Ah, irony. And the complexities of the Neurotypicals mind.
I remember as child when my mum asked to 'run a bath' to which I replied 'baths can't run'.
Same with 'draw the curtains', so I got out a pencil and paper.
OP made me smile, in the sense of appreciation. The fact that people are flawed and hardly 'eat their words' all the time.
