We got several new "Little Critter" books by Mercer Mayer from my niece and nephew. Today we read one called "I Just Forgot." A few minutes later, long after I'd forgotten the title of the book, I had this confusing conversation with Big Sissy.
Her: That doggy in I just forgot looks a lot like Dasher (her new spotted doggy from Santa).
Me: Which doggy?
Her: I just forgot.
Me: Well, think about it. Was it a doggy from a movie? A doggy from a book? Biscuit?
Her: I JUST FORGOT!
Me: That's OK. You can tell me when you remember.
Her (several decibels louder now): No, that dog from I Just Forgot!
Me (finally glancing down at the floor and seeing the title of the book): Oh, the dog in the Mercer Mayer book "I Just Forgot"?
Her: Yes!
Who says communication is easy???

It took me a few minutes to comment, because I couldn't stop laughing. That's hilarious!
Your title for this post is right on. Too funny. Sounds like some husbands and wives I know.
