Odd things you do that you wonder if anyone else does

I sing to my dog and change the lyrics.

So instead of "I'm just mad about saffron, saffrons mad about me, they call me mellow yellow" as I heard that earlier.

It became "I'm just mad about tilly, tillys mad me, they call her big and brown dog"

Quite rightly.

My Mrs constantly talks to the dog in a stupid baby voice, it drives me nuts. Even odder that she never did it when the kids were little.

In the swimming pool, or indeed the sea, I'm always on tippy toes when I'm at least waist deep. And I'm always asking myself why I'm doing it and I never know. I might put my feet flat on the bottom to show myself I can, but find myself back on tippy toes again within ten seconds. What's all that about?

And teaspoons. Don't get me started. I make a cup of tea, and then rinse the teaspoon slightly and put it just hanging off the drainer so the spoon bit dries. I can keep a teaspoon going for days like that. It gets layers of tannin on it (why?) and still I'll dutifully rinse it and hang it off the drainer. The dishwasher cleans it up no problem. We have no shortage of teaspoons. 

 

Mr rb14 does a cup of tea and doesn't rinse it and puts it completely on the drainer, tea-covered spoon right way up, creating a gecky tea mess. I could swing for him.

Doesn't everyone do that?


I will always leave at least some of the meat (or whatever is the ‘best’ thing on the plate) until last, making absolutely sure that the final mouthful is the nicest stuff on the plate. Sometimes that might not only be the meat. A beef roast dinner for example will end with a forkful of beef and Yorkshire pudding, maybe even a small bit of roast potato. I try to end a full breakfast with a bit of bacon, a bit of sausage and a bit of egg making up the final mouthful.

I don't , I have a friend who eats everything on the plate one by one and it sends me around the bend.

My boy is like that. It's a bit weird. Still he's technically an adult now, it's too late to return him. Anyway, I lost the receipt and, if I'm honest, I've grown quite attached to the little weirdo.
