Every day when 5pm strikes, Mrs.B makes a call to me and asks what I want for dinner. The daily ritual goes something like this;
MrsB: Hey babe, what do you want for dinner?
Me: What do you want?
MrsB: I’ll have whatever you want?
Me: How about some Chicken Kiev?
MrsB: No, I don’t want that. 
Me: Okay, how about I make us Lasagne?
MrsB: No, it’s too meaty.
Me: Fine. Let’s just get Fish Fingers.
MrsB: No, I had fish yesterday.
Me: So what do you want to eat then?
MrsB: I’m not fussy, we’ll have whatever you want.
 
This happens every day during the week where I actually have to guess what MrsB wants even though, she doesn’t know what it is that she wants. So after a few months of this standard conversation, I finally said;

‘You know we do this every day? We have the same exact conversation every day?'
MrsB smiles on the other end of the phone and responds with;
‘Yeah, but it’s our thing.’
