Completely "rational" conversation between Chad and I. To be fair, I was hungry at the time of this conversation, and I'm not good at rational conversations when I'm hungry.
Me: (After Chad has handed me a bottle for Grace's feed) You've put this teet in incorrectly.
Chad: No I haven't.
Me: Yes you have.
Chad: Is the bottle leaking?
Me: No.
Chad: Then it's not in incorrectly.
Me: It's wrong.
Chad: (Sigh) Why is it wrong?
Me: Well we have two types of bottles, the ones with the round lids and the ones with the squarish lids. And they each have their own teets. You have to use the round teets with the round lids and the more square teets with the square lids. And the square lids also have that weird round thing that you have to use or else they leak.
Chad: Yep, I know that.
Me: Well why did you use the wrong lid?
Chad: (sigh..followed by slight smile) I didn't.
Me: Then why is the flippy thing not pulled through?
Chad: ????
Me: Get me another round lid, I'll show you. See, now pull the teet through the lid. No pull further. Why are you pushing it? PULL it! Seeeeeeeeee that's what it's supposed to look like.
Chad: Huh. I didn't know that. But to be fair, my way does work, doesn't it.
Me: That's not the point. It's got to be RIGHT.
Chad: (Sigh and knowing smile) You're hungry, aren't you?
Me: Shut up.
And yes, I did both apologise and laugh later......after I had food.
And yes, Chad is a saint.
