My husband refers to me as “The Queen of the Obvious”, for stating what, he is certain, people already know.

“You should go to the bathroom before we leave the house”.  “Yeah.  I KNOW!  I’m 43 years old!” he says.

My mother, upon seeing my cell phone, said “You’ll charge that, since it’s battery is getting low, right”?

YES.  That’s how my phone works.  I use it.  Then I charge it.  Then it’s battery becomes full again.  Got it!

Recently, a friend came upon this illustration as part of the instruction manual for her new cappuccino maker.

So… wait!  Am I NOT supposed to let my new baby crawl onto the hot coffee maker?  Why did’t you tell me sooner!?!
