A Conversation with my Wife
- Wife: "Oh, please remind me that I have to mail something today."
- Me: "What do you have to mail?"
- Wife: "Oh... nothing."
- Me: "C'mon! What is it?"
- Wife: "Fine. It's a Fathers Day card. I was trying to be subtle and not bring up Fathers Day."
- Me: "That's ok. When is Fathers Day?"
- Wife: "Urrrrgh... next weekend. Which I was hoping would come and go without you knowing."
- Me: "Honey, it's ok. I'm a grown-up and I can live with the fact that Fathers Days will happen. I'm fine."
- Wife: "Really?"
- Me: "Yes. Really."
- Wife: "Ok."
- [Pause.]
- Wife: "Then can you mail this card for me?"
