Miscommunication-ish
Yesterday LG finally decided that she wanted a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse birthday party. I found the party stuff in a catalog, but I want to look around town to see if it’s available here before I order it, because that usually tends to be more expensive. And plus, I can wait longer so I know how much stuff to get and don’t have to overbuy.
So this morning at breakfast, I told Mike that we were going to go looking for party stuff today, but not actually buy it - just see if we could get it so I’d know whether or not to order online, since that needs to be done pretty soon since the birthday party is in 2 1/2 weeks.
He has a church staff meeting this morning and I need him to go to the bank before I go grocery shopping. So before he left he was talking about when he was going to go to the bank and asked if I could wait til later today. I told him I wasn’t going to the store today (meaning, of course, the grocery store). He was happy to hear that because it meant he didn’t have to rush to the bank between the meeting and the staff lunch. He got ready and left.
LG and I were sitting on the couch reading a book and I looked up and saw my car driving off. The only car we have with a car seat. The only car I ever drive (because his truck scares the crap out of me). I drop the book, grab the phone and the following conversation ensues:
K: Did you just take my car???
M: Yes, you said you weren’t going to the store.
K: I said I wasn’t going to the grocery store. I told you we were going to look for party stuff today.
M: Oh. *sigh* Turning around.
K: Thank you.
We hung up and a few minutes later he came back in with a sheepish look on his face, got his truck keys and left again.
Men. lol!

Heh. My Mike would do the same thing no doubt. He tells me to spell it out in black and white if I want him to get it right!
At least you saw him driving away…
