Now instead of just buying your latte on the way to the park, you can make it at home- which of course means doing the preparing, and cleaning it up- which of course are things you really love to do..."<br /><br />"Meanwhile- did you pack my lunch yet?

How about I buy you a six pack and you stop hitting the bar with your fucking friends every Saturday night?,"<br /><br />C) "Oh, so I suppose this means I'm NEVER supposed to leave the house EVER," and<br /><br />D) "I don't even really like Lattes.
