Our housekeeper is becoming a communist!

(The conversation happened in tamil)
Few months back:
She: You have gas cylinders that you don't use. Shall I take one?
Me: I don’t have a gas stove. But my mother asked me to keep this on stand by. I might buy a gas stove when she comes for a visit or if I hire a cook. 

Few days back:
She: You have two Brush dusters. Shall I throw away one
Me: Both are good. I don’t want to throw that away

Last weekend, I found one duster missing

Me: Where is the other duster?
She: I threw it away. You had two.
Me: I asked you not to though I had two
She: I thought that you were not aware that you had two dusters when you told me not to throw it away
Me: But you did mention that there were two and I asked you not to throw it away
She: Is it that important?
Me: This is not really about if it's a small thing or a big thing
She: Ok, I will not throw away things without asking you. I threw it away along with some containers*

*I am racking my brain to find out what those containers are! And I doubt if the 'throwing away' place is really the trash bin.
