Twelve year-old Iris uber Alles is stoked to go on a Service Learning expedition to a senior citizen home. "I don't care if those old people like it; I'm gonna win at bingo! They get to play bingo all year, and I only play every six months!"
As Iris wandered out of the room, continuing to mutter about her desire to trounce each and every aged resident at bingo, I urged the Sober Husband to come look at our cats, Frowst and Henry, who were curled up on adjoining pillows. "Look! Look!"
"I'm looking," he said in a monotone, without looking up from his iPad. "Look-how-cute."
"I see you, and you are not looking! Look! Look!"
Finally he glanced at the cats and said, "We should take pictures and put them on the internet!"
"Now you're being sarcastic."
"I'm not being sarcastic; I'm being condescending."
