Precious

The following exchange really just happened. I was in the living room. The wife was in the kitchen.

The Wife: (reading newly-posted rec league hockey schedule) Which team are you?

Me: Look at the highlighted parts.

The Wife: But which team are you?

Me: The Stonecutters. Why?

The Wife: You don't have a game this week.

Me: You're not reading it right.

(pause)

The Wife: Oh. There's another side. I didn't see it.

Me: I told you to look at the highlighted part.

The Wife: I couldn't see it. The light's not on.
