That is cute. I can't remember an incident, but I'm sure I have.

Karlene - Very good thoughtful question. Even funnier on the UFO's ~lol.

Not exactly the same thing, but here's my story:
Saturday we had unseasonably high temps and decided to grill outside at the last minute. I had purchased a Porkloin for something else & DH loves grilled thick porkchops. He always complains about the thickness to the point that I have him buy them from the butcher and let him decide how thick to have them cut. So, I say, how thick do you want me to cut them? He says 1/4". Me - no, that's not thick enough. He says, okay 1/2". Me - No - you aren't going to like them. He gets out the tape measure & shows me & says - This is 1/4". I say "Don't show me what a 1/4" looks like!" I cut them 1 1/2" thick and they were perfect.
Between sewing most of my life, and office planning professionally where I still do 1/4" scale line drawings by hand, sometimes I dream in 1/4" -- literally.

I was at a quilt show and looking at a long-arm setup. The owner & her husband were standing there while we were talking about the routered out stylus pattern.

I asked if it was a 3/8" router depth and the DH was surprised that I was right on the money!! The wife/quilter wasn't surprised!!

Granted, it was still in the quilting community, but the DH was amazed!!

Boy, Marsha you are right on. I've had questions come up where hubby doubts I've given him a right number. I always just say "go measure if you don't believe me!" I know my 1/4" and I'm always right.
