I was browsing the mall alone one day and was just strolling around the shops. I happened to overhear a conversation between a couple when I settled myself on one of those benches inside the mall. It wasnt intentional but it was a hilarious exchange and I couldnt help myself from making it into a blog by itself. So without much ado, here we go:
[I got to also overhear that the parents of the wife were in town and were babysitting their child while the couple were out at the mall...]
Wife: Lets go somewhere this weekend...
Husband: Ye, but what do you have in mind?!?!?!
W: Its a long weekend and lets do a 3 day trip. It would be an outing for our folks too.
H: Yes, but I dont intend spending a fortune on these 3 days. Besides, your folks cant eat bread or sanwich or any of this stuff and would want to go to a desi reataurant. That would mean a huge dent...No way!
W: The why the **** did you ask me for a suggestion?
H: Well, I thought you had something local in mind. Not an out-of-town trip.
W: Yeah right! Am sure you would have planned months ahead if it was your folks visiting and would not have spared any effort in ensuring they visited the best of places. Well, what are my folks??? Second class citizens?
H: [Looking dumbstruck...didnt know what to say...So I guessed may be the wife was right]...I never said that. Its just that if we go on a last minute trip we will end up spending a lot more than if we had planned for it before...
W: You always do this. I thought it would get better since we came onsite...Nothing has changed[The wife has a long face then says...]...Atleast lets take them to dinner today.
H: Hmmm...well my wife is the best cook in the world. So why spend money eating food that doesnt taste half as good...Besides, lets have a nice quiet dinner and then we can catch a late night movie....
W: [Looking defeated...Didnt know whether to feel happy about the compliment of a good cook or If her husband was just trying to postpone the spending...]
