I have been known to hide, but really don't have to. He will sometimes make a comment that do I REALLY need that? But he knows the answer so I don't even have to say it. Actually, he will go in with me and help pick out fabrics. He went to the city on Tuesday and I asked him, tounge in cheek, to run in somewhere and get me some sewing machine needles. I really didn't think he would do it, but I got a call, he was whispering so noone in Joannes could hear him asking me which pkg to get. LOL Of course, the other think I asked him to pick up was deodorant, and he forgot that! My newest obsession, vintage machines, took a little longer, but he has been bitten by that bug too.
