Silly tins

I fully appreciate that you have to make sacrifices when you're a parent and, occasionally, let your sproglet have things he or you don't necessarily need. But I think the episode I'm about to describe is just a bit mad.

Above you can see a photo of three tins which Jamie apparently spotted in some shop he was in, so Vanessa decided to buy them. OK, fair enough (as long as they weren't too expensive).

However, what to do with them?

One fairly obvious possibility was to use them to store things in - they are tins after all.

But why would you (or Vanessa, to be more accurate) choose to store our tea and sugar in them when they don't have "Tea" and "Sugar" emblazoned on them, they're identical and, crucially, we already have tins with "Tea" and "Sugar" emblazoned on them? Answer: you don't - unless you're name is Vanessa.

So what action does she then take to "rectify" the situation? She gets her biro out and scratches a "T" for tea on one, an "S" for sugar on another and a "V" for Vanessa's posh tea on the third.

It's just plain silly.

Particularly as Jamie doesn't even drink tea.
