Seek and ye shall find
I just got through the front door from Tesco laden down with shopping (plus a few beers for the England game) when I was confronted by a 14-year-old Mr Angry.
"Where are my tracksuit bottoms?" he snarled accusingly as if I'd borrowed them to nip to the shops despite our vastly differing waistlines.
This is the actual transcript of what followed:
Me: "No i haven't seen them. Perhaps they're in the wash."
Nick: "Huuummmmph. Where are they? Have you seen them? Why are they never where I leave them?"
Me: "Where have you looked for them?"
Nick: "Nowhere."
Conversation over as I headed for Shearer and Co with my beer wondering whether this sort of bizarre exchange only happens to me.

Apologies for being presumptuous, but in my experience this is a male failing.
Like father like son perhaps?
I'm sorry but I don't know what you mean...now where's that celebratory beer?
Perhaps: "I stuck them on the bonfire you ungrateful little oik" may have been a more appropriate response?
Well done Nick! Egg on you, Jim!!
