And This is Why I Drink

RIC: It’s Sunday!

ME: . . . and you are cooking since I took you out for a posh dinner for our anniversary last night?

RIC: Don’t be silly.

ME: How can you even think about food? I am still full from last night.

RIC: You won’t be full all day.

ME: I just want to take it easy and relax today. If we are hungry later, can’t we just order in?

RIC: But it’s Sunday.

ME: So.

RIC: Tell you what . . . since it IS our anniversary weekend, I don’t want you to work too hard. Instead of cooking all day, you can make “poor man’s spaghetti.”

ME: Poor man’s spaghetti?

RIC: Only three meats instead of four.

ME: Open the wine.
