The house phone rang... [View all]

wife answered it downstairs.

She came up a few moments later and said that we've been invited to a Valentine's Dance by another couple.

I looked at her, quizzically.

Me: Wut?

Her: Stop it. It's what I just said...

Me: A dance?

Her: (rolls eyes) Yes

Me: Where?

Her: At so and so Hall.

Me: You mean, they'll be...people there?

Her: Yes

Me: And I'll have to wear...clothes?

Her: You can wear the chick magnet. (the "chick magnet" is a beautiful custom tailored suit that I've not worn in awhile. It's probably turned into a pile of thread by now in the closet. My wife sarcastically calls the suit the "chick magnet" ).

Me: Fuck no, we're not going.

Her: Think about it. It'll be fun.

We'll almost certainly end up going.

Because I don't have a say in this.
