"Male Observational Skills"
Summary: Men (Harm) will never understand the details important to women (Mattie).
Note: My sisters and I always did this to Dad, and he eventually learned the correct answer to the question. As always, thanks for reviewing laura carr, Sarai, Sahc, flamingo1, and jagaddict. I'm sorry, Mia, but chapters won't get longer because flash-fics are only 155 words long.
Disclaimer: Harm, Mac, etc. are not mine, so don't sue me because I have an imagination and too much free time.

"Hello to you, too," Mac retorted as she walked into Harm's apartment.
"Mattie's asked me several times now if I've noticed something different... She won't tell me what I'm supposed to notice, and she's upset that I can't figure it out. Jennifer won't give me any clues."
"I need to know more if I'm going to be able to help you," Mac replied, amused at how agitated he was by his domestic plight.
"Well, she tosses her hair and smiles every time she asks," Harm said, unable to think of anything else enlightening about the situation. Mac started laughing, which made him even more frustrated. "What's so funny?"
"You, Commander Observant. My bet is that she got a haircut."
"Why is she so worked up about that?"
"It's a girl thing."
"You don't make me notice when you get a haircut," he protested.
"I'm not a typical girl—I'm a Marine."
