perspectives

so my (beautiful lovely helpful gifted nutty) sister came over today and told me she caught this on tv and i have to share because it's totally my life right now.

the husband comes home after a long and stressful day at work and as he's unwrapping himself from the layers of winter clothes he complains, "god what a day!  my boss was on my back all day about this one deal and then i had three other deals fall through because these people just DON'T know what they're doing, and i had to pay our insurance today - again! - i think they're charging us double rates, and of course i didn't even have a moment to eat or take a break, i've been on the phone all day and - " husband suddenly notices pregnant wife on sofa, calmly sipping tea and eating crackers while reading a novel - "well, what did YOU do all day?  did you even move since i left this morning?"

wife, without looking up, "oh, today i made a lung.  it was exhausting, but i'm feeling better now."
