Sheridan (aged 26… for the last 18 consecutive years): <Banging salsa jar, then yelling across house.> “Jim, come be the man.”
Jim (not aged 26 for a very long time): <Approaches Sheridan and hugs her from behind.> “So, what you’re saying is, you need a man?”
Sheridan: “Just open the jar… man.”
Jim: “Go ahead. Say it. You need a man.”
Grace (aged 8): <Turns salsa jar upside down, bangs it on the counter, opens lid. Walks away.>
Sheridan: <Laughter.>
Jim: <Sigh.>
