Win, Win, Meow, Meow

(My boyfriend and I are eating dinner and negotiating errands. Note that it is the day after garbage day, and as well, our cat is super annoying tonight, meowing constantly and scratching at the furniture.)

Me: “I will go to the store if you clean the kitchen.”

Boyfriend: “Okay. But you cleaned everything up earlier.”

Me: “You can make it up to me by cleaning out the fridge.”

Boyfriend: “Okay, too bad I forgot to do it yesterday.”

Me: “Okay, you can double promise to clean the fridge out next Monday before garbage day.”

Boyfriend: “Done.” *goes to play video games*

Me: “You have to DOUBLE PROMISE. Or else I’m leaving you and taking the cat.”

Boyfriend: “Win win.” *goes upstairs*

(I’m having silent fits of laughter knowing he doesn’t realize what he just said. He rushes back down.)

Boyfriend: “WAIT! I MEAN, WIN WIN JUST ON THE CAT, NOT THE OTHER THING!”
