Ralph: Hi, honeybunch! Would you like me to take you out for dinner tonight?
June: Thanks, but I've been cooking all afternoon, and dinner will be ready in ten minutes!
Ralph: OK, but don't say I never ask!
Honeybunch didn’t play that right at all! There are two options here. 1 – Say fine, and put your meal away to be leftovers tomorrow. 2 – Take a raincheck for tomorrow night. Say, “I have dinner about ready but we can go out tomorrow night.”
He could have noted her fixing supper, stopped her progress and suggested she instead just go to the nearest take-out place and pick up something for thier meal while he held down the fort. She’s have wiggled all over herself with pleasure with that suggestion. don’t you all think?

Oh your so sly, asking when dinner is almost ready. I bet she’s been on to your ways for a long time.

But it’s easier for man-haters to say, “jerk….”

Like too many couples, they seem to prefer having misunderstandings. I prefer to go along with whatever my man suggests. Macush has it right.

Does Mrs. Drabble actually have a first name? All I ever see Ralph calling her is Honeybunch…and of course all the kids just call her Mom.
