We make a lot of deals

(Driving home one evening...)

Elizabeth: "I'm so hungry!"

Me: "I thought your tummy hurts."

Elizabeth: "Nope. I want a cheeseburger."

Me: "Oh, I don't know... maybe not tonight."

Elizabeth: "But, I want one! OK, I have a deal. Let's go to Burgerville, and if they have cheeseburgers we will get one! And, if they don't have cheeseburgers we'll go home! And, you'll make me a cheeseburger! How 'bout that?"

Me: "I cannot argue with that deal."
