Friday night the stress of Henry's impending party had gotten to us. We got into an argument over the leftover chicken in a bucket of KFC.

me (taking off a piece of crispy skin): Oh, I see you grabbed the piece I had started to pillage the night we got this.
dave (annoyed that I was once again pillaging a piece of chicken): Okay, are you going to eat that entire piece of chicken now or what? I heated it up for me, but if you're going to pillage it you'd better take the whole thing and eat it.
me(consciously deciding to make a big deal out of it all, because Henry's not the only one around here who's two.): You know what, I am going to take this piece of chicken, and I'm going to take the other piece of chicken you heated up because they're both extra crispy and you always make a big deal about ordering half extra crispy and half original because you don't like the extra crispy.
dave: Are you going to eat both of those pieces?
me: Maybe. Maybe I'll just throw them out. I can do whatever I want. THEY'RE MY PIECES OF CHICKEN!
dave: I can never tell the difference between the two...

We apologized later. Much later. Like, the next day. Then we laughed hysterically.

chicken, who art thus crisply fried,
when upon thee my fair maiden espied,
I huffed and puffed and verily sighed,
but dined on the original along with my pride

Wow, you're the Bard reincarnated. Who knew?
