It is Thanksgiving, and Josh is preparing the dinner table. He has prepared a roast turkey with stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed sweet potatoes with marshmallows, pumpkin pie, pecan pie, and apple pie, and has a box of chocolates. He gets a phone call. It is from his friend Julia, who is going to be coming over for dinner soon.
"Hi Julia," he says. "When do you think you'll get here?" he asks.
"In about an hour," she answers.
"Nice," he says. "And remind me, what are you bringing with you?"
"Let's see," she answers. "I've got roasted Brussel sprouts, a spinach salad, orzo salad and some tofurky. And what did you make?"
Josh tells her. "You're stuff sounds really healthy," he says.
"Yes, and your stuff sounds really sweet," she responds.
"Well," Josh says laughing a bit to himself, "I probably have a bit of a sweet tooth."
"No, not probably," Julia says. "Definitely!"
Josh is a bit put off by her tone of voice.
"Well, you don't have to judge me," he tells her. "I mean, you're not perfect with everything either!"
"What are you talking about?" she says a bit surprised.
"I mean, you need to work on your social skills. You are condescending and a bit of a turn off!"
"Are you serious!" she replies angrily.
"Yeah, and you know what," Josh continues, "you can just stay where you are and eat your health trash! I will indulge myself in delicious sweets here!"
"Whatever," Julia says and hangs up.
Josh sits down and enjoys his meal.
