I didn’t think it would be so involved

The night before last, I got a craving for some spaghetti and meatballs and was, for whatever reason, too lazy to make it myself.  Instead, I decided to try out the pizza shop inside of the little market at the corner for the first time.  The menu on the wall listed “Spaghetti & Meatballs” so I thought this would be an easy transaction.  Here, verbatim, is my exchange with the young man at the counter:

“I would like an order of spaghetti and meatballs, please.”

“Do you want that with pasta?”

“Yes, spaghetti”

“And would you like that with spaghetti or ziti?”

“Spaghetti.”
