Austin is having a midlife crisis, so we now go to the YMCA twice a week to work out in addition to our daily walks. On Thursdays, before going to the Y, we eat out, careful to choose healthful meals. And of course, we’re democratic about these meals, each of choosing every other week.
Austin: I know it’s my turn, but since it’s your birthday, I think you should choose where we eat this week.
Me: It doesn’t really matter. It’s our anniversary also, so you might as well pick.
Austin: Your birthday is more important than our anniversary, so you pick.
Me: Well, you’re working, so it’s not like we can go somewhere special. Picking isn’t really important to me.
Austin: We’re going out this weekend. I didn’t think about taking your birthday DAY off. I wish I would have taken the day off. I’m sorry about that.
Me: It’s also our anniversary. Our TEN year anniversary.
Austin: We’re going out this weekend.
Me: You invited your friends. To our TEN year anniversary.
Austin: I asked your permission.
Me: I wanted you to be happy, because I’m too boring to spend the day with. You need your friends to make the day worthwhile.
Austin: You like X and Y too.
Me: That’s up there with the time Mom wanted to share a hotel room for our honeymoon.
