THINGS

Tonight, after a big meal, my husband helped do the dishes and tidy the kitchen and I discovered that he refers to just about everything I cook with as a "thing".  

Where does your "thing" (lid to the blender) go?

Does your "thing"(silicone spatula) go in the top drawer?

Do you put your"thing" (steamer for the rice cooker) on first or your other "thing"(bowl for the rice cooker)?

Do you want me to put your "thing"(measuring cup) in the dishwasher?



While I really appreciate his help, the task takes almost twice as long as I turn to look to see what he's referring to all the time.    It can be exasperating.

This is all one sided.  If I ever refer to his "thing" it can only mean one "thing".
