We're packing the car to go on a trip. Dh calls downstairs from the bedroom 'are there any toys up here that need to go in the car?' I say 'no'.
He comes down with our bags and then starts taking things out to the car. 'and there are no toys to go in?' he asks. 'these need to go in' I say, pointing at the bag of toys on the sofa.
He then huffs because 'i told him there were no toys to go in', but I point out that he actually asked if there were toys upstairs, and that's what I said 'no' to, he calls me 'insanely pedantic', and states that 'anyone else' would have answered his question by saying there were toys downstairs. We then grumble at each other a bit, get over it, and go on a nice trip.
It isn't a big deal, but I'm genuinely curious because we frequently seen to have conversations like this. From my perspective he wants me to answer a different question from the one he asked, from his perspective I'm being too literal.
So which one of us is unreasonable?
