What Did I Do Wrong?
It wasn't a bad day at work. I'd had better,but I'd had much worse.The drive home was okay too.All in all I was in an okay mood considering I'd been up since 4.30am and just done a 12 hour shift.How all that was about to change.
I walked into the house and gave my girls a hug and kiss.Then I turned to Gill and there it was.
INSIDE THE MIND OF A MAN,by Gill Mclean. Read this!, I was ordered.Gulp!
"Have you ever really looked at a man's face when you tell him there's something you want to talk about?Something that is highly important to you( at the time) and you need to discuss it with him.
First comes the FEAR. That wide-eyed alarmed look.(Oh no!She wants to talk about something serious-like feelings.Aaaaargh.)
Then he relaxes a little bit when you start.It's not about feelings-well not those kind anyway!.
Next when he thinks you might be having a go-the HURT look.(I hope your not suggesting I'm unsympathetic to your needs darling!.Of course darling,I understand.)
The DEFENSIVE look comes next.(I do my best you know.Maybe you should be a little less sensitive.)Don't be silly.
The CONFUSED look.(Where the hell have I gone wrong?I don't sit in the pub every night.What more does she want.What the hell is she talking about.The football is about to start.I hope she's not going to be long.)
Just when your getting to the real crux of the matter and he realises you're not leaving and your just being a typical woman and blowing off steam-THE GLAZED EYES LOOK.
You know you're losing him,the eyes glaze over and he inches nearer and nearer to the staircase.
(I'm really tired darling.I'm just going to bed now.)
And then you're left downstairs wondering why you ever thought he would understand and kicking yourself for having revealed all your innermost thoughts when he is upstairs snoring his head off without a care in the world and you're left feeling worse than you did to start with."
Panic!Was my first thought after I finished reading her take on men.Her take on ME! Christ.Have I started talking in my sleep or something.I gave her a hug and then sat sheepishly eating my dinner which Gill had lovingly prepared.I then had a shower and came back downstairs and sat along with Gill,watching a little tv.
Finally Gill turned and asked me what I thought of her little piece of literature.
I just yawned and said I was off to bed.
