Sometimes you just have to laugh ….

It was a nice day and to get me out of the house my wife asked me to get Bread, butter and eggs from the neighbourhood shop. It is not far and took my time to get there. Picked up the items and brought them home. Only to be greeted by a rather puzzled look from my wife whom questioned why I had bought another 6 pints of milk to go with the 12 we bought yesterday. In my hands I had bread, eggs and milk – no butter.

I gave the wife the items and returned to the shop to get the butter. When I came back I was greeted with an even more puzzled look as I gave my wife another 6 pints of milk and you guessed it – no butter.

Off I went again to the shop. As I went through the door, what I came for went out of my head and had to use my mobile to ask the wife what I came for … “butter and please no more milk!” Fortunately third time got it right.

The strange thing is that my wife now sends the kids to the shop and they seem to be affected by memory problems as well – they forget to hand over the change on their return!
