Him: "Do we have any chocolate in the house?"

Me: "No! We are dieting, remember?"

Him: "Well, it IS the weekend, and I think I REALLY need something chocolate! No cookies or candy?" 

Me: "Nothing at all.....but perhaps I can bake a little warm chocolate cake for you...would you like that?"

Him: "I knew I loved you for many reasons....."
