Torn from the pages of real life
- *transmission begins*
- Husband: I have a problem. I want to make tea, but we don't have any sugar. Can I go to the shops and get some?
- Me: What are you talking about? There's a whole bag of sugar in the cupboard.
- Husband: Is there? Really?
- Me: It may be behind something.
- Husband: *pokes through cupboard*
- Husband: Do you mean... rice?
- Husband: Because we have rice.
- Husband: And I don't think I should put rice in my tea.
- Me: I did not mean rice.
- Husband: Did you know we have rice?
- Me: I did.
- Husband: *pokes through cupboard some more*
- Husband: I have found.... oh. Sugar.
- Me: Fancy that.
- Husband: Wait. This is icing sugar.
- Me: We have other sugar.
- Husband: *pokes through cupboard*
- Husband: Brown sugar?
- Me: No!
- Husband: Caster sugar?
- Me: Yes!
- Husband: The packet's empty.
- Me: What?
- Me: *gets up, comes to investigate*
- Husband: *brandishes packet of icing sugar*
- Me: That's icing sugar.
- Husband: I know.
- Husband: This is the caster sugar.
- Husband: *crumples completely empty packet of caster sugar*
- Me: Oh.
- Me: *pokes through cupboard*
- Me: Why are you asking me, anyway? I don't even use the sugar!
- Me: You're sure we don't have more?
- Husband: Not unless you count the icing sugar.
- Husband: Wait. Is icing sugar sugar?
- Me: ...
- Me: For your purposes, no.
- Husband: Right. Then I'm going to the shops.
- Husband: Otherwise I'll have to have ICED TEA.
- Husband: Get it?
- Husband: Iced tea?
- Husband: Because it has icing sugar in it?
- Me: I get it.
- Husband: I don't think you do. I'll explain it more slowly for you when I get back.
