Life as my parents know it...
Dad: You know, one time your mom made me dinner, and it was like, corn, broccoli, and macaroni & cheese. I looked at her and said, "Where's the meat?"
Mom: Macaroni and cheese! Cheese has protein! Protein is in the meat group!
(Minutes later, we had to bring our waiter into the discussion to confirm that there was, in fact, no meat in that meal. Dottie Kemp never cooked it again. And that's how marriage starts!)
We have arguments like this all the time. There's no meat...there is protein...but there is no meat...meat is a protein...but there is no meat...meat and cheese are in the same food group...ad nauseum. My other favorite argument goes like this for example...Me: the sky sure is blue today...Dottie: There are clouds in the sky...Me: but the sky is blue...Dottie: There are clouds in the sky...etc.
