[Ghoulish Delight]

The strangest things can make you appreciative.

The other night, CP was working late and I was home alone scouring the pantry for something for dessert. My best option turned out to be toast with butter and jam (mmmmm). So I get all the components together (umm, toast, butter, and jam, check) and go to the silverware drawer. To my horror, I find no knives left! A quick glance at the sink, no clean knives. Dishwasher...dirty. Damnit! Does this mean I'm going to have to wash a knife? The HORROR!

But wait! There's one last hope. I rush back to the silverware drawer and start sifting through the pile of serving utensils looking for my last hope, the butter knife. Alas, not there. Could it be...to confirm my suspicion, I check the dishwasher. Sure enough, there it is covered in butter, already used by CP that morning.

And I laughed. I laughed out loud because it suddenly struck me how happy it made me that she and I went through precisely the same thought process and arrived at the same solution to such a life-threatening situation.

Then I grabbed a steak knife from the knife block because I wasn't going to wash no damned knife.
