A Phone Conversation With My Husband

Background info: Earlier today, I left a voice message for my husband about downloading a book to a Nook.  I missed his phone call back to me, so I phoned him again.


Me: Hey, sorry I missed your earlier call, but I was hyperventilating down in the basement.


Him: Oh, okay. Well to answer your Nook question --


Me (totally and completely interrupting him): What?! Don't you want to know why I was hyperventilating in the basement?!


Him: I figured you were on the treadmill.


Me: Well, I was. But that's not why I was hyperventilating.


Him: You must have seen a spider then.


Me (all indignant):  YES!


Him (very calmly): Well get a Kleenex and kill it.


Me: NO! It's too big for that!


Him: Get the fly swatter.


Me:  NO! It's too big for that!


Him: Then put a saddle on him and ride him upstairs and out the backdoor into the yard.


Me: … you refuse to take this situation seriously, don't you?


Him: Yep.


Me: Does this mean that you are refusing to come home and kill it?


Him: Yep.


Me: Dang. Pin It Now!
