Give me some dialogue from your day

Me, to my sister and niece, before they left: "Have you got my spare walking boots to take back to Devon?"

Sister: "Yes, I put them in the car."

Me, on phone 1 minute later: "Those walking boots don't want to leave... They must have sneaked out of the car when your back was turned, and are now hiding under a chair in my kitchen!"

Did they take a different pair of walking boots, leaving you with the spare ones?

No - she had been thinking of her own boots!

Fortunately, they were only just down the road so they came back for the boots.

I have slowly built up a stash of clothes and bike spares/tools in Devon so I can now travel down with just one medium sized rucksack. The spare boots were for the stash.
