Wassy was over last night, as generally happens on Wednesday nights these days. And, as also generally happens, we ended up at Applebee's for dinner.

This story requires a little bit of explaining: Usually when we go out to eat, we get separate checks. We both pay by some form of a credit/debit card, which means that we both need to sign the recipts. 99% of the time, they only bring 1 pen to the table along with the 2 checks. And since we're both very mature and reasonable adults…we usually lunge for the single pen as soon as it hits the table in order to aquire it first.

A couple weeks ago, the waitress didn't drop the pen quick enough and I jumped the gun, grabbing it from her hand, a fact which will become important later. Last night, as mentioned before, we went to Applebee's, got seperate checks and again, 1 pen. The waitress set it down and waited for a second at the table. We both lunged at the pen (Wassy got it first…blast!) and the waitress said "Ooooh, you're the people who fight over the pen!"

We need to find a new place to eat. Now we're the crazy pen people at Applebee's.
