And this is why I drink . . .
ME: I am not making spaghetti tonight.
RIC: Why not?
ME: We have too many leftovers. We need to eat those.
RIC: I don’t like leftovers.
ME: I am not cooking more food.
RIC: Then let’s order Chinese.
ME: We have leftover beef pepper steak in the fridge. Why order Chinese when we have it? I will just make some rice to go with.
RIC: I don’t like leftovers and I don’t want that. I want something else.
ME: It’s seems like a waste of money when we have Chinese in the fridge.
RIC: But I want fresh.
ME: Fine. Look at the menu and tell me what you want.
RIC: [spends a few minutes looking at the restaurant menu]
ME: I think I will just order hot and sour soup and eat the leftovers. Have you decided?
RIC: Yes. I want wonton soup, egg rolls, and an order of beef pepper steak.
ME: Open the wine.
