quiet house.
kids asleep.
lunches made.
dishes done.
laundry folded.
I collapse into bed.
tap, tap, hey honeeeeeeyyyyy?
Oh, not tonight dear, I’m exhausted.
What? Are you serious? That’s what you said last night.
(rolls over in a huff)
(looks at the clock, stares at ceiling)
You’re gonna be in a pissy mood all day tomorrow, now aren’t you?
Well I’m not gonna be home tomorrow night, I have a golf tournament and last night was a bust too, soooooooo.
(weighs pros and cons)
OK. I’ll do it but you have to be quick.
I can do that.

The balance of power has been restored, the universe is safe once more.
