later, do I know the answer to my question? No I do not! So I patiently and lovingly ask again…on a good day, I get an answer right away…on a bad day, he starts in again. My handsome husband is a storyteller with visuals and sounds!
Drives. Me. Crazy (but in a good way)!
@MacDUFF I think you have a keeper! The kind of men I had in my life insisted I read maps, which I insisted I was no good at, and then got mad when I confused the directions. That is my litmus test for assessing compatibility!

Yes, he's a keeper...a kind and decent man...we think we have been richly blessed and are happy to have such a good marriage.
LOL about the litmus test! I happen to love maps...paper maps...and can read them well enough...I also have a great sense of direction, so that helps. Handsome is pretty typical...he knows where he's going and does not need to ask for directions LOL. Plus, he loves all the high tech gadgetry...no paper maps for him.
Have a great evening, SV.

I was hoping someone would get a good laugh out of it, so...no, thank you! hahaha
Every story in that description is true and I had heard them before...he tells them Every. Single. Time!...except the one about his dad and the UFO...hadn't heard that one...I laughed so hard that I couldn't breathe...I was gasping and tears were rolling down my cheeks and I thought I was going to strain myself, like "Gertie!" Too funny.
Have a great day wf!

@MacDUFF... Any day but today... I am so steamed. My favorite ceramic decorative item fell to the floor and smashed into pieces! He is a bull in the China closet. (It was way up high on the wall, too) ... Because everything I cherish in the house gets broken, except the people I love. 💜
This after dear grownup daughter whines about her exceptional life one too many times this morning! This is not my day and I am so lucky and this is soooo trivial?💙💜❤️💚

@MacDUFF...LOLOL...Well, at least once he is done with his repetitious storytelling..."Every.Single.Time"...he ends up with something new, so you never know what to expect!...LOL...You were brilliant in how you described everything in such detail...his sound effects and hand movements...which adds much more drama to his storytelling, even though you may end up missing your exits!...LOL
You sound like a wonderful, fun couple (with much patience on your part...LOL)...I really do think that you should consider traveling around to various Comedy Clubs, as it would make for a hilarious comedic skit and your husband can just keep adding to his storytelling along the way!...LOL
I read your post to my husband tonight and he loved it also!.

Hey loves...sorry about your fav ceramic piece! I'm sure he didn't mean it...how the heck did he knock it off the wall?! Handsome is a bull in a china shop, too...I had a beautiful, delicate shell that I bought back in the day in Malibu Beach...such a sentimental memory. I had moved a dozen times, and that shell was never even dinged. I get married and within a year my shell is broken. I don't know who felt worse, me or Handsome!
But you're right...it's trivial in the larger scheme of things.
Hope you're having a better day today!

We could bill ourselves as the modern day George and Gracie Burns! Only I think I would be the "straight man!" LOL.
