London, England
Husband needs a Band-Aid for a blister.
Me: “Boots [U.K. pharmacy chain] is around the corner. I’ll go get some.”
[Thirty minutes later.]
Husband: “I was beginning to worry. Was there not a Boots there after all?”
Me: “No, Boots was there.” (I hand him a box of Band-aids.) “In fact there were many boots on that corner.”
Husband looks at my feet. “Apparently less one pair now.”
Me: “Put on your Band-Aid before you bleed out.”
