And he did...

We have been up for one hour.

He tried to run his shaver without plugging it in. I did not help but explained matter of factly, "You need to use the cord."

He struggled figuring out how to get the plug prongs correctly oriented into the outlet on the wall as well as into the back of the shaver. "What's wrong with this?" he asked. I did not help but just said matter of factly, "You know how to do that." And he did.

While shaving he was cold and mumbled about this and that. I did not help but just said matter of factly, "You know how to turn on the heater." And he did.

The cat arrived on the sink, as she often does, seeking water. Gregory waved his hands at the faucet. I did not help but just said matter of factly, "You know how to do that." And he did.

After he finished shaving he opened the bathroom door with the "What's next?" look on his face. The what's next is getting dressed, his clothes neatly piled on the bench just outside the bathroom door. "You know what's next." And he did.

He called me into the living room saying, "It's all fuzzy" waving his hands around the room. He pointed to the window shade that was half way up (the way he likes it while sitting at his table over the newspaper.) "That's not right."

I explained that the living room was dark because it was raining out. He wanted the shade up anyway so I opened it fully. "No, it needs to be here," he pointed half way. So I lowered the shade and explained the darkness again.

Sometimes he doesn't.
