Voice: Well, you did something that made her sulk.
Faye: That’s too broad… let’s say …
Voice: So what did you do that made her sulk?
Faye: Let’s say… just hypothetically… she asks for green apples. I go buy green apples for her. But after I buy them, she wants red apples instead.
Voice: Why didn’t you buy both?
Faye (laughs)
Voice: There are two colors, so you should buy both just in case.
Faye: But which color did she ask for?
Voice: You should still buy extra. They’re right next to each other, just grab both, right? Why do you need someone to tell you?
Faye: Really?
Voice: You are the Me (Seme). Why should I have to tell you?
Faye: Okay, another example. Let’s say she wants som tam (papaya salad). She says she only wants som tam, so I just buy som tam.
Voice: And then what?
Faye: Then she asks, “Why didn’t you buy sticky rice?” So whose fault is that?
Voice: Because they go together.
Faye (laughs)
Voice: Som tam and sticky rice are a pair. Actually, there should also be grilled pork neck, because if the som tam is spicy, you need the pork to balance it.
Faye: I buy red soda, and then she asks, “Why didn’t you buy green soda?” So whose fault is that? We’re each drinking our own drink anyway.
Voice: You can drink more than one glass.
Faye (sighs)
Voice: See? You still don’t get it. Just asking the question already means you’re wrong; you shouldn’t even ask.
Faye (laughs)
Voice: If you’re drinking red soda, after a while, you’ll want green soda too.
Faye: Seriously?
Faye: Everyone, this isn’t fair. There’s no fairness in this. I can’t accept it, I really can’t!
Voice: Let people know.
Faye: Who decided that the Ke (Uke) always has to be the one who’s right?
