question: A couple of days ago , my dad called and asked if I was going to a midnight showing of The Dark Knight . I told him that I 'd taken today off , but that , no , I was n't really planning on going to see it until after my wife got off work . Fast forward to yesterday . We got home from work , and my wife says that , if I really wanted to , we could go to the midnight showing .
Q: Why did n't the narrator go to see the midnight showing a couple of days ago ?

answer: Because his wife was probably too tired after work .

question: She was okay , but even before then I felt like she liked to gossip too much . And she was always needing help with something ... she was n't the brightest crayon in the box . Caesar moved after sixth grade , so our non - romance was short lived .
Q: What might the phrase " she was n't the brightest crayon in the box " mean ?

answer: None of the above choices .

question: Today we had a meeting with our Investment Services down in the big , big city of Boston , Massachusetts . It meant we had to get up early , and then quickly eat and get ready before our 2 hour drive . I decided I needed to look business like , and so I dragged out my " power suit " . A Jones New York black pantsuit that I wore with a white shell .
Q: What is probably the reason for the trip .

answer:
They are attempting to solidify an agreement .
