10.30pm, I'm suddenly starving (I knew dinner was too light).
What snacks are available?
One last (big) slice of bread. Or French cookies that just got here a couple of days ago...
I need to keep the bread for the kids, one of them will want it in the morning.
I just can't swallow a pack of French cookies because I'm suddenly hungry. They're too "precious" for that, and my wife will be upset.
So, I head to the fridge and open a beer. That's how good a father and husband I am.
