Hubby: I am cooking steak tonight!
Mel: Nom nom steak!
Hubby: Yus! With onions and all good things. I am also purchasing seafood to add to my leftover laksa, which you cannot eat due to all the coconut in it, which I plan to eat tomorrow.
Mel: Coconut, ew and also ow. And yet your laksa is so delicious that it tempts me to eat it every time. Silly me. What a good thing I can eat your nom nom steak.
Hubby: Indeed! Oh look, a sushi bar. Would you care to purchase some sushi for yourself?
Mel: ...If I eat sushi now, I shall not have room for nom nom steak later.
Hubby: Horrors! Could you save it in the fridge until tomorrow, and have it for lunch?
Mel: Perhaps, but I choose not to, for refrigerated sushi is an abomination unto my tastebuds.
Hubby: Then there shall be no sushi for you, since there is nom nom steak tonight! Come away from temptation, my love!
[Mel and The Handsome Hubby leave, sushi-less. Later:]
Hubby: I have looked again at the prawns which I purchased today, and if I wait until tomorrow to cook them they shall be off. Therefore I am cooking myself my laksa tonight, and nom nom steak is postponed until tomorrow! Find your own dinner.
[Exit Hubby, stage right, towards delicious laksa with prawns and other assorted seafood. Mel pouts.]
Mel: ...I shoulda got the danged sushi.
[Later still:]
Mel: HA HA I HAVE MY REVENGE! I have eaten almost all of the smoked salmon you were saving to have later! Look, I left you one slice, just enough to tantalise without satisfying, you sushi-denier!
Hubby: WOE I AM WOUNDED.
Hubby: I am cooking steak tonight!
