Actual conversation over the phone:
Me: I can’t get the lawn mower to start.
Him: You’re mowing the lawn?
Me: If I can get the lawn mower to start. What am I doing wrong?
Him: (silence)
Me: I’ve checked the gas, I’ve pushed that pumpy thingy, I’m holding in the bar and it won’t start.
Him: (laughing) You do realize I’m in New York.
Me: Well I’m not asking you to fly back home but can’t you talk me through?
Him: (lots more laughing and I think I may have heard a chortle or two as well)
Me: Why are you laughing? This is not funny.
Him: You’re funny.

Men are so mean about that stuff! Like when I called my hubby when I was lost in Penn (he was home in STL). I didn’t want him to hop a flight to the East Coast, I just wanted him to look up a map online! Thanks for stopping by site!!
I’ve got some cables if you need a jump start.
KD – Aren’t we all just funny all around! I got that darned thing started though – even through his gentle teasing. Heh. BTW – Love your blog!
Kiko – I guess I should start calling you for these problems, since you are just down the street!
