Then again, Gary's much more mature and more forgiving than me so can probably look past things like that just to keep more harmony in the house. That is something I would like to work on.

I think he does it to wind them up.
He listens to them, then says thanks for pointing that out, I'll change that, then he carries on doing it all the while laughing to himself.
