Male reasoning (sorry Ed, Neal)

I'm still wondering how this turned into my fault. My husband was
sitting at the computer across the room, and the cat was lying on the
table right next to him. She started making the "I'm going to puke"
noises, so he grabs her and takes off towards the utility room, which
is a concrete floor (family room has carpet). As he passes by, I
mention "so it's better to spew chunks for a long trail rather than
just one spot?" and about that time, of course she does start puking -
as he's running. Now this is a good 15 feet from the door of the
utility room, and he had to turn a small corner to get there, yet he is
blaming me for the 15-foot long chunk trail because I had left the
vacuum in the doorway of the utility room.

It's obvious he didn't make it in time, as he had just started turning
the corner when the cat started blowing chunks. But the vacuum cleaner
he couldn't even see when she started doing that is the reason he
didn't make it...so it's my fault.

And then...while trying to clean up the trail, he starts RUBBING it IN
the carpet. Like that's going to make it CLEAN? So I wound up cleaning
it up - actually that was a stroke of genius on his part, as he didn't
have to.

Apparently Common Sense 101 was an elective course...

I'm at the point where I don't know what to do about his stunts. Not
speaking doesn't seem to have the impact it had when we were younger.
<G> Eyerolling is ignored. Other than going on a shopping trip with
the credit card, I'm about out of ideas. <BG>
