when getting dressed for a wedding, i give a rather logical explantion on fasion (how to wear what we were wearing) as we were getting dressed
and my sister turns to the rest of the family and says
"she's an engeneer... she thinks like that a lot..."
and all i can do is have a blank expersion saying
"but it makes sense... what do u mean... huh?"
of course they took my advice
when you are disapointed at yourself for not giving "Duct tape" as an ans. for something...
eg
my suitemate was getting dressed but the boots were not high enough to fill the slits of the jeans... so i tell her to just staple the slits togather due to the lack of saftypins...
she did it
and it worked
