I get the distinct impression that my Husband thinks blogs are stupid...
He tries to be supportive, but I find myself disappointed with his reaction every time...
It usually goes something like, "Is that it?" or "oh"...
I don't think I'm being paranoid either.
Possibly, I've been using the wrong approach all along...
Maybe if I used some type of visual aid to ... well.... "aid" him to know when the appropriate time to chime in with positive feedback in the form of encouraging words and /or applause, it would be extremely helpful...
If only I could think of something that would really get his attention...
You know....
Other than my stimulating words...
I think I've just had a brainstorm!!!!
Not to be confused with a braincloud which is far less productive and far more common than the full blown 'storm' version...
I think that if after I share my blog-thoughts from now on...
Instead of having to say "That's it!", which is how I queue him to respond with obligatory oooo's and ahhhhs...
I will use a visual aid to facilitate my plan!!
If this idea works, I could start up a business
(business idea #496 to be exact... but who's counting)
where I create customized flashcards with images tailored to each husbands particular sensory triggers
Their primary purpose would be for the blogger to use on the blog-ee...
Here's how they would work -
- Blogger reads blog aloud to blog-ee...
- Blog-ee half listens and eyes occasionally glaze over...
- Blogger whips out flashcards...
- Blog-ee snaps to attention and responds appropriately!
Voila!
My prototype cards are customized to include a couple of my husbands "visual triggers"
I'll show them to you...
In NO particular order....
The first one looks like this -
Am I alone here?
What pictures would be on your flashcards?
