Things My Husband Says

British TV murder mysteries are rarely satisfied with only one body.

A shared sense of humor can help a marriage through thick and thin.

Husband: The last of the bottled water is almost gone.

Me: The delivery is tomorrow.

Husband: I can hit the store to buy a jug.

Me: Thanks.

Four hours later.

Me: Did you pick up more water?

Husband: No. Sorry. I forgot.

Pause

Me: Are you going to?

Husband: No.

Pause

Me: Are you prepared to listen to me complain?

Husband: Always. If I wasn’t, I wouldn’t have married you.

Me: That’s fair.

While watching a British police detective show:

Husband: There are always multiple murders on this show. The murderers, for some reason, say ‘Oh, the police are in town investigating a murder. I should murder a couple more people.’

Me: The police will never notice an extra body or two.

Husband: Exactly.
