My mom had dropped off two big cuts of really good steak. I'd just had a baby and needed the extra protein. My husband carried the meat into the kitchen and was about to slice it up. I let out a cold laugh. "Hold it. Don't start chopping. Your brother will be here in twenty minutes to pick up his share." He didn't believe me and went to cut it anyway, but before the knife even touched the board, there was a knock. His brother showed up right on schedule. As soon as the door opened, he asked for half. I looked at my frozen-in-place husband and asked, "So? Are you handing it over this time, or not?"
