Honey Where's the Mustard?

My hubs is a very capable person with lots of talent and knowledge about all sorts of things. He's good at his job and can talk to you about outer space, the sea, cars, boats, military planes-tanks-weaponry-and battles, restaurants in any city in the world, music from the last ten decades, the finer points of Scotch whiskey, how to grill the perfect steak or make your lawn look like Augusta, just to name a few.

Last weekend he wanted to turn on the oven to warm something, and somehow managed to turn on the timer instead. He didn't know how to turn it off. We've lived in this house almost four years now, so it seems like something he should know, and of course now he knows, but still it got me thinking. What else around here doesn't he know? Also, what does he know that I don't? Other than most of the topics I mentioned up top-ha!

Since it's Thursday and Thursdays are made for lists of thirteen things I thought this would be a fun one...his and hers so to speak.

What We Don't Know

Hubs first-

where to order the water filters for our frig
when to change the water filter in our frig
where I keep the plug and card reader for downloading photos
what day of the week is recycling pickup
which weeks are cans and plastic, and which are paper collection
how much it costs to make my hair look sun-kissed
the exact birthdates of his nieces and nephews
who tunes the piano and how/when is that scheduled
when does the dog need her shots, flea/tick treatment or her meds refilled

what to hand wash

when the car insurance is auto-paid

who cleans our gutters
where's the mustard...also that jar of olives, the crushed red pepper flakes he likes on his pizza, where he laid his glasses, his blue polo shirt, his black leather gloves, and a myriad of other tiny little incidentals that I can put my hands on at a moment's notice when he asks, 'Honey, where's ____________.'

Now for what I don't know-

how to start the MG
how and why we connect the MG to some sort of box in the garage
when to apply fertilizer to the yard
when and where to apply Roundup
when and how to change the furnace filter
how to work that thing he uses to trim the dog
what that thing he uses to trim the dog is even called
how to work the grill
how to use his Blackberry
how to prevent moss on the patio
when is the best time to exercise stock options
how to get upgraded on a flight
how to get the soap scum off the shower

Okay, maybe I do know something about that last one, but shhhh!

Sometimes we don't know what we don't want to know, right?  What's most important is that we both know the big stuff, and when it comes to the bits and pieces, together we know it all. Ha! Marriage= teamwork.

I'd love to know what you don't know.
