I couldn't help but smile when a bird outside our kitchen trilled, "Whew, whew, whew!" Then it switched to "Wee-oop, wee-oop, wee-oop!"
"Listen to that!" I cried aloud, as Kim kept chopping her kale. I went to the screen for a **** while the bird continued.
The singing abruptly stopped, and so did I. I put away my pipe and started a gluten-free diet. I cancelled our subscription to the New York Times, and filed for divorce.
This was no surprise to Kim. "You were always an *******," she said. "Same as that ******* bird."
