He Fir Hal o wha I sa

Translation:
Hear first half of what I say

Uggggh. I am exasperated.
Today Abby is coming over to play with Sierra. They doubled up on their schoolwork yesterday so they could play today.
I asked Mike to put the bike rack on the car so he could bring Sierra's bike back home from Abby's and bring Abby's bike so they could ride around here today. I told him that the bike rack was on the side of the house next to the basketball hoop.
10 minutes later I looked outside from upstairs and he was carrying the bike rack that is broken. I asked him about it and he said that I said it was the one on the side of the house. YES, I did say that, but I also said the side of the house next to the basketball hoop. Do you see where this is going? He only hears the first half of what I say. This is not a new revelation to me, I am just now blogging about it.
Hmmm. I need to think about this for awhile and see how this could benefit me somehow. I'll get back to you...
