Oh, my husband and kids always say that kind of stuff, too. If I see an interrogative, I give the answer. It’s just one of the fun ways my OCD manifests.

Misuse an apostrophe in front of me, I dare you.

Can”t you see that was a ‘rhetorical’ statement and not an ‘interrogative’ question?

That is a great line and I hope you don't mind my stealing, errr I mean, using it. What irritates my wife and kids is my habit of saying ridiculous things in jest with a completely straight face, leading to them saying "Really?" and feeling like idiots when I respond with a smile and a shake of the head. We still tell the story of one daughter saying that and being guffawed at by the family when I announced at dinner that I was, after all, on the selection committee for the Darwin Awards. She's a lot less gullible now, so mission accomplished and lesson learned.
