Married Life: A Play in One Act

An exchange between me and The Mrs. in the car, talking about The Boy:

She: “Maybe next year he should go as a member of Devo for Halloween.”

Me: “Well, that would probably guarantee him free haircuts for life from the woman who cuts my hair.”

She: “Yeah, I’ll bet.”

Me: “Do you know what I’m talking about?”

She: “No.”

Me: “Then why did you say ‘yeah’?”

She: “Sometimes it’s just easier that way.”
