Have you ever realized how often men speak and don't really comprehend the words coming out of their mouths? And then, they are surprised or angry at you when you are expecting them to know what they said and they have no recollection of it? Example:
Girl: Are you still going to help with VBS next week?
Boy: What VBS? Am I supposed to help?
Girl: Yesterday you said you would. You said, "I could definitely do that"
Boy: I never said that. Do I need to? What would I do?
Girl: Last week, when you originally agreed to help (yesterday was just a reminder check-in) you said you'd guide a group of kids.
Boy: Really? I don't remember that.
AAAAHHHHHHHH
Phone call:
Girl: Hi. Still want to hang out tonight?
Boy: Didn't know we were going to.
Girl: YEsterday you asked if I wanted to watch a movie tonight.
Boy: Really? I don't remember that...........
and so on....
Or, the "I really don't hear anything you have said in the last week" conversation:
Girl: Do you want the extra ticket to the game tomorrow?
Boy: I don't know...I'll get back to you. Is it a leftover one?
Girl: Yes. I need to know soon if you want it or not.
Boy: I wish you had asked sooner. I have to figure this out.
Girl: I did ask sooner. I asked last week and I asked yesterday.
Boy: I didn't know that you had an extra ticket available then.
Girl: Why would I ask if there wasn't an extra ticket? I believe I said, "I have an extra ticket, do you want it?"
Boy: I don't remember that.
Seriously, either he has serious memory issues and needs neurological help, or I speak VERY PINK and he speaks VERY BLUE and somehow we both need to learn to speak Purple.

Clearly, none of this is your fault. Your questions were very clear. Sometimes the Pink talk is a little subtle, but this seemed very direct to me. It is obvious that he needs some sort of nuerological therapy to restore his hearing and memory functions. Thank goodness I don't have to write a contract. =)
p.s. The correct vernacular is "I posted to my blog." Just for future reference.
Hiiiiii Emily! I'm sorry we didn't get to see you in Peoria this weekend. (Same old same old... loud, silly, boxes of wine)
Josh and I were chatting about blogging and Erika's name came up, and I found you through her!
Anyway. I enjoy your observations. I don't have a blogger account, but my livejournal is twoeyedgirl.livejournal.com
