A Real Life Conversation Between a Married Couple

Reed:  So I used our debit card and I spent _____ dollars on tuition.

Meghan (mockingly straight-faced):  Oh, that might be a problem since I spent $2000 on a shopping spree last night.

Reed (in his joking voice):  What?!

Meghan:  That's right.  I spent $2000 on
Subway sandwiches.

Reed:  You couldn't have.  We get alerts if we spend more than $1 on that card.  *(Alerts are set up so that we know if the card gets stolen...especially since we almost never use that particular card)*

Meghan:  I know.  That's why I bought the sandwiches in 99 cent increments.

Reed:  Oh good thinking!  Way to get around that. 

Notice that my husband didn't appear to have a problem with me buying a bajillion Subway sandwiches.  ;-)
