Husband: "I'm getting really tired of making up all these rules and having you not follow them."
(He makes up "rules" on the fly as an instant I-WIN conversation ender. For example: "I see you have the rhetorical edge here and clearly your argument makes more sense than mine, but you're not allowed to disagree with me because I'm the husband. THAT'S THE RULE." This isn't a direct quote, but it's a paraphrase of an interaction we've had thousands of times. Or hundreds. Okay, maybe tens of times. A lot of times, anyway. I don't know how many. It's not like it matters. Stop pressuring me!
Don't you like how most of my post here is a parenthetical?)
