    My main problem with this is that I am not a constant person! So every time I’m likely to take something new.

    And still, my partner reads my mind correctly most of the time. Sometimes, they’ll tell me “check the second page of the menu, you’ll like it” and they are always right. Magical partner…

      Orrrrrrrr…they just have one of those Men In Black eye flasher memory wiper things. They ask you “Hey, what do you like from the menu?” “OOOOH! The chicken strips on the second page of the menu looks good!” “Cool. Hey, look at this cool toy pen I got!” “What?” FLASH! “Hey, have you checked the second page of the menu? I bet those chicken strips look pretty good to you, don’t they?” “OMG BABE! YOU KNOW ME SO WELL!!!”

      And then 30 years later you have dementia. Yeah, this just got dark REAL QUICK!!! But you didn’t think decades of manipulating your brains ability to remember things came without consequence, do you? I mean, The MIB just flashy brain people once, and then move on with their lives. You’ve been flashy brained like hundreds of thousands of times. Anytime he says the wrong thing, “Hey, check out this cool pen…”

      And that, fellas, is how you avoid arguments with your wife!

      There are 12 things on the second page, surely one of them will work!

      But seriously, having a rough idea does work most of the time but I gave up with my wife because while she does have favorites she gets sick of them and also various foods don’t sit well with her so it is a crapshoot even when she picks. I just can’t keep up with that.
