IOU On Low IQ

(My roommate and I buy our supplies separately, and are relaxed about giving or ‘lending’ things to each other. She is a professor, but sometimes her logical thinking capacities get overtaxed and seem to have thrown in the towel during her free moments. We’re in a shop aisle.)

Roommate: “Here, take these two jars of pineapple. I still owe them to you.”

Me: “Riiight. Think about that for a second. You want to ‘give’ them to me before we each check out?”
