So, have you ever gotten into your car with your husband (or wife) a little bit grumpy and a lot hungry a few minutes after 9:00pm on a Monday night looking for someplace delicious that is still open. And then after what seems like hours of driving around aimlessly you finally come to a unanimous agreement of Panda Express, so you enter the drive thru, after that car that sneaks in front of you, decide what to order, order it, and then realize that neither of you brought your wallets. So you frantically look through the car for cash and change laying around and come up with $2.00, which leaves you about $5.50 short. So you start to contemplate backing out of the drive thru to save just a little bit of face, only to have a car pull in behind you right then, blocking your escape?
Well if you have not, let me tell you how this ends. You sit in that drive thru for about five minutes fighting a little, laughing a little, deciding whether you should tell the cute little asian man what happened, just drive off, go home and come back, or just cut your losses and call it a night. Its finally your turn and without a definite decision your husband (we will call him "Sam") explains that we have no money, so the nice little asian man employee meals our food and we get it for $2.00.
So in our marriage we have decided that blaming one another is not healthy, but in this circumstance I have to go with 80%-20%.
20% my fault for actually thinking Sam would bring his wallet. What was I thinking?
80% Sam's fault because well.....you know.

You people think you're so clever. Anybody with half a brain(and now half a leg) knows that if you just wait till after close you can find all the Panda Express you want out back in their dumpster for $free.99. "A" for effort though!
So impressed that you were able to scrounge up two bucks in the car - I would have had to offer a small Buzz Lightyear action figure or a size three diaper. Also, don't tell Chuck about this 'not assigning blame' thing in the marriage; he might want to try it.
$free.99? Hahahahaha!
