While I Was Gone
I was at the gym.
The Pres was home.
He got company.
Walking in the door, I said, "Honey, what's burning?"
Nonchalantly, he responded in a calm, almost monotone voice, "I think it's the box for your internet."
ME: "Did you call Charter?"
HIM, in an excited exuberant tone: "Hon, you should see all the turkeys that were in the yard this morning! I took pictures with your little camera.There were at least thirty!"
ME, placing my hand on the modem: "Honey, I'm more concerned about why the modem is so hot and smells like it's burning NOT how many turkeys were in the yard. I think you should call them."
HIM: "I guess."
ME: MEN!!
One more thing. A few more things.
The technician came.
The modem was replaced.
No melting plastic odor.
No turkeys in the yard.
I am home.
