Grocery lists, apologies or lack thereof!

So, Bob (husband, not next door,) hollers to me from the Kitchen... "didn't you buy any peanut butter when you went shopping?" I replied, "no, it wasn't on the list." The list is started by anyone who notices we need something then added to as the week progresses.

When I told Bob that it wasn't on the list, he said... "I wrote it, it was the first thing on the list, I only asked for two things, you didn't even read the list did you? You problably didn't even take it out of your purse... what's the point of making a list if you don't read it?, peanut butter and soya sauce that's what I asked for!" Then he went down to the basement carrying his poor me, no one cares what I want and always forgets me attitude with him.

Now the irony is, I had just taken the list out of my jeans pocket and thrown it in the basement trash can. I was upstairs, busy playing hi-lo poker online but still suddenly remembered that the two things he wrote were, SUGAR and soya sauce. No peanut butter to be found anywhere on that list! I jumped up, ran to the basement door and hollered down "hey, you asked for sugar and soya sauce NOT peanut butter." Vague mumblings could be heard wafting up the staircase from the basement but I was pretty sure it was my turn to check or fold so I ran back to my computer.

Mich came home from writing her lab exam, I told her the story, Bob flashed us a big grin from the sofa and went back to reading his paper! He looked slightly abashed but of course, never admitted to actually being wrong!

Just before I left for work, I took the list out of the trash, flattened it out and put it in the right pocket of his work smock/jacket. I wish I was going to be there when he finds it!

Husbands, cute little beggers eh?
