A concerned husband

There was once a man who felt that his wife was having a bit of hearing problem. Trying to spare her feeling, he secretly decided to meet their family doctor for advice. The doctor suggested that the husband used the easiest and oldest technique to test his wife’s problem. That technique would be able to tell the doctor of how bad is the wife’s hearing loss.
“ you have to stand about 40 feet away from her and have a normal chit chat with her using your normal voice and tone. If she could not hear you, come closer to 30 feet. If she still couldn’t hear you, do it at 20 feet and continue until she hear you.”
“sounds easy,” said the man delightfully. So, later that day, when his wife was preparing dinner, he estimated his distance from his wife.
40 feet. Yup, this is about that, he whispered to himself. “what are we having for dinner, honey?” he asked, using the normal voice tone. She didn’t answer.
So, he come closer. 30 feet… he estimated carefully. Again, he asked, “what are we having for dinner, honey?” still no response.
Wow, this is bad he said to his himself while moving to 20 feet from the wife. Again there was no response.
He continued and become so close to her that he was just standing beside her when he asked, “honey, what’s for dinner?”
His wife turned to him and said,
“for goodness sake, for the seventh time my dear. I said it is CHICKEN!”
