Me: “Oh, before I forget, the consultant is making us breakfast on Monday.”

She: “She’s making it herself? Uh-oh.”

Me: “Making it…buying it and bringing it in…I’m not sure. Why?”

She: “…”

Me: “What? Spit it out.”

She: “Are you sure she’s not going to poison us?”

Me: “Why would she do that? She wouldn’t get paid.”

She: “Maybe that’s why she didn’t have any bad references?”

Me: “Because all her former clients are dead? Hmmm…you have a point. Maybe we could get Patrick to take the first bite.”

She: “Good idea.”
