It was the Cat.

Rain storm, hear loud noise (something clearly hitting the house). Husband has on earplugs listening to a lecture on ancient roman history (whole other story entirely). He asks-- "was that the cat?" (evidence that hearing must be muffled if he thought the sound of something gigantic hitting the side of our home was a noise made by the cat.) I say, no, something hit the house. He gets up and looks out the window-- sees nothing and then he says. "I think it came from over there." What is that supposed to mean?? I'm sitting here, I could hear where it came from, you had on headphones, how would you know where it came from, you thought it was the cat???
