If you had either, you would not be writing in your journal, and there are certain other third parties, official and otherwise, who I'm certain you would call on first in such an emergency.
Anne, what are you talking about? you know I'd call you first in the event of such an emerg
no, honestly, what's wrong? I'll go get the groceries. I can even clean the apartment today, though it'll be my corners, obviously, considering yours are impeccable already.
only when I can tell you're keeping something back, because you're annoyed with me somehow, and normally I'd just assume it was the ham (honestly, I am very sorry I forgot the groceries) but I know this is something different. because I can remember you being upset, but I don't think you've ever been openly upset with me before, which means it can't have happened yet.
oh. was it my turn again? I must have lost the memo.

Don't be absurd. I can tell you half a dozen things in a day and you hardly listen to a one of them.
You'll have to pick it up yourself, since you've rather nothing to do with graduation finished, and I've got several hours left of work at the office.

Good Lord, Toby, are you so insistent upon being lavished with attention at all times that you cannot let me return to my work?

I'm rather shocked you'd even noticed.
Enjoy your date. I won't be home to make dinner, so you'll have to fend for yourself.
