ESE: (brief pause) change our minds?
Me: Well, we might be on our way up to Savannah and decide to stop on the beach or we see a sign to a cool place and take a detour.
ESE: (slightly annoyed): We have an itinerary...
Me: But we could change our minds and then we have to hurry because we have a room booked!
ESE: We will not change our minds...
Me: But we might...
ESE (interrupts): No, we might not. We will book this hotel and we will not change our minds because I like to know where I sleep that night. I don't want to end up in some seedy trucker motel like you seem to all the time because you don't plan. (Other) ESE and LII will agree that we stick to our itinerary.
Me (cheerfully): But I would volunteer to pick up the phone in the middle of the night (backstory:I stayed in a seedy motel once and someone thought I was a hooker and called my room to set up a date).
ESE (had had enough): No! I am booking the hotel right now!
Me: *sigh* ok...OH! Can you see if they have these cool waffle maker thingies??? I love those! When I stayed at this place in xyz they had amazing breakfast! You know that was when....
ESE makes "mhm" and "uhuh" noises to pretend she is listening while booking the hotel (which had a waffle making thingy! <3).
