Wednesday

Earlier tonight, I was telling my husband a story about Dick Cheney. It was serious. I compared him to the CEOs of all the utilities I've worked for during the last seven years and I assured him that Cheney's popularity in the corporate world was due to his ability to speak their language, plus his ability to make a lot of money off the Gulf War.

Well.

My husband laughed during my diatribe. But he did it in a manner that made me think that what I said was the funniest thing he had ever heard. Like I'm the next Ellen Degeneris of politics or something. So of course, I filed this away under my "I'm so clever, I make even politics funny" category. I could be the next Bill Mahr! While I have no idea that I said, I was proud of myself, even.

Until . . . later this evening . . . my husband approached me, giggling.

"I was trying to grab the dog's tongue with my hand!"
