My poor wife has the patience of a saint and I am guilty of such heinous crimes against humanity, that I should have been murdered long ago 😛
Case in point …
My wife says, “There’s a jam jar on the table.” which is code for, “there’s an almost empty jam jar that you can clean out by eating the last of the jam."
Of course, I simply respond with: “There are some boxes on the table.”
She gives me the look that’s reserved just for me — “Are you daft? Or are you intentionally mistaking what I said?” is what it says.
“What? I thought we were making observations,” I respond, smiling innocently 😀
