Being precise

The two of us sometimes work at being precise.  There can be a need for exactitude.  It can be a conversational game.  It is sometimes an expression of exasperation between us.

"Honey, I'm off to the store."

"What store?" 

"Kroger's"

"Will you get some eggs?"

"A dozen?"

Just to be a wiseacre, I may come home with 11 eggs or 13.

So far, wiseacre-ing has not led to a demand for a divorce.
