Falling For Deaf Ears

(My husband is home sick from work. He is an avid gamer, and ends up playing online with his friends most of the day, with short breaks to interact with me and our baby boy. This conversation occurs when I’ve put our son in bed and my husband’s friends are done playing for a while. My husband comes over and hugs me.)

Husband: “My wife, where have you been all my life?”

Me: “In here, taking care of our son.”

Husband: “Really? You weren’t in the other room?”

Me: “Only when I was putting [Son] in bed for naps.”

Husband: “Oh, yeah. I was wearing headphones all day.”
