Kim: Sam, we need to talk about the kitchen.

Sam: Is this about the dishes again?

Kim: Yes. There are eight plates in the sink. They are from Monday.

Sam: I was busy. I had two exams this week.

Kim: I had a presentation, and I still washed my plates every day.

Sam: Fine, but you use more plates than me. You eat four meals a day!

Kim: That's not true. I eat three, and I cook for both of us on Sundays.

Sam: Hmm, that's fair. So what do you suggest?

Kim: A simple system. You wash up on odd days, I wash up on even days.

Sam: And Sundays?

Kim: On Sundays we use paper plates and order pizza.

Sam: Now you're talking. Deal.

Kim: And please don't hide dirty pans in the oven again!

Sam: That was only one time!

Kim: It was a month.

Sam: I hid them well.
