kinda like the one NOT missing |
Last nights conversation as we were climbing into bed
Bill: Did you find your cross charm?
Me: Yes. It was with all the other stuff.
Bill: So you found your cross?
Me: Um......., I just said I found it with the other stuff.
Bill: That wasn't your cross laying on the closet floor?
Me: Wait......., what cross on the floor?
Bill: I JUST ASKED YOU IF YOU FOUND YOUR CROSS?!
Me: I don't understand. I didn't lose my cross.
Bill: There was ONE on the closet floor. I assumed you dropped it out of your jeans pocket so I put it on the bathroom counter.
Me: WHY WOULD YOU ASK IT LIKE THAT? Why wouldn't you say " I found a cross on the closet floor, IS IT YOURS?"
Bill: I did
Me: No, no, YOU SAID did I find my cross?! Which implies that I knew I lost it WHICH I didn't. Except for the first time I was looking which was 2 weeks ago. Which was the question I thought you were asking. You're asking it wrong.
Bill: Why would I ask you about the cross from 2 weeks ago? Why do I talk to you?? [lots of moaning - but not for a good reason]
Me: Look............a quarter. ( a comment I make when I'm done with this conversation)
Clearly I need to keep up with that cross for reasons other than redundant questioning.
I love quarters |
