My Exciting Saturday Night
T: What do you want to do tonight?
Me: I don’t know. What do you want to do?
T: It’s Saturday night. (*pause*) Maybe we should go out or something…
Me: (*pause*) Um, sure.
T: Any ideas where you want to go?
Me: I guess we could go out in Hermosa. I hate going out in LA and all the bars around here are a little more dressed up than I feel like being tonight.
T: Okay, sounds good.
[An hour later. Have driven to Hermosa and circled looking for parking for what feels like a million years, but was actually probably 10 minutes.]
Me: Sorry, I forgot what a pain parking is this late. (*sigh*) I really wish we’d just ordered a pizza and stayed in tonight.
T: Yeah, that would have been perfect.
Me: Wait – I thought you wanted to go out tonight?
T: No, I LOVE staying in. I thought YOU wanted to go out!
Me: Seriously? I’d like nothing better than to rent a video and order some pizza. Wanna head back?
T: Oh, thank god. I was afraid we’d actually have to go out tonight!
Me: Me too. Looks like we dodged the bullet on that one. Well, technically, we’re in the vicinity of the bars. That’s almost like we went, right?
T: Um, sure.
