Cooked!
He: “So I’m standing here trying to fix dinner …”
She: “Fix dinner? I didn’t know it was broken.”
He: “Right. How ’bout you give me a break?”
She: “Where?”
He: “Um .. as I was saying. I get a saucepan, open the box, pour the contents of the box into the saucepan, add water … and now the box tells me to stir thoroughly.” Where do I find this thoroughly thingy?”
She: “No clue. I’ve been looking for years. Never found one. Carry on without it. You’ll probably do fine.”
He: “OK, I … dang it!!”
She: “What?”
He: “The blamed instructions tell me to bring to boil. No way! I ain’t bringin’ nothin’ noplace! Even if I knew where to find boil any more than I know where to find the thoroughly. That saucepan is on the stove where it belongs, and it’s stayin’ there until it’s done!”
She: “[Sigh] Relax, love. Boil figured out this flaw in the instructions a long time ago. Leave the pan on the stove. Turn on the burner. The boil will come to you. Trust me on this.”
He: “OK. I guess I’ll just keep cookin’.”
She: “No!”
He: “What ‘no’?? You want me to try to put this wet, slimy stuff back in the box? And go hungry??”
She: “I want you to cook your dinner. Not you! Are you wearing your suntan lotion?”
He: “In the kitchen?!”
She: “In Hawai‘i. Where you’re broiling under the hot sun!”
He: “Not in the kitchen two hours after sunset, I’m not.”
She: “Phew! For once, I get a break!”
He: “Where?”

Call the dentist. I think I just cracked a grin.
You guys are too funny!
Wow, if I tried that, I’d be handed a spoon and an empty kitchen!
I’ve learned to keep my mouth shut for safety…
Trying to catch up on my reading (I’m waaaaaay behind). You guys are too funny
Do me a favour and give Thom love and an extra hard hug from me, and tell him how sorry I am about Henry. Wish I could do that myself.
Hope you enjoy your trip!!
