To March, verb...

To March: Some time before T-giving, but after Sue's surgery, she wanted to cook for some get-together. She has this compulsion to buy a new 3-pack of aluminum pans with lids before every such event. We now have a nice collection of the remaining 2 pans she never used.

I saw it on the list, and I chided her. To save $ and the environment, please use what we've got! She went shopping and bought new ones anyway. Out of spite? Laziness, too lazy to stand on a chair and get the others down?

On Thanksgiving, we were telling Bev & Denise the story. Sue said, "Then she MARCHED across the kitchen and fished them out of the rafters."

"MARCHED? I don't MARCH."

"Yes, you did. You marched across the kitchen and got them. Hup, two, three, four."

"I do not march."

"Yes you do. You were even in a marching band once!"

She got me there. I laughed. Ok, so it was much funnier when it was happening. But the 4 of us went on this riff about marching. Why is that always a choice verb used by arguing couples??
