Default Re: Going out to dinner with Friends

BA---That's too funny.

DH and I are close friends with one couple who are about 15 years older than we are. We used to go out to dinner once or twice a week before DS was born and we spent our money more freely on things like going out to dinner.
Since DS has been born we have gone out a few times, but the last time kind of bugged me a bit.
DH, 1/2 of the couple and I split a pizza. DH got a soda and I ordered a water. Our male friend had 2 beers, and his wife ordered eggplant parm and a soda.
We figured our share of the bill would be $12 MAX (and that is being generous...pizza was less than $10, split 3 ways!!) but our male friend always adds up the bill, and he said $22 will be good. Huh?
We did get to take the 2 slices of leftover pizza, though.
