Sometimes I realize how much of a child I am and marvel I'm supposed to be an adult. I'm supposed to raise other humans? People listen to me for a living telling them what to do? Dear lord Jesus.


Wife: yeah


Yeah.. i mean I'm an infant.


Wife: yes

Wife: you're not. Can you get my glasses?


Goddammit woman stop telling me what to do! (Brings glasses). You're always riding my ass asking this and that.


Wife, reading: mmm

Wife:....


How can you say so much without saying anything to me?


Wife: I haven't said anything 


Are you saying it's all in my head? 


Wife: I'm not saying anything 


Fuck.
