Shopping shenanigans
Scene: Grocery store cereal aisle
Me: Did you get my cereal?
Wife: There is no such thing as “Barb’s Wheat Squares.”
Me: Hm. Wait, here they are.
Wife: Those? Are those wheat?
Me: Uh, multigrain?
Wife: Are they squares?
Me: Technically, they’re hexagons.
Wife: Are they called Barb’s Wheat Squares?
Me: Um, no. They’re called Barbara’s Shredded Spoonfuls.
Wife: Uh huh.
Me: Right. Well, I’ll just…
Wife: Put those back. I knew what you meant.

P.S. I love shenanigans, wherever and by whomever they happen, and I really enjoy how LATW yanks your chain and how you think it’s adorable.

That is pretty much de rigueur around here - nobody knows what the real name of anything is called. It’s only when we have no idea WTF the other person is talking about that tempers flare up:
Her: “..and then put some of the lemonade in the POM cup…”
Me: “The *what?*”
Her: “You know, the POM cup.”
Me: “No… I actually have no idea what you’re talking about.”
Her: “Forget it - it’s not even worth explaining to you.”
I later find out that this is a tall glass jar that once contained POM pomegranate juice…
