I’m in the outdoor section of the hardware store, showing a couple some of our stone tiles. I gesture to where the rows of the particular tiles they want start and stop.
Husband: *Angry.* “Where the h*** are you sourcing the stone?! I thought you said it was all made from the same stuff?!”
Me: “It is, sir.”
Husband: “Then why is that stuff so much darker?!”
Me: “Because, sir, that end of the row is shaded by the big tree.”
Husband: “…oh.” *Sheepish laugh.* “Haha, brain fart.”
Wife: “That wasn’t a brain fart, honey. Your brain just s*** its pants.”
