Well, you are all very lucky because you get a response. Mr absent has that concealed switch in his brain, so that when I am talking it automatically clicks to off. However, I think that there is also a recording device so ten or 15 minutes after he has completely ignored my response, he will come up with a "good idea" or "solution" – which, of course, is exactly what I said ten or 15 minutes earlier.

My husband quite often asks why too when answers are obvious, and I'm very bad and I do give a sarcastic answer. I shouldn't really.

I heard a man say to his partner whilst in Poundland the other day
"Oh, that's good! How much do you reckon it is then?"

Mr P!

I phoned him recently to say that he would need to drive to were I work, because I couldn't get all of the Amazon delivery parcels in my car.

He asked "why?"

Errm, because the parcels were quite large, and my car (a Smart Roadster) is very small. tchconfused

Then, 2 days later in Lidl, when we had a 6 pack bottle of water in the shopping, I said "I may have to open one of those in a minute"

Again he asked "Why?"

I could have replied that I had forgotten to have a shower before coming out, and was worried that my personal hygiene might not be up to standard, or that my skin was suddenly feeling so dry that only an instant topical application of water would save me from becoming a wrinkled old crone that very moment, but it was actually because I was thirsty!

And breathe...................
