I get a phone call from Alex saying that she has fallen at work and can I pick her up and take her to A&E.
Oh course I can sweetie, I drop everything and go towards the car to race over. In my sweetest and sympathetic voice I ask her has she damaged anything.
YES she wails out...........it is a tragedy.......I have scuffed my new shoes.
FFS woman.........you have fallen over, twisted your ankle under you, have no idea if you have broken it at this time but the only thing to enter your head is that you have scuffed your new shoes.
No wonder us men do not have a clue with you
