Wonderful Wife: “What’s for dinner?”

Me: “I want to eat out, but I’m too tired to go anywhere. Let’s have food delivered.”

WW: “Sure thing. What do you want?”

Me: “I want food delivered.”

WW: “Yeah, but what type of food.”

Me: “I want the type of food that shows up in front of me.”

WW: “Anything?”

WW: “Wow. Are you up to chewing it yourself?”

Me: “I’ll struggle through it.”

WW: “You’re a real inspiration to us all.”

Me: “You’re welcome.”
