But I didn't really get to hear about it. Here's why - classic miscommunication. Let me explain.

Unfortunately, after we both worked all day yesterday, there were a few errands to run. Then pick up dinner, then sit down to dinner. Neal was cranky. I was hungry. Right before we sat down, Neal made this comment:

"I just haven't had a chance to relax all day."

Since he was so quiet, I figured instead of asking him questions about his day, I would let him relax.

So I grabbed a book, and we quietly ate Chinese food.

And then after dinner, he got up, sat down at his desk, called his Mom, and told her all about his day.

So I sat on the couch with my book, eavesdropping and wondering why he wasn't telling ME about it.

After he hung up, I asked him.

Neal: "Well, you didn't ask."

Jamie: "I didn't ask because I was letting you relax. You said you wanted to relax, and I didn't want you to feel like you had to entertain me."

Neal: "I wanted you to ask."

Jamie: "What?"

Neal: "I thought since you didn't ask, you didn't want to hear about it."

Jamie: "Of course I want to hear about it. You were just so quiet. I was letting you RELAX."

Neal: "I was quiet because I wanted you to ASK me how my day was."

Jamie's Brain: "Uh... what? Doesn't he realize that's a little confusing? Deathly, long silence does not usually tranlate to, 'Let's talk.' And men have the gall to say women are difficult to understand. Communication, people!"

Neal: "I'm sorry we miscommunicated."

Jamie: "Me, too."

Neal: "Do you want to hear about my day now?"

Jamie: "Well, no. I already heard about it when you were telling your mother."

Neal: "Damn."

Jamie: "I have dibs on tomorrow, OK?"

Neal: "OK."

So I'll get to hear about it tomorrow. And so will you.

In the meantime...
