So, you may be wondering about the title of the blog. Well, it's one of Dair, my mother in law's favorite sayings. Even though she has new, state of the art, digital hearing aids, provided free of charge by the VA, invariably they are not in correctly, turned down, or the batteries are dead. When that happens, it is as if she has two oversized ear plugs in. Such fun! So, when you say something and she doesn't hear it, she says, "What did you say you said to me?" It cracks me up every time. The tone sounds accusatory, as if we've misled her somehow.
The other day Dair was asking about the name of my stepson's girlfriend and though she has met the girl numerous times, the name escapes her. My husband replied, "Tiffany." "Phiffany," she asked. "No, Tiffany," my husband replied. "Siffany," Dair asked again. "Tiffany," my now exasperated husband yelled. "Well you don't have to yell," replied my mother in law.
