Question:

You live in a two-story house with your wife. One day you are standing about halfway down the narrow flight of stairs. You see your wife approaching, carrying a stepstool and a screwdriver. She starts up the stairs.

Do you think:

1) She's coming to see me, or
2) She's going upstairs to fix something

Gotta be one or the other. The wife was headed for the stairs before she saw her husband standing there, if it makes it easier.

I am assuming if she was coming to see you she wouldn't need a step stool.

She's coming to fix the curtain rod that 'you' have been promising to fix for years.

I would be looking for you to hand you the stool and screwdriver and telling you what needed fixed.
