What is a simple or kind/fun way to say-

'No action required, just hear me'? Would 'put on your pink headphones ' work?
Also, my husband, in PART due to our past history, has it in his head that I expect an immediate response to things; even a simple text. He acts as if I expect him to drop everything, at that moment & tend to my msg. I've told him numerous times that's not the case, that it even often makes me feel like an overbearing b*#(h when he does. How can he stop 'hearing me' that way in his head when we're not actually talking?
