Nick's genius story of the day

I was looking for the small plastic measuring jug, and after questioning the boys, gave up the hunt. When Nick came into the kitchen I asked if he knew where it was, and he said no, but “check the dustbin”. I mentally dismissed the idea as ridiculous, but something prompted Nick to have a look, and sure as bob, he produced the missing, dirty, jug. Why was it there? Well, the milk in the jug was finished, so in his scatterbrainedness, Nick threw it away. (You do know about Albert Einstein, the genius, pulling up to someone else’s house, thinking it to be his own? Apparently genii are known for their utter inability to master the simple things in life – like painting windows and chewing dispirins).
