Five seconds to freedom!!!

If you have seen the commercial with the guy having to pay attention for a full five seconds to his wife talking, then you understand what I just went through. I love my wife, as I am sure that gentleman does, but If the tv is on, and I have Mcdonalds chicken nuggets in front of me, and you are talking about our other daughters open house, then five seconds is an eternity to make eye contact and look like you are interested. Don't get me wrong, I know I SHOULD pay attention, its just hard too. I found myself literally counting in my head to get to five but the bad part is I don't actually remember getting there. I do remember however that my nuggets were delicious and Casino is a good movie. Ask me how many times the 6th grader has to change classes...don't know. She is a smart girl, she will figure this shit out. I don't remember having pep talks with my mom about anything related to school, other than I had better go and make good grades. You figure it out. I found myself laughing on the inside and probably smiling on the outside about the whole counting to five situation. I used the 20 piece to disguise the smile. I will probably get a lecture from my wife when she reads this. Problem is if I count to five during that, I am all out of chicken nuggets to cover up the smile. :D
