I'll only run out of gasoline.

Be sure to have a great Christmas.

 

[lucypevensie]

I'm not sure what you mean by "great Christmas." To you it might mean trouble-free. It might mean finding joy in the Savior's birth. It might mean you hope I get lots of good presents. It might mean all of that and more, or it might mean something else entirely that I couldn't posssibly think of myself. With all this in mind, I'll have to decline your request to have a great Christmas, whatever that may mean. How about you keep Christmas in your way and I'll keep it in mine?

Don't forget to go to your church's Christmas eve service today.

I can't; I already went! And what a nice time I had! (Sorry that isn't much of an excuse.)

Be sure to eat well today!

And seriously... I truly wish you all a very merry Christmas with your families and friends!

 

[lucypevensie]

I can't eat well when there is no nutritious food in the house.

Go stir the spaghetti sauce.

 

[WannaWitness]

It's too messy!

Get me a Diet Coke.

I wouldn't touch that stuff with a 10 foot pole.

[Historicus]

I don't have a bottle opener

Go get my mail for me

 

[lucypevensie]

There's probably no money in there for me, so I don't see why I should.

Take me out to dinner.

 

[Matthew-59]

I don't know what you like to eat. I'd be embarrassed if I took you to the wrong place and you wouldn't eat anything available on the menu. Then you'd prob'ly get mad at me for taking you there and I just couldn't handle that, so you'll have to go eat by yourself.

Sweep the snow off the sidewalk.

 

[lucypevensie]

But I like how it looks and I don't mind walking in it and getting snow all over my shoes and pants legs.

Wipe up the water all over the bathroom floor.

 

[Matthew-59]

I fergot where the mop is. I guess the water will just hafta evaporate.

Make some chocolate chip cookies for me.

 

[soyunagile7980]

My arms are really tired from pulling out the ingredients...flour, sugar, eggs, salt, baking powder, chocolate pieces, vanilla extract, bowl, mixer, cookie pan, turning on the oven, turning on the kitchen light, reaching for a measuring spoon, and the list goes on and on. Don't you think you could do the rest?

Go to the store and pick up some toilet paper.

 

[lucypevensie]

Don't you have a pile of old newspapers you could use instead? It'd be free and you wouldn't waste gas driving to the store.

Help me cut up some veggies for stir fry.
