Peppered With Oddities

(I’m getting stuff ready to put in the slow cooker for dinner later. One of the ingredients is banana peppers, but I can’t get the jar open, so I bring it to my husband. It’s important to note that I rarely eat banana peppers, and I’m pregnant.)

Me: “Hey, sweetheart, could you open this jar for me, please?”

Husband: *looks at the jar, then at me* “Uh, sure. This is kind of an odd thing for you to want.”

Me: “I’m putting something in the slow cooker for dinner later.”

Husband: “Oh, that makes a lot more sense.”

Me: *jokingly* “Yeah, I’m just craving banana peppers at nine am.”
