Disavowing

(My husband of less than one month has been taken to the hospital for an emergency appendectomy. I’m holding his hand as he lies on a gurney, waiting to be taken upstairs.)

Husband: “I’m so sorry I’m putting you through all this.”

Me: “Well, we did just say ‘in sickness and in health,’ right?”

Husband: “Yeah, I guess we did. By the way, when am I going to be getting some ‘obey’?”

Me: “As soon as I get some ‘richer’!”
