"Why did you buy it?". I sigh. "Because I like it?" She pauses for a moment, looks at me with that 'What sort of genetic experiment gone wrong is this thing called man' and says, "I like caviar - do you see any of that on the shopping list?" I'll be the first to remind her of this the next time we're in the bottle shop and she sees some Wolfblass Red Label.
