"I calling her beggar, and she me pricklouse"
Frank exchanges are at the core of every healthy marriage, and you and your wife are doing well, Sam, very well. And "pricklouse" is excellent: your wife is even better with words than you are, Sam.
And I love how you're putting the entire episode into brackets! Without it, we merely read "So up and to my office () and there all the morning." The most subversive use of brackets imaginable.
Either way, your charming entry has made my Saturday morning blues go away. You are a good man, Sam.
