Got It A Mitt Wrong

(If my fiancé does not know what the word for an object is off the top of his head, he will often make one up, expecting me to know what he’s talking about. I’m about to do some laundry when he calls to me.)

Fiancé: “Do you want to wash the kitchen gloves?”

Me: “The kitchen gloves? What are those?”

Fiancé: “You know. The gloves you use when the oven gets too hot.”

Me: “…Oven mitts?”

Fiancé: “Well, I don’t know what you women call things!”
