OH DEAR......
I didn't go out to buy anything one day, I just said to SWMBO......
"I fancy a toy car"
She said, "what do you mean, a toy car"
"I mean, one that you can have fun in, not just get from A to B"
Her reply..... "Whatever"
After a trip to Norfolk, and stopping off at Cromer, I pointed out an old Merc slk, saying to her, "something like that........."
Her reply..... "Whatever"
That was the end of the conversation, UNTIL...........
A few weeks later I decide to have a quick look at auto trader while on my lunch and saw something for sale 6 miles away from where I work
I phoned the bloke up, went to see it, got back to the office, phoned SWMBO and said.
"hi love, I've just bought my toy car"
I think she now understands that "WHATEVER" is not a good way to end a conversation.
only downside, is that she won't let me look at boats for sale.....Just in case......
