Secret of Socrates

This week I used the secret of Socrates in an interaction with my boyfriend Ryan. We played five softball games this weekend and I was pretty tired. On Saturday we played two games at 12pm and 2pm. We were outside in 40 degree weather for about seven hours (we warm up for about 2 hours before games.) Needless to say I was tired, hungry and slightly irritated. Ryan wanted to go out for a nice dinner following the game. I on the other hand wanted to just relax and have a quiet night. I asked him questions like: Don't you want to just relax? Do you really feel like getting all dressed up? Wouldn't the time it takes to get ready prolong eating for another couple hours, aren't you hungry now? It turned out that Ryan decided to make me a nice pasta dinner. I was very pleased that he converted to my way of thinking.
