Two scoops and an extra sausage

Since I had my neck pain 3 months ago, my right shoulder became very weak to the point when it was difficult to carry anything or cook.

One evening we made Kung Pao chicken for dinner. As usual we put loads of vegetables in it to make it more healthy. We cut up mushroom, bell peppers, celery, onion, and chicken. With Jack's help, the preparation was a breeze.

I fully cooked the chicken, then put all of the chopped vegetables in the wok. Then it became too heavy for me to stir because of my hurt shoulder, so I assigned Jack to stir-fried the food, and I cleaned the dishes.

I told jack to go ahead and add the spicy sauce but "don't put in too much please." When I turned around, I saw that he put 2 extra scoops of spicy sauce in the food when I was not looking. He looked at me and smiled, and I said: "better put in as much as I want before she catches me." He nodded.

Another night, when we made pasta sauce, I told him to only put in one sausage because the ground turkey was quite a lot of meat. He put the second sausage in the sauce anyway when I was not looking. When I saw the sausage gone, I smiled and said to him: "you can say what you want, and I'll do what I want."  He smiled and nodded.

Isn't it fun when you can finish each other's sentences?
