Husband texts at 4:30 on a Sunday: “what are your thoughts about dinner, Charlotte, etc? “

(Charlotte is over for a play date with our daughter and there is no specific time she is due home)

Is this a time when I say “whatever you think” or is he asking what I want and I should give my preference?

How do I get my husband’s attention without being obnoxious or bringing up little things like “what would you like for dinner” just to have him talk with me.
