Reminiscing About Rice

Nat pours her heart out about Zach ending his paternity leave, worried about being home alone with newborn daughter, conflicted about being a working or stay-at-home mom.

Zach (consoles her, then, without skipping a beat): I can’t believe my rice exploded in the microwave the other night.”

Nat: Why are you still thinking about that?

Zach: I’m reminiscing.

Nat: Reminiscing about rice?

Zach: Yeah.

Nat: Wow.
