That’s right, if my wife cannot have a dog, I cannot get an air fryer machine.

Why can’t she have a dog?

Because I don’t want to take care of it. 

But she says she will take care of it. 

Yes.

Then say it is alone in a room, I will hear it, smell it and feel sorry for it.  I will feel guilty for not taking it for a walk, for playing with it, and for hugging it.  After all, I have so many things I want to do, I don’t think I’ll have time for paying attention to a dog.

How do I feel about not being able to get an air fryer machine? 

I can live without an air fryer.  I mean, it would be great to be able to have sinfully good fried chicken, fried potatoes, and fried onions without the sinfully unhealthy oils.  From what I have read on Amazon, it is a marvelous new cooking technology. 

Perhaps in two or three years, when everyone has an air fryer, and after I have tasted the crispy, luscious air fried foods from others’ machines, I will reconsider.

If I do elect to have both dog and air fryer, perhaps I can accidentally fry the dog.  Sorry.  Just kidding.

Here is one scenario:

Wife gets the dog. I get the air fryer. The air fryer becomes my major hobby.  I cook with it every day while the dog runs around watching and smelling my concoctions.  The dog loves me, or it loves my air fries.  I begin to love the dog.  I take it for walks while munching on air fries.  Wife is happy, I am happy, and dog is happy.

What if I tire of the air fryer, just as I have tired of other hobbies?  The dog still is there.  What if my new hobby requires my time?  What do I do with the dog?  Is this a classic dilemma or what?
