U – What is wit youse guys?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ursula woke up and stared at Ulysses, lying there making that fake snoring sound, pretending to be asleep. Poking him, she said, \u201cYou are not fooling anyone. Get out of bed and make my coffee; it\u2019s your turn.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ulysses opened one eye and mumbled, \u201cYou can make your own coffee. I made it yesterday.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ursula\u2019s poke was a little bit stronger this time. \u201cYou made it yesterday morning,\u201d she replied, \u201cI made it last night, so it\u2019s your turn.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou think you\u2019re so smart,\u201d Ulysses thought, but out loud, he said, \u201cYou\u2019re right, as usual, I will make your coffee.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ursula got dressed and came downstairs for breakfast. On the dining room table was a cup of coffee. Well, there was a cup and granules of coffee in it, but it was missing one ingredient: hot water.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ever the joker, Ulysses could see the perplexed look on her face. \u201cI\u2019m sorry, I made your cup of coffee. Did you want it with water also?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

I would say that the day went downhill from there, but since this was how their days usually went, I would have to say things continued on level ground. But for some unknown reason, they stayed together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou! You!\u201d she grimaced, \u201cWhy do I even stay with you?\u201d She said as she added the hot water from the tea kettle (at least Ulysses had set it up) to her cup.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ulysses politely made a ham and egg on muffin breakfast special, put it on a plate, and placed it in front of Ursula. \u201cBecause I cater to you\u2019re every whim,\u201d he said, \u201cAnd you love me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ursula had no response, so she just had her coffee and ate her breakfast.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat do you want to do today?\u201d Ursula asked.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat do you want to do?\u201d was Ulysses’ response.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI always decide, it\u2019s your turn,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAh, then I decide we should do nothing all day,\u201d he announced.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou always do nothing. Let\u2019s go shopping.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd you always go shopping,\u201d Ulysses was quick to say. \u201cI vote for nothing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf I do nothing all day, I\u2019ll go stir-crazy. We at least have to do something,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

He suggested,\u00a0 \u201cHow about we watch the ballgame? I see that the Mets are playing at 2:00.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnother ballgame? How many do they play in a week? It seems like every day.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYeah,\u201d Ulysses answered sarcastically, \u2018that\u2019s how the baseball season works.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWell, You can watch your baseball. I\u2019m going out.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ursula left the breakfast dishes for Ulysses to deal with and sent some texts to her friends. She was about to head out when she turned to Ulysses and said, \u201cDon\u2019t forget we\u2019re having dinner tonight with your co-worker, Uriah.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRight,\u201d he responded, \u201cand that woman from your book group, Uma.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She added, \u201cI\u2019m hoping they\u2019ll hook up. They are perfect for each other.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou should know,\u201d look at how well we turned out,\u201d he said as she left for the day.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the door closed, neither could hear each other say, \u201cI hope you\u2019ve planned a good meal. We should make a good impression on them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

What happened that evening? Regardless of Ulysses and Ursula’s attempt at a truthful portrayal of a well-matched couple in front of Uriah and Uma, I am certain that unforeseen consequences will follow. Any guesses?<\/span><\/p>\n
