Convincingly crazy

After they were married for awhile my Mom decided to make Dad think that she was nuts. She would pull little stunts and act like she didn't know any better. He asked her to sew a new button on his pants as he had lost the button, she obliged and went to work on them. After diligent work, she gave them back to him when she finished. He tried putting them on, but she had sewn a huge coat button on. He just shook his head in disbelief. 
She decided to take it a step further and sewed all the leg holes shut on his underwear. She still laughs about seeing a one armed man hopping around in circles trying to put his underwear on.
