I folks, I'm a little bit frightened that I have a problem and I thought who better to ask than my learned chess pals. I arrived home from work this afternoon and found my wife swishing a pair of my undershoes around a saucepan of boiling water. I was really annoyed by this and I said that I hoped that wasn't my dinner she was preparing. We have now fallen out as a result of this and she swears blind I requested this dish yesterday evening when I arrived home drunk from the pub.

 

Am I going mad, or is this an age issue, as I have no recollection of this whatsoever. I thought that maybe it was her who was wrong but she promises me that I came home, climbed into bed, and asked her to "cook my sock".

She probably misheard you.  you must have had your hands over her ears at the time.

In my estimation, you may just need to be more clear with her as to your needs. Or just enjoy your sock dinner with some curry and port wine. Either way.

Must be the accent mate, either way, I dont know how she puts up with you, you must have something.

You're too young to be demented.  Maybe you talk in your sleep.  I don't know but the wife is always right.

Hahahaha :) very funy.. Thanks Tony. You made my day!

Sock my cook!

good one

 

You may try drinking less. At the very least you would remember telling her to cook your items of clothing.

As for being misheard, I dearly hope that is not the case because if someone asks you to do something that doesn't make sense I would think that you would at least verify that it is indeed what they are interested in having (you may be interested in looking into how much your wife tends to drink).

Anyways you should let the absurdity of the matter bring you and your wife together in joviality instead of letting it pull you apart-- it's a perfect story for your grandkids and the next family reunion. 

Could have been worse she might have thought you said cook my sack

One day, I was feeling particularly horny and using predictive text, I told her I wanted to perform a certain love act on her. I should have paid more attention to what I was texting as she fell out with me. I told her I wanted to 'kick her aunt'.
