H – “Hello?”
W – “Honey, it’s me. Are you at the club?”
H – “Yes.”
W- “Great! I am at the mall two blocks from where you are. I just saw a beautiful mink coat. It’s absolutely gorgeous!! Can I buy it?”
H – “What’s the price?”
W- “Only $1,500.00.”
H – “Well, OK, go ahead and get it, if you like it that much…”
W – “Ahhh, and I also stopped by the Lexus dealership right next to the mall…”
H – “Okay…”
W – “They have the new model I’ve been eyeing for months. It’s finally in stock—silver exterior, leather seats, sunroof—the works!”
H – “How much is it?”
W – “Only $62,000. But it’s a limited-time offer. The sales guy said if I put down a deposit today, he’ll hold it until you can come take a look.”
H – (pauses) “Alright… put down the deposit. But make sure it’s fully loaded, if we’re spending that kind of money.”
W – “Oh my gosh, thank you, honey! Oh! And one more thing…”
H – “There’s more?”
W – “Remember that vacation house in Aspen we talked about? The one that was way over budget?”
H – “Vaguely…”
W – “Well, it just went on sale for 30% off! I already called the realtor and she says we could get it if we make an offer today.”
H – (deep sigh) “Do whatever you think is best.”
W – “You’re the best, sweetheart! I love you!”
H – “Love you too… wait, who is this again?”
W – “…It’s me, your wife!”
H – “Oh no. I think you have the wrong number.”
