Here's the way to stop that kind of thing, First of all, get your husband to make a note of the view-finder capacity of his camera. Don't let him start pacing vaguely up and down the lawn counting up the distance in what he calls yards.

When at teatime he has three pieces of cake and says, "If there's thing Jean con do it's make one cake."
When he has telephone talks in front of visitors punctuated with "Yes, my sweet," and "No, darling."
