Oh, so 'kitchen' = 'toilet' in your house does it? I hate to think where your son is planning to take a cr@p!

when I was 12 my mum sent me down to the greengrocers to get a tin of carrots ( we lived on a farm and tinned veg was quite unusual to me), I bought tinned peas by mistake and she went mad at me, it was a 30 minute walk each way and on the way there I'd forgotten what I went for. she was making scrag end of neck stew and peas were no good. I've never forgotten how useless she made me feel : (

Not a wrong purchase, but when I was about 14 my mum wanted to do a competition in a certain mag, and being helpful, I filled it in for her and messed it up. She was really annoyed, I had to walk 20 mins, take a half-hour bus ride to the town to try to get another copy of the mag - only to come back empty-handed because it was the previous week's edition. 3 hours, much grief.

Years ago my dad sent my gormless teenage brother to the shop for a packet of cigarettes.
Brother said "What shall I get if they don't have Woodbines?"
Dad said "Oh, just buy anything."
Brother came back with a pork pie

This was years ago. I sent my younger brother to the store to get a bottle of Conair hairspray. Knowing my brother, I wrote down the description of the bottle: Clear bottle, blue top. He brought back: Clairol hair dye. When I screamed at him about not looking at the list, he pointed out that the model on the box had on a blue top!...

When I told his wife this story, she was relieved that he was always a bit daft, and was not just ignoring her...LOL

Hi poodi

I have similar problems when supermarket shopping with big sis. To save some time I will ask what is next on the list and go off to other isles, pick up the item and put it in her trolley. I am met with a quizzical look on many an occasion for mis-hearing her - the joys of being partially deaf in a noisy environment! But it is another excuse to exercise the chuckle muscles - boy are my chuckle muscles fit (the only bit of me that is mind)
