"Oh, are you attacking from home today?"

"I thought I was a hoarder, but it turns out I'm a prepper."

The kitchen at night.

'Did you do the housework like I asked?'

"What should we do for my birthday?. . . I shouldn't have to plan my own birthday."

"No, not again! Honestly, Honey, sometimes I think you do the laundry wrong just so I won't ask you to do it!"

"...But it's only Thursday. I'll be confused all day now."

'You'll have more luck getting the sword out of the stone than getting the remote control out of his hand.'

Mission accomplished.

"Forget George, he scarfs down everything in sight. Aunt Rose and Grandma are good for slipping us a slice. Most important, the kids are sloppy. We're bound to find some juicy scraps under their chairs. Stay alert!"

'You may be the CEO of a large corporation, but at home you're an OMW, observe my whims!'
