A little slice of life at my house today:
Me (heading out the door for groceries and looking at the dirty breakfast dishes): I’ve got to get back as soon as I can so I can do the dishes.
MrsT: Oh, don’t worry about doing the dishes.
<I return a few hours later, dishes still dirty, she’s watching reels on her phone>
Me: I thought you said you would do the dishes while I was gone!
MrsT: When did I say that?
Me: You said, “don’t worry about the dishes!”
MrsT: I just meant you could do them when you got back, like, “Don’t worry about them, they’ll still be here when you get back.”
