One of my four very different looking cars is in for repair and the mechanic messaged me today to say that he had not managed to finish and as he was away for the weekend it would be Monday when I get it back. Relayed this to SWMBO and she asked "which car is it" and I said just look out the window and see which one is not on the drive, the reply was "that won't help they all look the same to me"

They're all the same colour aren't they?

"No water is coming out of the hose, I've connected it up and turned it on"

Husband investigates...

"Yeah, you've connected the pipe from the tap to the blank connector used for storage".

Cannot blame her then - she was telling the truth.

Colour code your cars if you want her to take an interest.
There are some interesting greens, reds, blues and yellows around now.
Bonus is that she will know which one it is the car park, when you send her back to fetch something you forgot.
Of course, she might then have an opinion when it comes to buying time. boxedin

We have mint green (hers), silver, maroon and purple/turquoise.
Erin Dawes, to whom I am related by marriage, knows which heap of junk car is which.

we have at a quick count 4 red cars, two cream, two white, one blue, one grey, she knows them by name,
I think you need to give her more training,

My wife told me that she'd tried to get into our son's red car after unlocking our red car using the remote fob. She couldn't work out why it wasn't opening until she unlocked it again and heard the other car 'beep'. biggrin

I'd laugh knowingly here, but have on a number of occasions picked up the wrong Saab 9-5 keys, and wondered why the bloody things wouldn't fit in the ignition. We never lock the cars, so I have already sat down to drive before I have realised the issue.
While the cars look the same apart from colour, it's not even as if the keys look the same - hers have all the buttons on the key, and a Waitrose loyalty tag on the ring, mine has the locking/unlocking part separate from the key. banghead

Up in London yesterday, we happened across a rally/protests, whatever, in support of Israel, plenty of Israeli flags being flown, the wife turns to me and asks "what all that for then?"

She's not one for current affairs!!

Mrs. DG “What’s for dinner tonight.”
“What would you like?”
“Minced pork and mashed potato’s, do you need anything from the shops”
“Salted butter and bread, what time will you be home?”
“7 pm”

Food prepared, all ready to go, Mrs DG arrives at 8:30 pm, no butter or bread, lashing down with rain outside.

“Why didn’t you remind me?”

FFS, my fault again!

Pork with a slightly dodgy walk, WTF, do you think minced pork is; mashed potato’s, don’t tell me, you prefer to call it smashed, what is the world coming to, please stop and let me get off. Hipsters!

Ok, well I've never heard of or encountered a dish of minced pork with mashed (smashed if one is a hipster) potato!

You've never heard of mince and potatoes? Clearly not a scot.
