Spice Up Your Life

(My fiancée has just finished making dinner and enters the bedroom to get me.)

Fiancée: “Dinner’s ready! But it turned out spicier than I thought it would. I didn’t put that much pepper in it.”

Me: “Well, what else did you put in it?”

Fiancée: “Um… I put in some chili powder.”

Me: “Well, that might have something to do with it.”

Fiancée: “But I didn’t use that much! And chili powder’s not hot!”

Me: “Um… it comes from the chili pepper.”

Fiancée: “But not all chilis are hot! I use chili powder all the time in my… um… turkey… stew… thing…”

Me: “Do you mean your chili?”

Fiancée: “Yes!”

Me: “Did you seriously forget that the dish you use chili powder in is called chili?”

Fiancée: “Yes!”
