You Only Prod The Ones You Love

A recent email exchange between Eric and I:

Me: sarah (our babysitter) will be here tonight. what time should i tell her you'll be home? any chance you'll come home earlier tonight?

Eric: Maybe. Ask me later in the day

Me: If you could be home at 6:15, I wouldn't need her at all.....

Eric: Anything is possible at 8:55AM. Might be impossible by noon though

Me: but you can make the impossible possible...that's what you do!

Eric: When did you start reading & believing my marketing material?!?

Me: i only believed it for about 5 minutes, but i had to read it enough to know what to throw back into your face when convenient.
