Day 1 of experiment.
Pouring rain all day.
8:00pm Camry wouldn't start after Taylor's volleyball game.
8:30 We drive the van over armed with baking soda, paintbrush and water
8:35 which didn't work so we drive to Walmart to buy jumper cables, drive back
me: looking at directions on jumper cables, reading them aloud
him: "I know how to jump a car, OK?"
me: remembering my blog experiment, "Oh, I know you do. You're smart with that stuff. But I don't. I may need to know this someday." I put a hand on the back of his neck while I say this.
him: Ignores comment/touch. "Maybe it's not the battery." We're almost to the car. He jumps out (pouring rain), starts the car and we drive home.
Well, I don't think that bit about him being smart counted as my "something positive" so I try again when we're in the kitchen.
8:50 He tells me about a decorating idea he has for his office.
me: "You're really creative you know. That sounds really cool." and I look at him and smile.
This time I get a smile back. And then he started talking a little more.
