I went grocery shopping last night with a list Kim made. One item on the list said "Cheer big spout".
I took it to mean the bottle with the big spout as opposed to the big container with the pump. The following conversation occurs when I get home.
Kim: "Why did you get the small bottle of Cheer?"
Me: "The list said you wanted the one with the big spout."
Kim: "No, I wanted the big one with the spout. You know, like we always buy?"
Me: "I thought you wanted a refill or something, and the list said 'big spout' and this smaller bottle has a bigger spout."
Kim: "It said 'big with spout'!"
Me: "No it didn't, it just said 'big spout'."
Kim: "Let me see the list,"
(I look for the list and cannot find it.)
Me: "I seem to have lost it. But I swear it said 'bg spout'."
Kim: "Uh huh, sure it did."
The funny thing is, everytime I go to the store with a list Kim made, I always get something wrong. Wrong kind, wrong item, wrong size, just something everytime. This time the list was small and I thought I hit it bang on but I remember putting the list back in my pocket so I had it in case Kim claimed I forgot something. Unfortunately, it must have fell out of my pocket when I took my wallet out at the second store I stopped at.
Figures I'd need it.

How convenient that you "lost" the list!!! I wrote the list, and I know what it said..."Cheer, big one with spout". I just wish you could find the list, so I could prove yet again that I am right!
Yes, almost every time you go to the store you mix up an item or two. That is why I've resorted to explaining everything in detail so you'll get it right...sometimes including size, color, brand... Hence, the add-on of "big one with spout". I figured that if I just put 'Cheer' on the list you would get the small one and not the one we usually use.
You didn't happen to mention that besides making this mistake, you had to call me twice from the store about other suff..."what's a purell pump?"..."there's no hotdog buns."
I said that I'd go to the store, but you wanted to go instead (probably to get some time away from the kids).
You DO live here you know...and you DO know the kind of stuff we usually buy...so, I DON'T get why you have so many problems!!!
Now, if only I could find that list...
"Cheer - Big spout" I swear up and down that is what was on the list.
As for the hot dog buns, that was not my fault. And "purell pump" was not very descriptive if I don't know the brand name "purell".
I went to the store not to get away from the kids, but so that if Erin showed up to pick them up you would be able to visit with her.
you can keep claiming that you're right...but I know you're not :p I know what I wrote.
You're not very observant...I blame this characteristic of yours for all the mistakes you make at the store! (plus when you read, you skip over things and think you know what's in between., but you don't always get it right)
in order to 'prove' yourself right, you'll have to find the list and then very carefully re-write the list in my handwriting to make it look the way you think it was to begin with.
It said, "Cheer...big one with spout"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Could you two use some time alone?
