A Weekend with the Strongs
A Saturday afternoon conversation.
Seven-year-old Eugenia (cracking pistachios): What fun thing are we going to do today?
Me (typing on the computer): You’re looking at it.
Eugenia (disgusted): You mean, being bored, with nothing to do?
Me: Welcome to life.
Eugenia (sarcastically): What fun!
Craig (to Eugenia): Wow! Great attitude, sweetie!

Craig and I arrive at the movie theater before the box office opens on Friday night and have to spend six minutes in line together.
Craig (after the box office finally opens): That was the longest six minutes of my life!
Me: I’m sorry.
Craig: …
Me: Isn’t it interesting, the things you can get away with saying after you’re married that you really can’t say when you’re dating?
