The Sweet Husband

From the Home of the Insane

More conversations from the home of the insane and sometimes inane.

sweet husband: I don't know what I want to eat.

Me: Think about it and let me know, and I will see if it's on the list of things I might want to cook.

SH: I don't think that's how that is supposed to go.

me: How what is supposed to go?

SH: That if I get hungry for something, you check some list to see if it's on there and if it is, you will cook it.

Me: I was thinking more of might cook it, rather than will cook it.

SH: Nope, that is definitely not how that's supposed to go. You are supposed to say, yes honey, if that's what you want to eat that's what we are having for dinner.

Me: Has that ever happened before?

SH: I think so, one time, back in the late 70's or early 80's.

me: the way I think it works,is if you are hungry for it and it's not on my list, then you cook it, and just to be nice, I will probably eat some of it, but I will tell you how good it is and what a good job you did.

sh: You are good about telling me I did a good job, but I really think you should just throw that damn list away and start over, beginning with whatever it is I want to eat tonight.

Me: I can't do that, I have worked hard on that list.

SH: what is on the list for tonight anyway?

Me: I was going to pick up barbeque from Whups.

SH: That's what I was hungry for anyway, so you can keep that list tonight and we will argue about this some more next time I don't know what I want to eat.
