FAMILY, LIFE 2011-12-07
i'm pretty spent, would you settle for some ramen noodles?
these were the first words i heard saturday morning:
MARTY
i was about to have some graham crackers but then you woke up and it occurred to me that maybe i could instead have some macs and cheese.
if you're wondering what that is about, it is code talk between marty and i. if you're wondering what the code is, i'll give you a second hint. the code was born when marty approached me one night and asked if i had time in my schedule to fulfill my husbandly duties.
MARTY
so would you maybe have some time for your wife this evening?

TROY
it depends.

MARTY
what does it depend on?

TROY
it depends if you're after steak and potatoes or kraft macaroni and cheese.
and with that, a new lingua franca was born.

and, i'll let your imagination guess where graham crackers might fall on that scale.
