A Conversation
Me: Pete, can we finally watch every existing episode of Doctor Who together?
Pete: Well, I can't promise I'll get into it, but I'll watch it with you.
Me: So if you don't like it, you'll still sit through every episode with me? Or will you say, "To hell with this, woman!"
Pete: I'll say, "To hell with this woman!"
Me: I didn't hear a pause there. Do you mean you'll abandon me or the show? That's a pretty essential comma...
Pete: Of course I meant, "To hell with this show COMMA woman." I'm surprised you couldn't hear it.
Me: I'm going to blog about this.
AND SO WE COME FULL CIRCLE! DONE!

Wait wait wait... so he is not going to watch it???
I wish I could come up with some clever retort about men, using commas. Or about men using commas. But it's late. And the baby cried all day. And such divisive gender-based retorts are completely tasteless!
So: what a wonderful husband you have, and how stealthily he uses his commas!
