It's funny cause it's true, you know it is, but men just think we're brainless when it happens when really this is going on:
M : Let's go out to eat
W: OMG that sounds great I'm starving (I just realized I haven't eaten in forever and hangry is fast approaching, I think I could eat just about anything right now)
M : Where do you want to go?
W : (Sushi. No Hibachi and sushi. Yes, omg. I could tear up some Japanese steak and fish right about now. If I say that he's going to think that's too expensive. It IS too expensive. Great, now I've got like a full on craving for something we can't afford. I'm a jerk. What was I thinking? He's probably wanting something specific, we'll just go there) I don't know, what do you feel like?
M : Tacos? (tacos)
W : (ugh, I mean, I can make tacos at home. If we're going to go somewhere it should at least be something I would never cook, right? I can make that cheaper and mine taste better..) No, I don't want tacos, didn't we just have tacos? I don't know...
M : (Why did she ask me if she didn't want me to pick, Sigh) How about like Ryans, I think they have a deal? (They make everything, she can work that out)
W: (Do I look like I'm PMSing. I mean that's the only way I can get our monies worth out of a buffet. Plus I can't really rationalize that many calories right now, I'm not THAT hungry. He's going to get that look on his face if I shoot this one down too... maybe I should just suggest something else... but WHAT? I don't want him to spend too much but I don't want to eat junk, so hungry...)
M : ...... Burgers? (lord just let me find the right answer here)
W : (Wasn't he paying attention when I went shopping this week? The only dinner we have left to make at home is burgers. I thought we talked about meal planning, course he was looking at his ipad the whole time, probably didn't hear me anyway.) We'll just do tacos.
M : Is that what you want?
W : Sure.
M : (Why couldn't she just agree with that in the first place?) Okay.
W : Are you sure you want tacos though? (Great now I'm committed to tacos and suddenly that sounds like the worst idea ever. So much salt, I think I'm at my salt limit... no wonder my pants are tight, that's what it is. I'm worried about these jeans and it's probably just the salt I ate yesterday and now he wants tacos? ugh why did I start thinking about expensive food? Like crab... mmmm crab would be crazy good right now, but that would be like a $50 meal and I could spend that on groceries for a few days. Why would I spend that kind of money on one meal? I could get all kinds of stuff for $50 and use way more than once. I should just stay home, save money, so hungry...)
