Once upon a time, my boyfriend, Kyle and I were having a dilemma. Kyle and I had just finished an intense game of putt putt (I won, of course), and we were both very hungry. I was in the mood for a taco, but kyle was in the mood for a burger. Things got heated. We argued about where we should go to eat. Normally one of us would just give up and let the other have their way, but today was different. These were no ordinary cravings. These were REAL CRAVINGS. Kyle was upset about having lost to me in putt putt, and I was upset with Kyle for throwing his putter into traffic. This upset-ness on top of our extreme hunger was a recipe for disaster. The argument was going no where fast. We were no where near deciding on a place to eat and we just kept getting hungrier and hungrier which made us get angrier and angrier. Neither of us were about to give up on our side of the argument. I thought that since I had beat Kyle at putt putt I should be able to choose where we go to eat. Kyle, on the other hand, thought that since he would be paying, he should choose where we eat. Neither of us were considering how the other person felt, and things got a little emotional. As we stood in the parking lot of Knights Action Park, screaming at each other, I got an idea. "let's get a third opinion" I said. "Fine!" Kyle screamed, veins in his forehead popping out, beads of sweat rolling down his face. I, calm and collected, called my good friend Mackenzie, thinking she would take my side. As the phone rang, Kyle continued sweating while I remained calm. A grin spread across my face as Mackenzie answered the phone. "Hello you've reached the Mackenzie residence, how may I help you?" "Hey! Me and Kyle can't decide where to eat. I want a taco and he wants a burger. HELP!"
"Calm down Rachel, I have the perfect solution. The rational approach to this would be to go get your taco through the drive-thru at Taco Bell and then eat your taco at Burger King." Mackenzie quickly hung up the phone. We did as Mackenzie said, and everything ended up happily ever after.
