Wine

My sister-in-law wasn't at Family Dinner yesterday. She usually chooses the wine. So, my father asked me what type of wine I wanted and I said a Merlot or Shiraz. He comes back to the table with two bottles and tells me to choose. One was a Cabernet/Merlot mix and the other was a Shiraz. I looked at the labels and read the info on the back and I didn't like the label or info on the Shiraz bottle. It had too many exclamation points and dull colors. So I chose the Cab/Merlot. My father looks at it and says approvingly, "Good choice. Very good choice." And I thought to myself, "Yay! I chose well! Maybe now he'll love me!" I do so cherish the sick and twisted games that my siblings and I play in order to earn the love and approval of our Most Exalted Father.
