No More Cats

Me: Debbie thinks she's got a couple more people who might take the stray cat off her hands.
Austin: That's good.
Me: It's a long hair. We can't have anymore long hairs.
Austin shoots me a threatening look.
Me: In the future. We have too many cats now.
Austin: Yeah. No more cats. I like the cats; we just have too many... Once we have a more manageable number, I'd like to do some work on this house. There's so much I'd like to replace.
Me: Yeah. ... Like the husband.
Pause. Austin crosses the kitchen, pulls the paring knife from the block and points it at me.
Me: You should use one of the bigger ones. It'd be too hard to kill me with that.
Austin: I just grabbed the closest one. It'd be too hard to get out the electric knife and plug it in.
