"Right" Said Fred

After a riproaring night of my emasculating my husband over our nonexistent sex life
(this went something like...
Him: midsex Nah. I'm just not that interested. Are you tired?
Me: annoyed. am ovulating. supposed to procreate, his choice moreso then mine "Why do I always have to bring my 'A' game? Can't you be interested anyway???? I mean it's like pizza at a hockey rink.

Then I saw it.
In the far right corner.
And I realized "It's Not All Your Fault, Husband"

My go-to sleepwear? A matching set of cotton PJs I bought at the Big Y grocery store in Newtown.

I'm too sexy for this party.

Colonel Slade's words come to mind . . . "There's FIRE under that!"
