A Cross-Examination Might Be Necessary

You may have realized that we've gone from July to August. Apparently, Hick has not. I told him on Monday morning that he needs to bring home a new menu from the Senior Center. The last one went to August 1, which was Friday. A day that Hick pooh-poohed his bag lunch he took to his SUS2.5 (Storage Unit Store 2.5), and went to eat lasagna at the Senior Center.

Monday evening, I asked Hick what he had for lunch that day.

"Some kind of taco thing. It wasn't very good."

"Huh. You would have known if you'd brought home a menu on Friday." [They give them out on the last week of the current menu.] Where's the new one?"

"I don't think they have them ready yet."

"I don't want to miss a Reuben! That's why I want to look over the menu for August. In case there's a lunch that I like, so you can bring me one for supper."

"The Reuben is next Friday."

"Will you get one for me?"

"I usually don't go there on Fridays. I take my lunch."

"But you went LAST Friday, for lasagna! And the week before, for Christmas Dinner in July."

"I'll see..."

I sense a double standard here! Hick is willing to go eat at the Senior Center on Fridays when it suits him, but not sure he can tear himself away from his SUS2.5 to eat there and bring home a Reuben for me. 

Also, how did Hick know that Reubens would be next Friday if there was no menu available???
