On communication, professional and otherwise.

An exchange with my wife, imagined while doing the dishes

06.06.2011 by David Murray // 4 Comments

I remove a hopelessly mildewy towel from the sink, and throw it away.

My wife objects.

"Why are dish towels the one exception you make to your confounded frugality?" she asks.

"Why are they the only example of yours?" I reply.

(Surely you didn't expect me to lose my imaginary argument.)

    You’re supposed to stick with your “inside voice” for when you win imaginary arguments, David.
    It kinda defeats the purpose when you post your doofusness out here on the blog for all to see . . . but, then again, we did all get a good laugh on you, so, really, thanks!
    You’re so selfless . . . HAHAHAHAHA!!

    The funny thing is she hasn’t seen it yet; we’ve been together all day, and running errands and such, and I haven’t thought to mention it to her. Because she wouldn’t give a rat’s ass about it.
