My husband, my biggest kid
So most everyone in our house has a bit of a cold/sore throat this week. Nothing major, but enough that the kids and husband are just a bit crankier than usual.
Last night, my hubby came downstairs to complain that he can't find our cough drops ANYWHERE.
"They are in our bathroom" I said.
"No, I looked THREE times, they are NOT there."
"Yes they are! Remember, I put them up on the shelf so Christina wouldn't keep eating them!"
"NO! I swear they are nowhere to be found. I LOOKED!"
So, as usual, I went upstairs to find them, because, for some reason, my husband just can't seem to find things even when they are literally right in front of his nose.
When I went into our bathroom, this is what I saw (please ignore the mess):
Do you see them? I will zoom in:
Still no? OK, maybe a little lighting will help.
Yup, I think we have spotted the item in question. Hmmmm, I didn't have any trouble finding them. Did you?
I was back downstairs, with the missing cough drops in hand, in about 1.2 seconds. My husband wanted to know where I hid them.
"They were exactly where I said they were. And they were in plain sight."
"No, you had them hidden."
And this is not even close to being the only time this has happened. He can NEVER find anything. He tells me we have no milk, and I find it smack dab in the front, center of the fridge. I just don't get it. Is it my husband? Or is this just husbands in general?
Anyway, after I had a good laugh at him, I told him I may have to write about this incident in my blog.
He looked at me, completely unimpressed and sarcastically said "Yeah, that would be the best blog entry EVER!"

So funny!! Your pictures made me laugh out loud! I think it must be husband's in general. My husband can never find anything either, even if it is staring him in the face ready to bite his nose. Never mind actually having to move something out of the way to look-forget it! Even after I tell him where it is, he still can't find it and then I walk up behind it and grab it before it bites him!
Sorry everyone is feeling a little under the weather.
We have a saying for this at my house. It's, "They were behind the milk." Because, when my hubby opens the fridge, if what he wants does not immediately jump out and bite him on the nose, he hollas. "We are out of so and so." I then stroll in, push the milk to the side, and there is whatever it was he was looking for in the first place. *sigh* Men!
It is men! All of them. This happens at my house all the time. Doesn't make me like it any more though.
Hey- you tell him that this IS the best blog entry- ever! I think it's every man. And every woman's biggest pet peeve.
Unconsciously, he probably avoids all pink items as they are usually feminine products.
ahahahahaha I saw them in the first picture! My husband doesn't do this as much as my eight year old! UGH I could just tear my hair out sometimes. Drives me batty. Tell your husband I think this is a GREAT blog entry! LOL
Ugh! I seriously think it's genetic! My husband is like the absent minded professor (my blog today, case in point). Tell Hubby we're on to him! :)
If you get a minute, Irene, stop by my blog, okay? I've got a little something there for you!

I noticed them INSTANTLY when you wrote that he couldn't find the cough drops. I was all "there they are, on the shelf in the pink/red bag."
Sadly, I do not possess this power to find things in my own home. I'm the one searching high and low and then making my husband point to that thing that was right in front of me all along.
Husbands never can find anything, it must be something in their DNA or maybe they are just helpless. LOL Cute story
Well, it IS funny! Cracking up that he accused you of hiding them--hopefully his delusions are just fever induced!
It's a husband thing. Mine can't find anything in the fridge if it's not sitting front and center on the top shelf. He doesn't appreciate my tone when I suggest he might want to bend down once in a while.
YOU ARE SOOOO RIGHT! This happens to me at least 1X per month.
I did a post recently very similar! Nope, it's not just your husband. My kids have the same problem!
I've been there - many, many times - with my husband. They can not find anything -what is up with that? Hope he feels better soon - take care - Kellan
Mine, too, Irene. It's unbelievably irritating. I think it's learned helplessness or something. You would think I regularly buried stuff in the back yard in a shoe box before asking him to find it for me. He acts as if there is no way he could ever possibly find anything without help, so there's no point in trying. Ahhhhh!
LOL... my husband does the SAME. They should be friends!
Haha! Now, he must be annoyed with this blog entry...
That`s men for you,just typical,hehe:o)
I seriously don't know how my husband even survived on his own! Somehow, I became the gate keeper of ALL things and am supposed to know where EVERYthing is and am RESPONSIBLE for anything we can't find.
I love the spotlight shot. So funny...
Sometimes I think men feel as if thee is a conspiracy against them, that we seriously hide things from them. How paranoid is that?! It's a Mars/Venus thing, I guess.
TOTALLY...that's exactly how my husband acts!
Believe me, being THE ONLY woman in a house full of boys this happens at least once a day, if not more, in my house.
My mother-in-law has a great line, she says, "Well not everything can be in front" meaning sometimes you have to MOVE something.
In this case, that was clearly not needed.
Perhaps you should suggest a visit to the optometrist.
LOL!
Oh My....this has to be a HUSBAND thing! IT is EXACTLY the same way in my house. Normally when he opens the fridge I automatically say..."Honey, what kind I help you find"...because he can't find anything. I often joke with my daughter that if I die before he does....she'll have to take my place and find things for him!
I really don't know how they would survive without us!!
And I wonder how they survived before us :)
