Staring at the menu my mouth dropped open, my eyes expanded to their
limit. At that moment, my wife looked at me and said, “What's wrong?” 

I finally was able to say something and conveyed to her nothing was
wrong and I was okay. She knew better. My mouth was still open and my 
eyes were still bulging. 

Then I heard some laughter across the table. I looked up and she was
laughing one of her laughs that I knew had to do with me. 

“Have you decided what you going to order yet?” 

I muttered, stuttered and said nothing at that point. 

“I know what's wrong,” she giggled. 

“Nothing's wrong,” I tried to convince her. 

“You mean to tell me,” she said between giggles, “that you have not
noticed the prices on this menu?” 

Finally, putting the menu down I confessed I had noticed the prices and
could not believe how expensive everything was. I did not know what to 
do, we were out to enjoy the evening together and I was in a 
predicament. 

“You know,” she said quietly, “there's a pizza shop around the corner.
Maybe we could go there tonight.” 

If anybody can read my mind, it is my wife. We paid for the coffee and
tea, went to the pizza shop around the corner, and really, I mean 
really, enjoyed ourselves. 

Driving home that night I thought of what the apostle Paul said.
“Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as 
also ye do” (1 Thessalonians 5:11). 

The best part of a night out is not how much the meal costs, but who you
are sharing it with.
