Marital Banter

Brantley: “Who tore all my whole wheat pitas in half?”
Me: “Lucas did it.”
Brantley: “Lori Lyle, I’m tired of your lies.”
Me: “And, I’m tired of telling them, but you keep asking me questions I don’t want to answer.”

Marital Banter

Brantley had just fixed himself a fine looking turkey sandwich. I can’t explain it, but I was feeling the overwhelming urge to bully someone. So without giving it too much thought I punched his sandwich flat. The bread was soft, and it felt great. Brantley expressed his disapproval. “What the hell was that for?”
“I don’t know,” I said. “I just saw it and felt like punching it.”
“I see something I feel like punching too.”
“Point taken. You complete me.”
