Pay Attention!

You know you're not single anymore...when you realize that everything your wife says to the kids in your presence, you are supposed to remember...or at least it's a good idea to know what the conversation is about...For example, in the car, you've been driving without paying attention to some of the conversations going on partly because you're still getting used to the new terrain around your new home...but when your wife says "remember we did talk about this yesterday in the car" and you haven't a clue what she's talking about, you quickly realize you could get in trouble for not knowing what's going on....You now know that you being quiet while the conversation is going on means you are quietly showing approval of the family decision whatever it is...and in this case you don't even know what you just approved!....So you add a new rule in your life: if it's talked about in front of you, even if it doesn't seem to remotely involve you, still pay attention!
