Dad at the Supermarket

My father was completely lost in the kitchen and never ate unless someone prepared a meal for him. When Mother was ill, however, he volunteered to go to the supermarket for her. She sent him off with a carefully numbered list of seven items.

Dad returned shortly, very proud of himself, and proceeded to unpack the grocery bags. He had one bag of sugar, two dozen eggs, three hams, four boxes of detergent, five boxes of crackers, six eggplants, and seven green peppers.

That sounds a bit like the twaddle head I suffered-no idea how to cook or shop but if you dared say anything then watch out for punches-well my way anyway

Re: Dad at the Supermarket

Its all irrelevant anyway, I've come to the conclusion that men and women need each other, I did fight it all the way and will admit but not very loudly that some things he can do that I can't. It was sent to me in an email, I thought it was funny but now I just think its a bit silly really.

Men just don't think the same way as women, do they

Good one!

Re: Dad at the Supermarket

They certainly don't Mags, I'm still trying to work out if you can use men and thinking in the same sentence.

Re: Dad at the Supermarket

I think this shows that men just think very laterally, with no hidden agenda. I mean why would you number a shopping list? Women on the other hand are far more complex and don't say I told you but I think they like to make things a little complicated for the blokes.

Re: Dad at the Supermarket

I must admit I wouldn't number a shopping list, It teaches them to use their brains...hmmm no maybe not if they did that they'd be dangerous.
