True to traditional England houses, this house has no heating source in the bathroom.  So I keep a small heater fan just outside the bathroom door.  It stays plugged in and I extend it into the bathroom when I have a shower.  There is space between the bottom of the door and the floor so the cord extends under the door when it's closed.

The other night, I reached down to extend the fan heater into the bathroom.  SS16 watches me do this and asks:

SS16:  What exactly do you use that heater for, Cookies?

Me:  -blink blink-

SS16:  Ummm what

Me: What do you think a HEATER fan is used for SS16?

SS16  Uhhhh I'm really not sure

Me:  -shuts the door and takes a shower-

There you go, ladies and gentlemen, the future of our planet.

Someone let me off *majoreyetwitch*

Lol, completely clueless. Sounds like the thought patterns of my SS, although I don't bother answering him and he has mostly stopped asking anything.

I often wonder what the world will be like when their generation are 'adults'.

On second thoughts maybe SS in his infinite wisdom has decided that it's not needed and thus us questioning you on it.

One time I was rolling meatballs for dinner and asked SD to help me. She asked whom the meatballs were for and I asked whom she thought they were for.

She responded with "I don't really care". I said "ok, then why ask"? and left it at that after her "I don't know mumble". It was our dinner, by the way. We don't ask her to help in the kitchen anymore either.

Sounds like my SD16. We were talking at dinner once about a year ago, so she was 15, and mentioned that the batteries in the smoke alarms need to be changed. She asks, oh so that alarm does work, how come we never use it? DH, DS13, DS13, and I all look at each other and then DH asks SD what she means, the alarms have always worked. She thought the SMOKE ALARM was a house alarm. We have a panel at the front door that doesn't work, never has.

Her only response after finding out what we were talking about was, "What, how am I supposed to know what everything int he world is?"
