New Year’s Day: No lessons learned

So it’s New Year’s Day and my wife wants a mocha. There’s two gas stations on the corner, one a Petro, the other and Esso .

“Go to the Esso. It’s on the same side as us.”

“No, Petro is on our side.”

“I”m telling you Esso is this side. It has more stuff. Go there.”

“I’m standing outside now and can see it down the street. It’s red, Petro.”

“I’ll bet you $100, it’s Esso.”

“I’ll take that bet.”

Now, mind you we have recently moved here. Yes, it’s been over 6 months. Yes, I pass the two stations every day. I just want to put that out there. 

Long story short. I owe my wife $100.
