Married Conversations: Saturday Wait (for a breakfast sandwich)

Frage: "I got you a different breakfast sandwich.  It's called The Cure."
UIM: "Is it supposed to be a hangover remedy."
Frage: "No, it's cured meats."
UIM: "I guess I'm just glad it doesn't look like Robert Smith."
Frage: "Every time I see it, I chuckle and think, 'Friday I'm in Love'."
UIM: "But today is Saturday."
Frage: "Yes."
UIM: "Are you all out of love?"
Frage: "No."
UIM: "Because that would be an Air Supply."

Married Conversations: Something Might Be Found

(After Frage comes in, and is throwing out her coffee cup.)
Frage:"So, yeah, I got myself coffee as a little treat."
UIM: "The pool was closed, so you walked the whole time?"
Frage: "No.  I swam, then walked."
UIM: " I really should just standardize it as 'How as your walk/swim?'"
Frage: "Or you could look for clues, like, my hair is wet."
UIM: "Now, listen, I am barely awake until noon, on my best days.  So, don't expect too much from me and -" (realizes) "you might not be let down and goddamnit I am quoting a Gin Blossoms song."
