SH: I'm getting a Milwaukee Roll. I need to cut back.
Me: OK.
Later.
SH: Are you going to eat the last HobNob?
Me: No, I left it for you.
SH: I'm going to have some cake instead. Tomorrow, I have a long layover in Minneapolis. I'll get ice cream there.
Me: I thought you said you were cutting back.
SH: Not when I'm traveling. That doesn't count.
Me: What about the cake tonight?
SH: I'm consoling myself because I have to leave tomorrow. I deserve a treat tonight.
Me: So when are you going to cut back?
SH: When there are no extenuating circumstances. I'll cut back at home, unless there's a good reason not to.

Ah, those extenuating circumstances; they always get the best of us.
