That was the problem, Tom. I didn't think any kind of clarification was necessary because I thought I'd understood her perfectly. And since it's not unusual to look at a lot of different things when you're in a mall, I just thought she was getting side-tracked -- just like I do whenever I go shopping. ;)

It wasn't until she'd picked up a 'flannel' that she liked and asked me something like "What do you think of this flannel" (as opposed to "this pattern" or "this one") that I finally got the message. :lol:

-- LOL. Let me guess: When you say you're just going into the grocery store to get milk, finding that "milk" takes you about 45-60 minutes, and you exit the store with a great deal more than milk.
hehe
I spent many an after-school minute in my mom's car, waiting for her to "just get milk".
