Arguing Semantics

September 7, 2008

Actual conversation while camping:

Him:  Thanks for the show you gave us while getting ice from the store.

Me:  There was barely any ice in the container!  I had no choice but to lean over real far to get ice bags.

Her: It was funny watching you stumble off that step.  You totally forgot it was there.

Me: I did not forget!  I just didn’t know it was there!

Her: You had to know it was there, you stepped up it to get the ice in the first place.

Me:  Well, I just didn’t remember it was there.

Her: So, would you say you forgot then?

Me: (chagrined) Oh. Yeah, I forgot.
