Now We’re Even
Amy and I were eating breakfast at Panera, when we discovered that the sausage and potato quiche had bell peppers in it.
Amy doesn’t care for bell peppers.
So instead of sharing the quiche and accompanying breakfast sandwich, I took the quiche, and gave her the sandwich.
Amy, knowing I liked the breakfast sandwich, saved a bit at the end for me.
I judged that she hadn’t eaten enough.
“Take another bite,” I said, passing it back. “A big bite.”
Amy took a small bite, while pretending it had been a big one.
“Why do you always subvert my commands?” I asked her, a trifle unfairly.
Amy, quite unaware of my mood and the potential consequences of her words, answered brightly “Well, you always subvert what I say, so now we’re even.”
