Vegetating On His Decision

(My husband and I are both avid carnivores, but I like to switch things up with the occasional vegetarian dish. He usually makes himself something else when I do this.)

Me: “Honey, what do you want for dinner? Your choices are vegetarian chili or roast beef.”

Husband: “Believe it or not, I want the vegetarian chili. I had a giant cheeseburger for lunch, so I want something light.”

Me: *suspiciously* “Okay…”

(Later, as we are eating.)

Husband: “Ugh, why doesn’t this chili contain any meat?”

Me: “Let me get this straight. You requested a vegetarian meal, and now you’re irritated that it doesn’t have any meat?”

Husband: *cheerfully* “I’m so glad I married you! No other woman would understand. Let’s make all our vegetarian food with meat from now on, okay, darling?”
