You and your boyfriend were playing a game where each of you would choose three chips and assign a specific name to them.

He closed his eyes while you pointed to one chip, saying “a cat," then another, again “a cat," and finally a third, once more "a cat." You smiled proudly, he said, "No, we’re not getting another cat. We already have three." He complained, but you just closed your eyes so he could pick the chips.

"Fine, if you want to play it this way," he said smugly, then picked up one chip and said, "a baby," followed by another, "a baby," and then a third, “a baby."
