New Math

Kristy: You stink. Time for a shower. 

Don: No, not today. 

Kristy: Yes, today, tomorrow and Friday.

Don: No. 

Kristy: Hunter will be here in a couple of days. Do you want him to think you stink so bad he won’t stay to visit? 

Don: Is he bringing beer? 

Kristy: Of course. 

Don: Do I have any clean towels? (Delay Tactic #1) 

Kristy: A dozen sitting on your linen shelf. 

Don: Is the water hot? (Delay Tactic #2) 

Kristy: Back to normal after the power outage for 12 hours. 

Don: My clothes are dirty. (Delay Tactic #3) 

Kristy: Exactly why you need to take them off. I will get you clean clothes. 

Don: Now? 

Kristy: Now would be good. 

Must we go through this every time? 

Note to Self: I have unlocked a new trick using simple math. Hunter + beer = Shower.
