Idle Conversation

me -- Your mom sent these, too. I don't know what they are, but they look like dates. me -- Or maybe figs. Dates or figs, something like that. Idle husband -- (looking closely as if deeply pondering) I think they're nuts. me -- Well, they look like dates or figs. I really think they're figs... [Later that night] me -- (very surprised) Oh, look! They are nuts! You were right! IH -- (completely unsurprised) Yeah. I know they're nuts. I read it on the package. IH -- Nuts. It says so right there. me -- Ohhhh...well, you didn't seem to know earlier! Sheesh!
