Sue continues to give something that I specifically asked for something close to yesterday I called her when I got off work. She was in Walmart buying stuff for the birthday celebration party coming up. She was very excited and she was busy weaving among the people listening to a mother because her kids and all that stuff. And she asked me if there was anything that I needed from Walmart.
My typical answer to this question is no. Many many times in the past I have asked her to buy something specific and she forgets completely or gets something different because it was less expensive than would do what she thought it should do rather than what I was asking for. But I gave it a shot again because it’s been a while since I cried. I said can you buy some many Reese’s peanut butter cups a bag of the and I explained that with one of my guys restricted at work and not be able to come in the building because he was exposed to someone that had the virus the chocolate dish on his other persons desk had not been filled for a while and I was going to take this opportunity to do my part on the chocolate front. I also explained that because it was a many Reese’s peanut butter cup one of the small ones that controller had dropped and then reached down and accidentally picked up above and popped the bug in his mouth rather than the Reese’s peanut butter cup that I thought it would be funny to have the same many Reese’s peanut butter cup candies available for people when they came to our office.
She came home with three packs of six Tupac regular size peanut butter. When I told her that I had one of the many Reese’s peanut butter cups she just shrugged it off and said you know these are better in these you know give them more and that’ll be fine. I didn’t bother to explain again about the candy dish in the small size needed and then nobody wanted to them they felt comfortable taking one but didn’t want to take a whole pack. And I said well whatever and I’ll just give them as birthday gifts to Michael and Kevin. She got even more defensive and that part point tried to defend what she had bought and said well I tried!
Which is her defense for each of these times when she doesn’t get what I actually asked
So today I stuff from the kitchen beside the dining room table and wanted to know where she could put it. And I said please put it on the bed. She said okay. Then I said please put it on the bed not on the bag that is on the bed but on the comforter and don’t cover anything up. And then she got mad and said you didn’t have to explain that I know where you want it and stormed off with my stuff and ended up putting it on the back. The bag that I have left out so that I would remember to take the bag downstairs and wrap the gifts that were in the bag. So instead of getting mad I just went and moved it after she finished grumbling about it.
What I find funny is that at the points where I used to get so angry now I don’t and she could sing. Very funny!
I think it’s the rebel in her that just automatically will not do what I asked not real sure. It’s either that or she’s just not concentrating goes by the feeling about the specifics one I needed by the specifics. Oh, well. I love her!
