SH: We could finish the movie.*
Me: Good.
SH: Or I could go running.
Me: Um-hmm.
SH: Or I could watch [some political thing].
Me: Oh that would be swell.
SH: Or we could [wxyz].
Me: If you really wanted [wxyz], you would have put it at the top of the list.
SH: What do you want to do?
Me: Watch the rest of the movie.
SH: So you don't want me to ignore you and go running and do political things?
Me: I don't care if you ignore me. Just do it after we watch the movie.
* We started the movie Rock Star last night. Yes, the story is a cliche. Yes, it's about a heavy metal band. But sometimes, there is a primitive appeal to heavy metal. Sometimes, it's fun to crank up AC/DC on the radio and roll down the window as you drive along the highway. There is a tiny little bit of rebellious teenage boy in all of us.
