Just now, I was helping mum wash some strawberries and grapes for a fruit salad (My brother is appearing on The Undateables and so us two, him and my dad are all coming round to mum's place to watch it).
I''m just about to wash the grapes and and am not sure where to put the strawberries, which are still in the colander the grapes need to be in.
I ask her where to put them (in a silly voice) and she says "Put them on the glass bit".
Now, there are two chopping boards; one on top of the other and both made of glass: A massive one to cover a burn mark a friend made when they stayed round mine years ago; and the one she's doing the fruit prep on, which is on top of that.
I say "But it's all glass" and she responds - in a half-joking, half-annoyed voice [I think - I'm terrible at reading people's' expressions and what they mean] "OK, put them on the clear one rather than the silver one, MS. SPECTRUM."
What's wrong with just saying Ms. Pedant?!
Not to mention that my brother has autism himself.... *shrug*
