Does MBS also explain the inability to find things right in front of his face? Yes, I think so.

Men + pink = issues. Case in point, my darling helpful husband who gets overwhelmed dressing our 2 year old daughter. Here’s a real life conversation:
him: Is her outfit okay?
me: Um, well, sure. It’s fine.
him: Someone should come up with a color coding system for clothes matching.
me: Well, my darling, some people would say that the clothing items themselves are well, color-coded because of their COLORS.

I think men just have a problem saying the word pink…
My husband has a color blind friend and I have the most fun with him. He gets really tired of me saying “Hey B, what color is this?”

You see, it isn’t that I can’t identify colors. It is that guys like to simplify things. So, rather than get lost in crayola-like details, I would prefer to keep it simple and then get more specific as necessary. There was a chance that you would have known what I was talking about by the ‘shoes in the garage’ statement and then think of the time we would have saved!
Girls, on the other hand, like to wander their way to the point. They would say something like, ‘Honey, I was just in our Muave garage and my Sea Foam eyes spied the cutest pair of…they looked like they were from Kohls, oh, and I’ve been wanting a new pair of platform…I digress…they were a pair of lightly soiled, corral-hued, size 6 Sketcher shoes.’
But you know that I love you! :-)
Too funny! I’ll have to remember that MBS thing for explaining some of Matt’s idiosyncrasies!

I think I had a comment to counter your premise but I forgot what it was or else where I put it. BTW I agree with Jeff, of course!

I read the comments in search of Jeff’s response. Cute.
Too funny. My husband needs garanimals to dress the kids. I swear he comes up with some doozies especially for our daughter. MBS applies to dressing kids too.

haha seriously, I’m not always sure what goes through my hubby’s brain.
his response in the comments cracked me up :-)
Yes I would hold out for the cure….and hope its not contagious!

Perhaps he was thrown off on the color because there was a large red storage tub across from them and the blinding sun shone into the garage directly onto the 3-way mirror behind the shoes and the overall glare had a slightly red tint, so the actual lines of the shoes were somewhat indistinguishable.
Otherwise he’s just color blind.

this made me chuckle. I am one who desperately needs to solve MBS…

Heheh that’s pretty funny! I can see the bits of the shoes that are pink but I certainly wouldn’t call them “reddish”! :P
LOL!!! Mine has that too!

MBS. I have one who suffers from that, too. =)
I’m still chuckling over the ‘reddish’ part.

Me in the middle of the night: The baby needs to be changed.
Him: OK.
Five minutes later I nudge him again.
Him: Oh, you want me to change her RIGHT NOW?
Me: No, I want you to lay here and relax while I tell you all the things that need to be done.
Our family suffers from MBS as well. Nothing left to do but love them anyway I guess.

Sign another one up. We are full of MBS around here.
My favorite is, “Where is…….(insert anything you like here.)”
Sometimes I hide his things on purpose just so I can watch him go crazy looking for them :)
Long time, no blog! Everything alright over there?
