The words we probably should have written down sooner

Thirteen years of marriage. Four children. An alarming amount of material.

“Marriage Wisdom: The Hairbrush Dilemma”

Apparently, I am under the mistaken impression that marriage includes shared ownership of personal grooming equipment.

Jo disagrees.

Very strongly.

The last time she caught me with her hairbrush, she looked at me, looked at the brush, and—in what I remember as a bizarrely threatening reference to The Hairbrush Song—said something along the lines of:

“Larry the Cucumber lost his hairbrush. You keep using mine and they’re gonna be singing that song about you.”

Then she walked away.

I stood there holding the hairbrush.

I had several questions.

I asked none of them.

Marriage teaches wisdom. One day I’ll listen…

“Did Jesus spank them?”

Sometimes Moira asks hum dingers of questions… like “did Jesus spank them?” Well, I don’t know, just why don’t you go ask your mother…

“Off Wheeler!”

What do you get when you see a golf cart with knobby wheels…. Jo sees an off road 4×4 wheeler… or an off wheeler!
