Marital Tribble-ations
(My work is having a company luncheon, and I do not want to go. I don’t want to seem impolite, since I am still fairly new. I beg my husband to come with me.)
Me: “Please. I really don’t want to go to this by myself. I go to your work stuff all the time.”
Husband: “Yeah, but you like my coworkers.”
Me: “Please? I love you.”
Husband: *smirking* “What’s in it for me?”
Me: “Why should I have to promise you acts of intimacy?”
Husband: “Who said anything about that? I was going to make you promise to watch Star Trek with me!”
