My wife asked me to peel and top/tail some carrots. Since they were very
small, she decided she only wanted me to chop off "the tails".

Which end does "the team" think is the head and which the tail?

I'd say the head was the wider end, at the top when the carrot is growing
the ground and which has the leaves sprouting from it; and the tail is
the pointed end at the bottom as it grows.

But after querying "do you *really* mean the tail", it turned out that
she thought of the blunt end as the tail. She knows how carrots grow and
has grown many, so it's weird that she uses "tail" to mean the blunt end,
uppermost in the ground with leaves on it.

Am I going mad?

Nope, she's just got dementia now. Time to trade her in on a new bimbo.
