Once, when I was practicing my guitar, my wife called out to me from the other end of the house:
Wife: “Honey?”
Me: “yeah?”
Wife: “How long have you been playing guitar?”
Me: “About 40 years…”
Wife: “oh… shouldn’t you be better?”
Funny things my Wife has said
That’s awesome All of the men here should share funny things their wife has said, I bet it could get rather entertaining.
I had just watched Shrek, and I was sitting in the living room with a guitar trying to figure out that song they covered from the Monkees. My wife walked into the room and yelled, “Would you STOP playing that annoying song?!?” I thought she was kidding… then I saw her face.
The above story did not actually happen. At least not to me.
No harm in sharing an old story. When joining this site had no idea about the badges but as miserable as I am was pleasantly surprised when up popped Enthusiast. *
“Oh 10 consecutive days that’s neat”

“Is that all you do!” “The site records your bone idleness”
Now I’m a believer.
LoL
A few months after I retired I was in our music room playing my mandolin (primary instrument) and guitar (not so primary instrument). When I was done my wife said, “You know, if music is going to be part of your retirement you might wanna learn some more songs!” Zing!
Can’t say I blame her, that song is pretty annoying
Yesterday I was trying to play the tremolo harmony version of Amazing Graze and was (still am) struggling with the counting of the triplets. After 90 minutes into my 2 hours of practice I heard her turn up the TV (and she doesn’t like loud TV). I asked her if she was tired of Amazing Grace…she said, “Didn’t you hear the TV?” O well, I’m going back to the music room shortly!
Not music related, but still in the spirit of the topic, so here goes…
Sitting among a group of our old friends in the midst of a generally sarcastic conversation (my favorite kind) I said, “The mistake I made was that I could have married money.” Without missing a beat my wife said, “The mistake I made was that I thought that I had married money.” Sic semper tyrannus!
So sorry! Looks like I killed this one.
nahhhh… probably guys just afraid to tell on their wives in case they read these posts…
