smart ass

My husband and I have been happily married for 34 years. I didn’t think anything could break us, even Covid-19 lockdown. And then, the other night , I happened to ask him why he wiped his ass standing up. Well, you would have thought I’d accused him of some heinous crime. My kind and gentle husband who is usually all light and laughter, ranted on about What business was it of mine?, Could he have no privacy? etc. I was stunned. I thought he was being ridiculous; he thought I was Taking Things Too Far. For the first time ever, we went to bed grumpy with each other. So 2020 won on that day. We were laughing together again the next though. Whew!
