This is why married people live longer.

Me: Great. Now there's a steak knife under the couch.
[Don't ask how that happened; just go with it.]

Muttering, I start digging under the sofa, until cute husband says Groping for a sharp object you can't see is not the smartest idea ever.

I freeze in place and bang my head on the floor in the universal sign of I-am-an-idiot. I murmur against the carpet Can you come lift the sofa please?

This is why married people live longer.

I want to open my nephews Christmas presents and play with them. We just got them wrapped and I want to open them. They say that's the sign of the best present, if you want to keep them. I also wanted to keep what I got my sister-in-law and niece so much that I bought myself duplicates. I'm either the best or worst present giver ever. But everything is wrapped, which is how I discovered the empty wrapping paper roll light saber duels apparently have no code of honor in my house.

I am triumphantly the first armed, with the first empty roll, and take a quick swing past Roland's head. Roland picks up the full roll of wrapping paper and blocks.
Hey! No fair! Rules require you use an *empty* tube.
Rob grins manically and says Sith Saber.

My light saber cardboard tube is broken in two swings. I pout, because Roland has cheated.
Roland moves to tormenting the cat, unconcerned.
