Don't Show Your New Outfit to the Doctor

Recently, I found a lovely blue-and-white plaid, sleeveless ( I don't know if that can mean 'strapless', but it's got no sleeves from the shoulder down, but still a lot of material over the shoulders;)) romper on Ebay, with short legs that have an inseam of about 5 inches. It was at a nice price, so I bought it, and when it came, I found that it fit me perfectly, just a well as (or even better than) if it had bee made for me! I was very excited, and ran into the room where the Doctor was working on a computer, saying, 'Hey, Doctor, look!' He gave a very faint 'Hmm?' but hardly moved.
'Look what I bought!' I said, holding up my arms to let him see the romper properly. Finally, he turned around.
'It's too small,' he said plainly, and turned around again.
'No, it's not too small! It fits perfectly!' I said, a little annoyed. The Doctor turned back around.
'Oh,' he said flatly. 'Well then you're too bare for me.' ('Too bare for me' is a joke with us, because when my brother was very young, he saw my dad with no shirt on and said that, so the Doctor meant, 'It's skimpy.') I just said 'Humph!', half amused and half annoyed, and walked out of the room. The romper buttons all the way up the front, and has no holes or anything in it; it's not a halter, and a 5-inch inseam is perfectly reasonable. I don't know why he thought it was skimpy. The Doctor is just so rude sometimes! It really reminded me of the second scene in Pyramids of Mars, though, when Sarah comes in wearing that pretty dress, saying, 'Hey, Doctor! Doctor, look! Look what I found!' and the Doctor, with very little emotion, says, 'Hello, Vicki.' then Sarah asks, 'What?' and the Doctor realizes it's her, and says, 'Oh. Where did you get that dress?' very strangely. The tone he had was very similar to the one my Doctor (whichever time he's come from) did. I guess I should get used to him saying things like that. He obviously doesn't know how rude he's being. And, in Pyramids of Mars, he was thinking about how he was tired of working for UNIT, and I think he's having a similar problem now, with whatever work he's currently doing. It's meant to be computer programming, but I think it must be something to do with UNIT or something like that. He often says things that sound a lot like 'And it's about time I found something better to do than run around after the Brigadier!'

"Did I just put my hand in your face?"

The Doctor has a very strange way of always getting his arm (or something else odd) in my face. A couple weeks back, we went out to get a TV remote, and the plan was to go to Homebase (it's in the same shopping area) if we couldn't get the right one at the first shop (I can't remember what is was). We found it at the first shop, though, and on the way back to the car, he suddenly stopped and put his hand out right in my face pointing across the parking lot. It might have bashed me if I hadn't moved when I saw it coming.
"Do we still need to go to Homebase?" he asked - half to himself, I think. He realized we didn't, and then turned to see me quietly leaning away from his hand. (I'm fairly used to him absent-mindedly doing it, and I know it's useless to say, "Hey! Get your big hand out my face, Doctor!" so I just smile quietly to myself at his strangeness.) "Oh!" he said (but not with alarm or anything - just as if he was realizing something he'd forgot). "Did I just put my hand in your face?"
"Yes!" I said, half laughing and half annoyed. "And you almost hit me!"
"Oh. Sorry." He smiled fairly casually.
And the night before, I was talking to him, and he just stuck out his hand and rubbed (or maybe ruffling-ly patted) my head, from the front, so that his arm was in my face. I think my eyes kind of went big and gave a little jump of surprise and confusion. He said it was and 'affectionate pat' or something like that, but I'm not a dog, am I?:) Then I remembered that scene in The Hand of Fear, when the Doctor and Sarah are talking to the manager of the power station, and she's sitting on the table next to him, and as he starts talking, he grabs the top of her head and turns it toward the people their talking to! She looks a little like I must have look when my head was suddenly patted. So, I put the pat down to the fact that he's the Doctor, and he's a bit (a very big bit) unusual.
Then, last night, he had turned our old table upside down to take it apart (we've got a new one), and he asked for my help unscrewing the legs. I unscrewed the last one and then sat back while he did something with the detached legs. I didn't really know what he was doing, though, so I lent forward to look. Then, he picked up one of the legs and moved it over me, right over my head! I hadn't really been looking at the time, so I wasn't sure how close it got, but I had a strong suspicion that it had missed my head by about an inch! I looked up and the Doctor was staring at me.
"I missed your head by a hair's breadth!" he said. This time he did look almost alarmed.
"I know."
"Sorry." Well, he was back to casual. And although I can't find the exact episode right now, I know that there's been at least one time where the Doctor had almost bashed Sarah on the head. One of them may have been when he picks up the stick in Pyramids of Mars, when they're trying to find the deflection barrier. Being around the doctor can be dangerous, but it's also fun!:)

Does ANYONE understand what he's talking about?

Sometimes the Doctor does the strangest things while he's talking. Once, he explained to my brother (very slowly, with pauses between all the actions he named) how he was making his burger, and made the motions of making the burgers with his hands (such as putting them together and opening them out for cutting the bun, and flicking his fingers for putting on pepper). It was so strange it made me laugh, and I said, "I like the actions!" At first, he didn't know what I meant, but then he realized, and, meaning every word, said, "It helps me to understand what I'm saying." This reminds me a lot of "The Ark In Space", when the Doctor starts talking to himself, and Sarah explains to Vira, "He talks to himself sometimes because he's the only one who understand what he's talking about", which, by the way, the Doctor I know also does very frequently.
Sometimes, though, I'm not sure even the Doctor understands what he's talking about.For instance, we were driving in the car, and I said something like, "It sure is dark!" Then he said, "No, it's not dark, it's just less light." That really makes me think of "Pyramids Of Mars", when Sarah tries to show the Doctor the door, but it isn't there, and she says, "It's vanished!" to which he calmly replies, "Nonsense! It can't have vanished! It's just disappeared. That's all!" And according to my dad, he once answered a phone call at work, saying, "Good morning - I mean, good afternoon. What question do I have for you today?" Somehow, I don't think this is the normal way to answer work calls. He even said the same "Good morning - good afternoon" thing to me once when he came home! I'm not sure when, but I remember the Doctor of the '70s TV shows saying something that was similarly complete gobbledygook. It's things like this that really prove to me that he's the Doctor. I mean, who else could say things this ridiculous and still be perfectly normal-looking when he has to? (Well, half of the time he has to...)
